Benidorm,
which is located just 20 minutes north of the city of Alicante
and 10 minutes south of Calpe on the Costa Blanca coast Spain,
is such as action-packed city. Even though it has a beautiful
stretch of soft sandy beaches, we should leave this leisure
activity for the end because there are so many kinds of tourist
parks to visit around Benidorm.
The
biggest attraction in Benidorm:
Terra
Mitica This park in English is called ´Mythical
Land´, because it is a theme park which takes us back
to the ancient civilizations of Rome, Egypt and Greece, all
of which were Mediterranean civilizations. As we all know,the
heroes from those times were very brave, not letting anything
or anyone frighten them. Do you think you will be like them
after having ridden on the topsy turvy roller coaster? Or
controlling your heartbeat after riding on many of the other
attractions especially set up for you? Maybe you think you
will recover a little after watching one of the gladiator
shows? Your adrenalin will be pumping fast with all the professional
actors making ancient life come so close to you. There is also
a part of this park for adventurous kids too.Terra Mitica
is open all year round; from November to April it is only
open at the weekends and on Spanish holidays.
Aqualandia
Water Amusement Park
So you want to cool down a little but the beach is not your
cup of tea? Here at Aqualandia you can enjoy a days outing
with the whole family. The children can slide down all the
water slides as many times as they wish, always being well
cared for by the lifeguards on duty. There are water chutes of every size, diving board areas, rapidly moving waters and
even a black hole. For the sunbeauties like mum and grandma,
you can lay around on comfortable hammocks and enjoy a picnic
lunch in the shaded areas. It is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
and is located on the north entrance hillside to Benidorm.
Another
view on the Costa Blanca at the Terra
Natura Park This is not like any other wildlife
park. Here, there are four theme areas and a water park. 1.500
animals of over 200 species, 50 of which are in danger of extinction.
What a privilege to be the lucky ones to see these living
specimens up close! And not only these animals but their natural
habitats and fauna which makes their living quarters appropriate
for them. As you enter the park, the first area to visit is
the Pangea, taking you back in time to when there were rivers
petrified from hot burning lava, abundant vegetation hiding
gigantic insects and many other surprises. To the left you
are carried away to America, discovering an old mine converted
into a tropical farm.
The
colorful macaws are found in the dove cove and later on the
old joins the new in the colonial town of Copaltenango. In
the center is Asia. As you stroll through the natural reserve
of Kaziranga, you are able to see rhinoceros, buffaloes and the temple of the wildcats. In this section there is a marvelous
park for children to play in. And last, but of course not
least, is Europe. In the town of Kalicameni, white-washed
and full of comedians and natives singing their local songs.
All this may sound tiring, but there are many a new food to
be tried and a thirst-quenching drink to be had at any of
the fabulous restaurants. And for those who need an extra thrill,
in the Mare Nostrum waterway, you are fully equipped to have
splash with live sharks! Terra Natura is open all year round,
offering special passes for those who know how to appreciate
a good opportunity and to take advantage of it as often as
possible.
The promenade at AquaNatura Park will
guide you to the beach where you can stretch out in the sun and take a
dip. Changing rooms, beach bars and more than 1.000 metres of thrilling
water chutes and exclusive bathing areas for children will ensure you
have a day full of fun and excitement! Our water park
of 40,000 square metres has been designed for EVERYONE to have a good
time, with an emphasis on providing an open visual field so that parents
can relax in peace while their children have fun playing in the water.
Aqua Natura has five large sections: the wave pool, the water chutes, the children’s pool, the lighthouse breakwater and the SPA and sun deck
Benidorm
and the Doliphins at the Mundomar
Marine Animal Park Do you enjoy the water and its
interesting animal kingdom but prefer to be on land? Then
Mundomar (Seaworld) Marine Animal park is your best bet. All
of us have read adventure stories about dolphins and feel
that they are our friends, well it’s time to visit them.
Here we can see the silly antics of these adorable sea creatures
close up. Or chat up a conversation with the colorful parrots.
The
elegance and grace is personified with the exhibition of flamingos,
so pink! Who has not had a turtle in their home as a pet,
but to see ones that you could probably ride is another surprise.
But, are you still even more curious and want to see what
the marine world is like under the water. Well, we can all
become Ariel, or Sebastian as in the Little Mermaid book and
go down into a ship and have a look around the sea bottom.
Refreshments and resting places are abundant. The entrance is nearthe cross
roads of Avenue Mediterranean and Avenue Europe. Do not miss
