We booked a couple plus Balneario in the spa for a Thursday daytime. I tried to book online but the website wasn’t working properly and didn’t allow me to book, I tried to call the English speaking number, unfortunately no one answered the ringing telephone. I got in touch with the spa via WhatsApp and was answered very quickly, I asked for someone who can speak English as Afraid I do not speak Spanish. Someone came on within a minute or two, they answered all of my queries, checked availability and booked the spa deal for me. There was a check my credit card worked with a 1 cent withdrawal and refund and I was told I would pay on arrival. All Costs were very clear, I was told to bring a padlock, flip flops and swimming hat with me, if I didn’t have them I could purchase upon arrival. We arrived, parked and walked in, I was greeted by a lovely lady at reception who asked an English speaking colleague to assist me, everything was very straightforward and we had no issues. We went into the spa, got changed locked everything away and headed off to the massage, what a wonderful place! We loved it, needed up spending 7 hours in the spa/pool area. Everything was very clean and well maintained, every member of staff was helpful and polite, even the maintenance guys we saw checking the pool said hello and smiled at us. Everything was working, we had no problems or issues at all. The cafe by the pool was not expensive. We will be coming back next year and will be telling everyone we know to come. Thank you for an amazing day out!

Visited this tapas bar for some evening food. Paulicarus and Jorvic chose a very fishy selection. Two smoked salmon wraps with crab (?) Filling, a Russian salad, a tuna/tomato empinada and a couple of potato skins. All good. A beer and white wine to accompany. Very quiet on our visit. ( Wednesday night mid April.) Very friendly and helpful staff. 23.1€. Very reasonable.

The Cathedral of Murcia, built between the 14th and 18th centuries, is a striking symbol of the city’s history and artistic evolution. Originally constructed on the site of a former mosque, it showcases a unique mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Its elaborate Baroque façade is especially impressive, drawing the eye with its dramatic sculptures and intricate detail. The 90-meter bell tower—among the tallest in Spain—was built over several centuries and reflects the architectural changes of its time. Inside, the cathedral features a spacious Gothic nave and numerous chapels, the most notable being the Capilla de los Vélez, known for its ornate star-shaped dome. Visitors can also explore the small museum located in the former cloister, which displays religious art, sculptures, and historical artifacts from the region. Beneath the main altar lies the tomb containing the heart and entrails of King Alfonso X the Wise, a detail that adds both historical and emotional depth to the site. Whether you're interested in architecture, history, or simply enjoying beautiful spaces, the Cathedral of Murcia offers a rich and memorable experience. Entrance is priced at €5 for the cathedral alone and €4 for the museum; a combined ticket for the cathedral and museum is €7.

Over the years visiting Murcia, all we remember is the lack of parking spaces. This time, we found a place. 30min walk, but what an experience. The town and above all, this excellent museum. Discount for OAP's and clean toilets. Above all, an amazing building well displayed and worth the charge to entry. It seems to be soon in use, at least half of it. Despite the translation to casino, we reckon it means old English Club House. Ornate and well restored recently. The translation to "Royal" Also we reckon it means "Real", not the crown. The Ball Room is spectacular. And they host some modern exhibitions. We couldn't stop taking pictures. It means it is worth visiting.

They say there are only two natural places like this in the world — here and one in Israel, which makes the experience even more special. Entrance is free, which is a big plus! Parking right next to the site can be tricky, but you can usually find a spot within a 10-minute walk from the main road. The air has a slight smell due to the surroundings, but the mud itself doesn’t have an unpleasant odor. There are several piers that provide access to the lagoon, a lot of space for everyone. The piers are often muddy, so keep that in mind if you’re planning to put your belongings down — they may get dirty. Bring a small bowl or container to collect the mud — or someone might lend you one. You’ll usually find plenty of mud just under the piers. Apply it to your skin while on land, let it dry for about 20 minutes, and then rinse it off in the lagoon. The water is shallow and pleasantly warm, and the bottom is surprisingly hot in places. There are a few benches around the area — some are located right next to the piers, which is convenient for resting or keeping your things off the ground (and away from the mud). Right across from the lagoon, you can refresh yourself in the sea — without the mud this time! The sea is also shallow and warm.

Here at Playa del Acequión, the sea and sand belong to everyone. It feels like a glimpse of the moneyless, open-access future I imagine in my book Waking Up – A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity.

So beautiful! It was á really hot day and we could get in shaddow if we wanted to. A lot of plants, treas, statues and fountains to look at. We also enjoyed seeing the peacocks.

Very interesting architecture, almost a mini Sagrada Familia. After visiting the church, it's possible to take a hiking tour in the area. Be aware of the elevation gain, though.

It was a great little trip, boat ride over there. I expected an island with little on there, however, got there to find one half had a few houses Inc little boutique shop and some cafes and restaurants. The other half was the military side, which had interesting facts and ruins from way back, lovely cliff walking and beautiful stoney beaches. We spent approx 3 hours there, took a picnic, bin are there to dispose of rubbish, and a loo opposite the beach, you could definatly spend longer by going swimming etc, overall a wonderful day out.

"Rising up from the mountain of Saint Christopher at an altitude of 550 metres, the castle is strategically located on the corridor of the River Vinalopó, giving it control of passage towards the lands and valleys of Castilla La Mancha, the valley of Montesa and the lands of Valencia and Murcia. The fortress now allows us to distinguish the two key periods in its history: Islamic and Feudal. Its construction began with the Almohads in the late 12th century, employing the rammed earth building technique to raise the ramparts and the first two floors of the keep. This involved compressing a damp mixture of sand, gravel and lime into an externally supported frame or mould, creating a solid wall. Various changes took place after the Christian conquest in the 14th and 15th centuries, which included the stone reinforcement of the existing ramparts, the enlargement of the keep using masonry, which reflects how the tower looks today, and the construction of an outer wall or barrier surrounding the entire fortress, in line with Castilian traditions. As a result, it was transformed into a magnificent late medieval construction whose structure and appearance allow us to place it amongst the large castles that marked the extensive Marquisate of Villena."

A great trip to the top of the castle, with the most amazing views. Cafe and toilets. You may have to queue for the lift up to castle, but it’s well worth the wait. Price for entry was €2.70 ish, but we got in free as ‘seniors’!! There seemed to be less queues to go down in the lift at the Castle level, as I think most people took a toilet break (level 2) so queues were longer there.

Absolutely amazing medium sized museum, with lot of interactive screens and a lot of prehistoric and Iberic and Roman period of the region. The only fault is that half of the museum explanations isn't translated in English.

Definitely worth a visit as it only costs 1€ and Javier will give you an excellent summary, in Spanish, about its history which dates back to the Moorish period of the 12th Century. There are interactive projected displays on two floors of the Homage Tower albeit in Spanish only. The Castle's location has always been of strategic importance between Valencia and Murcia.

Very long beach with many amenities, restaurants, playgrounds and sports facilities. Good connection to Alicante city centre via one of the tram lines. February sea temperature of almost 16° still allow you to swim. Nice for the whole day.

Brilliant and unusual fun. Around 50 windows cut straight into the rock face which were used for centuries as stores or tombs, but more recently have joined together as a kind of 3D labyrinth. You have to haul yourself through holes in the walls, floor and ceiling to explore and find your way out. The steps are narrow metal grates leading to the first window so you need a head for heights, and the journey through the caves is quite narrow and physical so you need a reasonable level of strength and fitness. You have to leave bags and coats at the start; you'll need both hands and practical clothes and shoes. You will get a bit dusty. We saw a couple of small (7-8 years) children - they needed a leg up through the ceiling holes but were fine otherwise.

Well organized safari . Worth the money. Was €25 euro per person. Cars follow the guide and he stops and talks about each animal group. Lasts around 2 1/2 hours . You can also walk around an area before the safari gate and view the animals there on foot .

Playground for children and a gym for adults. Right by the Poniente beach with toilets and cafes nearby.. Not really a park in the conventional sense so dog walkers should perhaps stick to the promenade but a great space for children and keep fit folk.

Loved this place 30+ years ago when I took my 3 children. This year we went back and took my now adult children plus my 3 young grandchildren. I was still amazed by it and so where they. Its such a lovely place. I remember going on that oldest wooden roller coaster 30+ years ago so its quite sad its not not in use now. This place is very different and great place to get fab photos especially in all the different country themes.

We hired both apartments with connecting door, lovely and spacious clean and well equipped. Good wheelchair access in downstairs apartment. Would definitely stay here again, I would try all beds as I like a soft mattress.

Very hot, very clean. It can rain but we need that. It soon clears up

Very clean, well maintained, public sandy beach. It felt safe, and people were civilized. Great background with the tall buildings in the back. There are plenty of restaurants on the shoreside. There are plenty of sunbeds to rent. Lifeguards on watch. The water is not too steep.

I would give this water park in Benidorm more than five stars. It is simply SENSATIONAL! To be honest, I didn’t have the courage to try all the rides, especially the waterslide VERTIGO, but it’s incredibly fun to watch the brave ones make their descent. The park is huge, offering a wide variety of food and drink options. There are also lockers available for €7 per day, which is really convenient. Not to mention the numerous picnic areas that make it easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Without a doubt, this is one of the best-structured water parks I’ve ever visited.

We've visited this park more times and it's always nice to visit. Bit small, but you can definitely spend a few hours here. Today we booked the delphin encounter which was great! We swam with the dolphins and it was such a great experience!

Nestled atop a strategic hill overlooking the charming city of Xàtiva, the Castell de Xàtiva stands as a majestic testament to centuries of history, a fact repeatedly lauded by visitors in their reviews. The sheer historical significance of this site, having witnessed the passage of Roman, Islamic, and Christian civilizations, deeply resonates with those who explore its ancient walls. Many reviewers enthusiastically point out the breathtaking panoramic vistas that unfold from the castle ramparts, offering sweeping views of the sprawling urban landscape below and the picturesque surrounding countryside. This visual reward is frequently cited as more than compensating for the journey to the summit, whether undertaken by car, the convenient tourist train, or even a more challenging but rewarding walk through the historic pathways. The general consensus is that the modest entrance fee represents excellent value for the rich historical and visual experience on offer. Visitors consistently praise the well-maintained state of the castle and the informative signage provided in multiple languages, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of the site's multifaceted past. The distinct character of the castle's two main sections, the older Castell Menor and the later Castell Major, provides a diverse exploration experience, each offering unique perspectives and architectural nuances. Several reviewers specifically mention the enchanting sight of the castle illuminated against the night sky, adding another layer of allure to this historical gem. The ascent from the town itself is often described as an interesting prelude to the main attraction, with opportunities to observe the remnants of old churches and other historical structures along the way. The castle's intriguing history as a former prison, coupled with its connections to prominent historical figures such as the infamous Borgia family, further enriches the visitor experience. Adding to the convenience and enjoyment, the presence of a cafeteria at the castle allows visitors to relax and savor refreshments while soaking in the stunning scenery. While some reviews mention the limited parking at the summit and the uphill walk as potential considerations, the overwhelming sentiment remains that the Castell de Xàtiva is an unmissable destination, offering a captivating blend of history, breathtaking views, and a tangible connection to the past.

Very nice experience. The cave isn't very big, but it's peaceful, less commercial, and it offers plenty to see. This was our favorite cave to visit compared to Coves del Canelobre, by far. The entry fee is only 4 euros/ adults. The entrance is guided and starts approximately every 30 minutes. The guide could only speak Spanish. However, he could explain everything in a way that we could actually understand him. He was also very friendly. There are some free street parking spots next to the entrance. Once a year, they have a live concert in the cave. Tickets can only be purchased on site. The next one is on 28th september 2025. Approximately 250-300 people attend.

Great place to visit and what a scale! Just WOW, must visit for sure! Use QR code in the information center at the entrance to get to the web site with the story of the place. Makes sense to download Simat city app as well, as touristic center is closed in August till Sep 3rd
