I walked in the Mondragó National Park most mornings when staying at the Club Cala Barca resort - a very refreshing way to start your day, and the beaches and clifftop views are lovely!

Lovely white sand. Not too busy. Lunch at the bar on the beach was lovely. A 10 min walk from the parking to the beach. Recommended.

!! A small reminder: please don't pollute this natural wonder. Take your trash and belongings with you, and let's help keep this magical place clean and pristine !! An amazing sea, an amazing serenity — far from the city, far from the noise of cars, surrounded by birds and accompanied only by the sound of the waves. The open water is crystal blue; you can go as deep as you want, and the clarity of the water is astonishing — you can easily see the bottom at any depth. I highly recommend visiting.” 🌊✨

Mondragó is pure magic! Strolling through its trails, I was hit by the scent of pine and the sight of turquoise waves crashing against cliffs it’s like nature’s own masterpiece. The beaches, S’Amarador and Cala Mondragó, are absolute gems for a dip or just soaking in the views. Best part? Entry is free, so you can wander this paradise without spending a cent! For a quieter visit, aim for early morning to dodge the crowds and catch the sunrise over the dunes. Oh, and did you know this park is home to over 70 species of orchids? Pack comfy shoes and a camera you’ll want to capture every moment of this Balearic beauty

Natural de Mondragó is one of the most beautiful natural spots in Mallorca. The park has two smaller but stunning beaches with crystal-clear water, and the whole area feels calm and peaceful—even when it’s busy. A big plus: no sunbeds, so the beaches keep their natural charm. Parking can be tricky. There’s a large paid lot, or you might find free street parking nearby—but come early, as spaces fill up fast. The biggest downside is the public toilet—it technically exists, but it’s in terrible condition, so don’t count on it. Still, for the scenery and the experience, Mondragó is absolutely worth visiting. 🏝

One of our favourite beach spots in Majorca! We stayed at Playa Mondrago which was right behind this beach. It was our favourite part of Majorca, would recommend hiring a car if you can so you can also do day trips. Be vigilant with driving as some roads are quite narrow in Majorca 😅

Beautiful spot. Nice size cove/beach… great walks around headlands.

Beautiful beach with shallow turquoise waters, in a protected area. In April it was very dirty under piles of algae. And they collect 5 euro for parking, no matter if you want to stay 1 hour or all day. Also, the last 2 km of road is very narrow. In summer, when the traffic is heavy, it won't be fun.

A very beautiful and interesting beach. But it doesn't deserve all five stars for several reasons. The first thing to pay is to enter the parking lot. Secondly, black algae collects in some parts of the water. Third, there is only one small modest bar where you can buy a drink or a snack. But in general, the water is clear, clean, shallow for children and very pleasant for swimming. Yachts are anchored not far from the coast, which means that many people come here to swim. The beach is clean and spacious, so there are no big crowds. In my opinion, it is worth taking the time to come for two or three hours and then go to the next beach.

A very nice long sandy beach, during the day surely very crowded in August. We were there in the evening (a very good spot for sunsets), then it was bearable. Parking fee is 5 euros for cars, no matter when you arrive, and the parking lot closes at 9 p.m. The access road to the parking lot is a long narrow street with a lot of oncoming traffic. The toilets at the beach entrance were the most disgusting thing I have ever experienced in my life – filthier than at any festival. Supposedly the place is a nature reserve, but there is a lot of trash lying around.

Very beautiful beach with a large parking lot 3 minutes from the beach with a fixed fee of €8 for a day, for those who say that the road to the parking lot is narrow and that parking is expensive, I don't know what world you live in.

For the end of October we found this beach very dirty. If you don’t want to pay the €8 for parking, you can park for free in Colonia Saint Jordi, on Av. Primavera, on the white lines and then walk to the beach. But better choose the more beautiful beaches from the south of the island, like Cala Santanyi, Llombards or Moro.

Don’t waste time on your trip to visit this beach. There are many beaches with clear water that you don’t have to pay for parking. Also this beach has absolutely no shade anywhere. No showers, no bathroom, no changing rooms. When I visited the amount of seaweed made the water like mud.

you don't have showers. you don't have toilets. parking is 8€ all day and extremely hot. it is recommended to take an umbrella and drinking water. in return the beach is very beautiful with a smooth entrance and crystal clear water.

Soller is a beautiful sea side town with several small local shops and restaurants. Its relaxing to just walk around, take in the beautiful views, enjoy the fresh air. We took the train into town, while the train was very full of people, it was a nice ride into town. Might be less crowded earlier. Great way to spend a day, enjoy a lunch and wander in and out of the shops. (It wasnt loaded with the shirt shops and souvenirs)

We had a lovely time catching the train from Palma to Soller. I would recommend purchasing your tickets in advance and getting to the station at least 30 minutes before the train is due if you want to sit together. People queue on the platform up to an hour before departure time. We arrived to get the 12 midday train but there were no tickets so we had to wait until 1.30pm which was fine. The train takes around an hour and the route is very scenic, it is an old wooden train. It was a really pleasant trip. There are many opportunities for great photos and videos along the way, through olives groves and mountain views. Would recommend, as it is a lovely trip. We were told by friends after that is is more cost effective to get the train there and the bus back, but we had already purchased return tickets. Once at Soller, you can get the tram down to the Port which was equally lovely.

This was a lovely excursion and the views were beautiful. You het the train from Palma the the tram down to Port Soller. Recommend buying tickets in advance as its very busy, however this is pointless for the trams as its a free for all. We were OK going down to the port but returning was awful! We were squashed on like sardines! There didn't seem to be anyone really stopping people from squeezing on! The experience was worth doing but make sure you don't value your personal space! We drive there later in the week and the views were better and space wasn't an issue. But we can say we've done it. The towns were beautiful though and definitely worth visiting.

The Sóller tram is a lovely and charming experience that we truly enjoyed. However, it's important to note that it gets extremely crowded. The current frequency of the trams doesn't seem sufficient to handle the massive volume of tourists, leading to significant congestion and wait times.

The train and tram ride from Palma to Port de Sóller offers a nostalgic journey through Mallorca’s stunning countryside. The historic wooden train, in service since 1912, travels 27 km through the Serra de Tramuntana, passing tunnels, bridges, and citrus groves. At Sóller, passengers transfer to a charming 1913 electric tram that winds through the town and down to the scenic harbor. Originally built to transport oranges, the route is now a beloved attraction. With vintage carriages and panoramic views, this ride combines history, culture, and natural beauty in one unforgettable experience.

Travelled by Train from Palma to Sóller and to the Port by Tram. Both places worth a couple or three hours. On returning to Sóller Train station, I found, in the old station building a free exhibition of the works of Picasso and Miro. There were great views from both the Train and the Tram.

Excellent trip. We travelled by bus there and returned on the train. Lovely train ride. Shame it wasn't orange season.

I recommend to get here early we were there at 09H45 and got straight in. When we left there were huge queues. It's a very good aquarium, lots to look at and do. I only rated it 4 stars as we missed the Mediterranean gardens and went straight to the jungle, the staff were ushering families that way but not us. The shark tank is good but its sad to see theese beautiful animals in captivity. All accessible for wheelchair users its a great place to visit for a few hours. I recommend going early on a rainy day to kill a few hours

On Monday, we visited the Palma Aquarium on the coach which is included in the price (we booked through Jet2, who are based in the hotel) and had an absolutely fantastic day! There’s so much to see and do — and we even did one of the extras: the bottom glass boat ride in the shark tank. It was €12 each and definitely worth it! I believe under 3s go free (but double check just in case). My little one had a fantastic day. It is one of the best aquariums I have been to there is so much to do for all ages! Staff were lovely and helpful throughout the day!

We visited Palma Aquarium in Mallorca for the first time, and overall, it was a nice experience. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the place is well organized. The highlight for us was definitely the shark tank – it was fascinating to see them up close! The ticket also included a 3D cinema with a short film about whales that lasts around 10–15 minutes, which was interesting and enjoyable, especially for kids. I would recommend visiting with young children, as there are many different species of fish and sea creatures to see. The only downside is the ticket price, which I find quite expensive considering you can go through the entire aquarium in less than an hour.

Beautiful Aquarium. Its nice place to spend time with family and children. Clean easy to navigate in areal. A plenty of beautiful and colorful fish and corals from different seas. Plus is as well rainforest garden and medittarean garden. There are options for snack and food in reasonable prices. Clean and tidy toilets. We booked tickets online and went around 11.00 on weekday so there wasn t mmy people . Ticket price its worth it . Thank you for nice spend day.

30 Euros for adults but there are some package deals on their website that include some of the 'extras' like a shark boat or 3D cinema etc. We opted for straight entry for 3 adult tickets and received ten Euros off. It's a quality aquarium kept spotlessly clean and tidy. There are lots and lots of small to medium sized viewing tanks as you wander an obvious route. The glass magnifies them so you get to appreciate the colours and detail and they have a superb selection. Initially its very dark. So much so that you can easily bump into people but then your eyes eventually adjust. The more popular tanks have a bit of a wait to get to the front as you would expect but totally worth it. Even the souvenir shop at the end has some really good stuff!

Enjoyed the aquarium but it's way too expensive for the time I spent walking around everything (90 mins). No turtles on display but the two big tanks were amazing, the informative information was very good. More aimed at children in general and trying to upsell photographs, gifts from the shop which is disappointing.

Great experience overall! The Palma Aquarium offers a wide variety of marine life and beautifully designed tanks. The big shark tank is truly impressive. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it for families and ocean lovers. Staff were friendly, and everything was clean and well-maintained. Could use more interactive exhibits, but still a great visit. I’d definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

Historical cathedral, research hours and buy your tickets in advance. Don't be surprised to see street vendors on the grounds. The number 25 bus drops you off very close and the city center is just behind it. Cobblestone so watch you footing. Fun place to walk around, even if you don't buy tickets to go inside. Enjoy!

When I visited Mallorca, seeing the Catedral-Basílica de Santa María (La Seu) was non-negotiable, and I’m so glad I went. It is one of the most stunning Gothic buildings I have ever seen. What really blew me away was its dramatic location—it sits right on the edge of the old city walls overlooking the sea, and the sheer scale of the architecture is breathtaking from the moment you approach it. I spent a long time just admiring the exterior. Inside, it was all about the light. The most famous feature is the enormous rose window, often called "The Gothic Eye." If you can time your visit right, the way the light streams through the glass and illuminates the massive, airy interior is just magical. I was also really interested to see the modernist input by Antoni Gaudí near the altar—it adds a fascinating, unexpected touch to the medieval space. Honestly, if you are in Palma, you absolutely have to schedule time for this. It’s not just a beautiful church; it’s a powerful piece of art and history that truly defines the city skyline.

We entered here with no expectations but the building definitely implies something spectacular inside. It does not disappoint. It is very busy inside but there is peace and tranquility to be found. You can have a quiet moment of reflection and find out so much fascinating history.

A must-visit in Palma — the £10 (approx. €10) entry fee is genuinely worth it. The Cathedral of Mallorca delivers everything you hope for: breathtaking architecture, rich history, and a serene atmosphere that makes it much more than just another tourist stop. From the moment you step in, the grandeur of the Gothic nave and the soaring stained glass windows grab your attention. Even on the standard ticket (which you noted is the cheapest option), you’re able to take in the key highlights — no hidden upsell required to appreciate the core experience. The cost-to-value ratio is excellent. The staff were courteous and helpful, and the location in Palma de Mallorca is hard to beat. If you’re in the area, set aside at least an hour. Bring your camera, perhaps a bit of quiet reflection time, and enjoy one of the most emblematic buildings in the Mediterranean. Highly recommended — excellent value, well preserved and beautifully presented.

It’s our first time in Mallorca, and we immediately visited the Cathedral of Santa Maria, which is very close to our accommodation. The place is beautiful and offers a truly special experience. There are always many tourists around, but that only shows how popular and worthwhile this location is. The cathedral itself is impressive, monumental, and wonderfully preserved. The view from it is even more stunning – you can see the entire marina with boats and large cruise ships, creating an incredible panorama and perfect photo opportunities. Overall, a definite recommendation for anyone visiting Mallorca. One of the places you simply shouldn’t miss!

Beside being a very important religious place, It is a great piece of architecture. It took 400 years to complete it. The famous architect Antoni Gaudi also contributes a lot. This beautiful Roman Catholic Church is located in the heart of Mallorca opposite seashore. it is the most visited place in Mallorca. The interior of Cathedral is amazing. The beautiful sculptures and stained colorful glass windows are worth seeing. The ambiance inside is very serene. The entry fee is 9 Euros. Not to be missed...

Buying ticket on plac is possible, but the lady on the desk is rude. You can spare this emotion. The cathedral is amazing. For 10 EUR I would expect an audio-gyide as it was in Valencia cathedral for example. The explanations are here and there, there are a lot of figures and chapels without any information. It is worth visiting, but I expected more information.

Absolutely amazing castle. Great museums in multiple languages. It's a step walk up there and lots of climbing. But well worth it. An historic monument that Palma can be very proud of. Normally only 4 euro entrance fee (bargain), but free on Sunday (even better bargain!!). Absolutely recommended.

Castell de Bellver, whose name literally translates to 'beautiful view' in old Catalan, is an absolute must-see when visiting Palma. Its unique circular Gothic design—the only one of its kind in Spain—sets it apart immediately. Perched on a forested hill about three kilometers west of the city center, the castle offers a stunning 360-degree panorama of the entire Bay of Palma, the city's harbor, and the distant Tramuntana mountains. The main draw is walking the rooftop battlements, where you can fully appreciate the scale of the structure and the vistas. Inside, the central circular courtyard is a masterpiece of medieval architecture, and the ground floor houses the City History Museum. Beyond its royal history, the castle served as a military prison for centuries, adding a layer of dramatic history. While getting up the hill requires a little effort (or a bus ride), the payoff in views and historical significance makes it well worth the trip.

Castell de Bellver – A Panoramic Gem Above Palma We visited Castell de Bellver as part of our 48-hour City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus tour, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our Palma itinerary. The bus dropped us right near the entrance, making access effortless and scenic—winding through pine-covered hills with glimpses of the sea. The castle itself is a rare circular fortress with Gothic architecture and a commanding view over the Bay of Palma. Its unique design and elevated position make it feel like a watchtower over centuries of history. Inside, the museum offers a compact but rich narrative of Palma’s past, and the central courtyard is a peaceful spot to pause and soak in the atmosphere. What truly stood out was the panoramic terrace—360° views that stretch from the Tramuntana mountains to the cathedral and port. It’s a photographer’s dream and a moment of quiet majesty above the bustle below. Entry was included with our bus ticket, which made the experience feel even more seamless and well-integrated. If you’re doing the hop-on hop-off tour, this stop is absolutely worth it—both for the history and the views.

For €4 it is great value. This is a truly memorable visit. Situated atop a wooded hill just outside Palma, the Castell de Bellver offers sweeping panoramic views of the city, the bay and the Mediterranean—a fitting interpretation of its name, which translates as “beautiful view”. The castle itself is remarkable. Built around 1300–1310 for King James II of Mallorca, it stands as one of the few circular-plan castles in Europe and certainly the only one of its kind in Spain. Wandering the interior courtyard, ramparts and the keep you can really sense its mix of royal residence and fortress. Inside you’ll also find a well-curated city history museum, providing insights into Palma’s evolution from ancient times to the present day. The forest around the castle adds a relaxing walk-up through pine trees, making arrival feel more like an experience rather than just a stop. A few practical notes: Be prepared for some uphill walking if you approach on foot or via public transport. Visit during late afternoon if possible—the golden light enhances the castle’s stonework and the views-out become especially atmospheric. Allow enough time to explore both the exterior terrace and the museum inside. Check opening hours in advance (note: Mondays may be closed) and consider a guided tour to appreciate the architecture and history more fully.

As castles go I'd say this is generally a nice castle. 4 stars for 2 reasons....1) we couldn't access the tallest tower and nobody mentioned that. Just imagine the views... 2) I'd have loved to understand more about the castle but all the info boards were in spanish only (yes I know, its in Mallorca but its a tourist destination....help the tourists out!)....yes, technology allows translation easy enough but its the inconvenience. Anyway, the castle is set within a large park area full of trails, roads and lots of steps. I probably would not recommend tackling this place if you aren't too steady on your feet or have a wheelchair. We entered from the East side nearest the church. The steps up to the castle got the heart rate up for sure. We noticed lots of joggers using the park and bounding up the steps. We also noticed lots of tourists with tight tops looking a bit sweaty....loose clothing recommended. See pics for some idea of the mountainous ascent. Anyway, there's lots to see in the castle. Mostly statues. There was a wedding taking place when we were there. What a lovely setting indeed. One of the best part of visiting this castle was the incredible circular, almost Colosseum like central structure but beyond that the views. Simply stunning in all directions. Go on a clear day! Aside from that I wish we'd had more time to explore the grounds around the castle. Overall if you fancy taking a break away from the busy centre of Palma, then take a bus or taxi ( it takes no time from the centre) and enjoy taking in some breathtaking views and a wonderful piece of history.

Ate too much on this trip? Take a walk from the city center & climb up the endless stairs. You will find a treasure you did not know you were looking for. The only annoying thing is, once you arrive after that many stairs, they ask you to walk another a couple hundred meters to get a ticket. While walking over, cursing “ it better be worth it” , and it is. There is a museum, excellent views, not too many people unlike the Catedral, the ticket is only 4 euros. Now you feel better and thinking, you accomplished something today, and you did in a way ❤️

Marvelous castle settle on top of a hill with wonderful views of the city, the harbour and the sea. There's a parking place just in front of the entrance. Inside the castle there's a museum with the history of the castle , from the first human settlements till the last use like a jail in the past century. Very well preserved, so clean all around. A place to visit for it's importance in the history and because the surrounding views

Great place to visit in Magaluf. Kids really enjoyed it. There was not enough time to enjoy it though.. mostly because of an extra long 'free' coach transfer. Prob best making your own way there. 4D cinema experience was really good. Kids loved soft play and splash zone. We all enjoyed the crazy golf. Ditched the coach home and got a taxi, this also gave us time in Magaluf!!

Honestly, the place is okay but it’s worn out. Everything seems old, dated. Is it good fun? Yeah it is but it’s far from anything special. The photos looks amazingly vibrant and exciting but in reality all the plastics are faded from age. The house, the signature attraction is okay but very quick and not overly complicated. The soft play is good, but again nothing special and the splash park is more aimed at younger children. The rides are okay but again, nothing special. All that said, it’s worth doing, once. You never know, you might even pick up a northern accent if you stay long enough…,

I must say, the staff at the park made all the difference to my visit to the park, as a content creator, the staff made my visit to the park that extra special, because of the weather (as it was raining) the staff let us do extra rides of each attraction which was really epic, they didn’t need to do it, but the staff went above and beyond. I highly recommend visiting. My favourite attraction has to be the XD Theatre 6D, that was literally so cool especially the staff member didn’t tell what film They were showing, they made it a surprise! My advice is for a better ticket price, stay in one of Meliá hotels such as the Sol house and the innside properties and you get a great discount for entry prices. I highly recommend this place!

good experience but they charge a bit much. it's great for children, for adults it's not super fun. mini golf was cool, 2 Parcours in different difficulties. the landscape they built was really good. The House was super interesting and interactive. they have a lot of 4d shows. staff was really nice.

Lots of different activities to do, test your abilities with ice cold water, music skills, balance, speed. Thats the main house. There's also 3 arcade shooting games, test your aim. Expedition golf has 2 seperate courses of 18 Fire or Ice. Also Steamboat Laser Challenge, test your ability with your friends...get from 1 end of the course to the other and back as quick as you can without touching the lasers.

Ad hoc visit today, we chose just to do the house and golf. House was a lot of fun! Really different and fun, kids and adults had fun. Golf course was great, we only managed 9 holes as it was just so hot and very busy but full of kids having fun so can't complain. We didn't do the water park but saw it, probably better for under 7s I would say but a good selection of slides and splash park. There is a cafe/bar onside too.

Had a great day here. Elisa was especially helpful with the crazy golf. Only downside was that no one supervises people going into the dark 3d rooms so the seating is a free for all. People wouldn't move when I asked so my oldest son sat on his own. Because it was dark and noisy I couldn't hear him crying because he was scared and wanted me. If we had been sat together this wouldn't have been an issue.

Castell de Cullera is a great place to visit, both for its history and for the amazing views of the city and the sea. Driving up, you’ll already find some nice spots to stop for photos, and at the top you get a full 360° panoramic view. Parking is limited, so it can take some time to find a spot. There are public restrooms available for free, which is very convenient. Once you park, you’ll see the option to take a small elevator for €1. Honestly, unless you have accessibility needs, it’s not worth it—the elevator only covers a very short section of stairs, which you can walk in 3–4 minutes without any problem. Even if you don’t go inside the castle or arrive after closing time, it’s still worth going up for the views and to enjoy the surroundings. The walk and scenery make it a very rewarding stop in Cullera.

Amazing views of the local city and landscape, the castle is only small but very beautiful and well worth a visit to learn about its history and to take in its architecture. It’s very impressive at the building work to get it there and how formidable it would have been in its day. If you like history, views and architecture then you should absolutely go and visit Parking was fine and there were public WC. Unfortunately the church which is attached was not open on the day we went (Monday) so didn’t get to see inside which is a shame, the cafe also was not open. There is a weird tiny funicular rail which cost €1 PP you definitely don’t need it but the kids enjoyed it

Lovely place with an exceptional view and a good bit of history. Towering above the town of Cullera, this little castle provides incredible views of the area. It's not very big as it used to be a military fort rather than a typical castle. There's also a nearby hiking trail going around the mountain. While there is some information in English, the inside of the castle itself gives information almost exclusively in Valencian and Spanish, though for those interested it's relatively easy to just translate it.

We were able to grab the last parking space at the top of the hill and luckily there was a mini funicular to take Deb the final distance to the castle entrance. Admission was €3 but it is a small castle so we probably spent less than 30 minutes inside, including watching the 12 minute information film (English subtitles). The interior was unadorned and the battlements were small but with nice views of the coast and the rice fields. We had an ice cream and a coffee at the cafe terrace and then I walked down the steps to view the castle from below and then down a small path to view the octagonal tower and segments of the town wall, built during the Islamic period. The castle itself has an Islamic base and was then updated and expanded after the Christian reconquest in the 13th century. It's next expansion was in the 16th century after Muslim pirates sacked the town and carried the population off into slavery.

Nice place, quiet in october. Easy to park a car, very good view to the coastline.

I only explored the castle from the outside, but even from there, the views over Cullera were absolutely breathtaking. The landscape alone makes the visit worthwhile.

Gorgeous panoramic views from the top, overlooking the town of Cullera and the bay. Sadly it was closed by the time we got there, but we were still able to walk the grounds, which is a lovely walk with some hiking areas if desired. Beautiful grounds with great views and worth the small walk around to see the different viewpoints. Wish we could have seen the beauty and history inside, but still a 5 star experience just from the outside!

Absolutely serene place of worship popular with tourists and locals alike and very well attended beautiful historic building.

This is a most beautiful building. It is located behind the cathedral in a lovely square and it’s beautiful exterior and blue tiled dome are simple, elegant, and deceptive. As you walk through the doors into the basilica, you are overwhelmed by the beautiful frescoes and rich decoration of this Basilica. The oval is painted with the most glorious frescoes. It is worth sitting down and contemplating the complexity and beauty. The altar is also a masterful piece of artistry with beautiful carvings and wonderful architecture. A wonderful building and a must to visit if you are in Valencia.

One of the small yet beautiful churches to visit. We did a guided tour in the old city and they told us the story of this church and its significance to the Valencian people. You have to respect the opening hours as there are prayers during the day. This is a photo of the basilica with the cathedral and the plaza de Reina. Worth visiting!

Very well made on the outside, the inside is something else... something that one has to see with his own eyes to feel every detail and the work which is put into making all of the interior A must see in Valencia

An exquisitely decorated basílica dedicated to Mary as a protector and helper of the helpless. You will be moved by the devotion of the attendants to the mass.

Gorgeous holy paintings on the ceilings! This is probably my most favourite place in Valencia, since it’s free entry but also the inside is so precious. There are seats inside so if you’d like to sit or pray, there is space for everyone.

This is a very beautiful church in Valencia. It has a modest exterior but the interior is breathtaking. The ceiling is a marvelous sight.

It was worth the wait for the last boat trip at 5.15pm in El Palmar. It was €6 and lasting for an hour. The boat stopped in the middle of the lagoon for passengers to view the sunset. Do wear a jumper. The problem was everything was closed incl restaurants and toilets when the boat trip ended. I had to hang around in the cold for 45 mins for the bus going back to Valencia. Otherwise, the experience was fantastic.

The boat ride is a MUST. We booked our tickets in advance for the sunset ride. Since it was cloudy, we couldn’t see a perfect sunset but the boat ride was worth. It was an hour ride in total. You can feel the stillness and calm when they stop the boat in the middle of the lake.

I'm not sure we actually were in the park bit we did visit El Palmar twice. The paella here is dramatically better than most places in central Valencia. If you like boats the boat rides are inexpensive and 40 to 60 minutes. The town itself is not interesting at all.

Day out to relax and enjoy the nature. Take a half an hour trip on a boat around the lake (€4) and enjoy fantastic paella in one of the local tiny restaurants. I couldn't spot any public toilets around, but if you stop for a quick beer here and there, you can use the restaurant facilities

We got a tour bus out which included a boat ride and lunch. The boat ride was only 30 minutes max so we then had another 3.5 hours hanging around the town. The park itself is more of a nature reserve. We only saw a few ducks. Not worth the trip out in my opinion.

Highly recommend the boat trip from El Tio Pastella. 20 euros for the whole family for about an hour. Great way to see the Albufera.

A beautiful quiet lake with lots of sea birds, herons, ducks etc. You can hire a boat for a short trip around the lake. 4 Euros per person. Recommended.

Amazing place. Definitely recommend to visit with children before 10-12 years. Beatiful shows. You can do pictures together with sea lion, dolphin, parrot, lemur. The park has beautiful territory and zoo. There are few restaurants on the park.

What a special place. So much fun! Negatives, its a little pricey, and they dont have a vast amount of animals. The pros, wow, the shows are phenomenal, especially the dolphin show. Amazing, just amazing. Yes its pricey, but honestly the shows itself make it worth it! Get over there. €20 cash or €17 (paid online) to touch a dolphin and have a photo (included) is such amazing value. You wont find better. So while its not a cheap day out, it's 100% worth it, and id go back again, and again.

Nice animal Park got discounted tickets so went with family. The dolphin and sea lion show were amazing definitely recommend going and seeing them. At the top. Is a great view of aqualandia which is right next door. Overall a good place to visit with family.

Pretty cool. We did combine tickets with Aqualandia. So we visited this place in the morning. We arrived about half past 10 which gave us time to look around and the watch the parrot show. Which was very informative. 2 of the parrots did not listen to the trainers and decided they were staying out just jumping on the rope. After that we headed to the sea lion show to watch some very happy sea lions and then the dolphin show, which has 8 dolphins doing tricks. The place is small so wouldn't recommend spending the whole day there as you can watch all the shows and see all the other animals in around 3 hours. Prices for photos with animals is around €20 euros I recommended paying for these before you enter the park.

In my opinion, Mundomar a bit too pricey, compared to Oceanografic in Valencia. However, dolphins did an amazing job performing, the instructors are great. Stunning view from the top! I liked it

It was a good day plenty to see and great shows.But don't bother with getting the VIP TOUR as you are unable to take Photos as they block you and say only me.The photographer was a bit rude and right in my face as I attempted to get a photo.

A great day was had by the whole family. The animals were amazing, well worth going to the shows, birds, sealion, and dolphin. There are other experiences which we didn't do this time. We purchased the combo ticket for mundomar and aqualandia, which was a good saving.

A brilliant day out for the whole family. We have two boys aged 6 and 7 and they both had an amazing time. We brought our own packed lunch after reading other reviews as the food in the park didn’t seem like the best option, and this turned out to be a smart decision as there are plenty of picnic areas available. We booked our tickets online which cost £109 for the four of us. On arrival, we rented a large locker for €10 (smaller ones are €7). They give you a PIN code printed on a receipt which is a bit odd, as it means you have to go into the water with a piece of paper to remember your code. It would make more sense if you could set your own code. We also paid for two sunbeds at €7 each and the inflatable ring floats came at an extra cost too. This felt like a bit of a rip off, as items like floats and sunbeds should really be included in the ticket price. This is the main reason we’ve given 4 stars instead of 5. That said, the park itself is spotless and very well maintained. The lifeguards, although quite young, did a fantastic job and we felt very safe letting the boys explore nearby. The children’s area is the best I’ve seen in any water park as it has a full section with obstacle courses, smaller slides and jumping platforms. We would definitely visit again for another family day out.

Great day out with the Grand kids here. Take your own drinks and food as the kiosk prices inside are a little hard on the wallet (€3.75) for a 1.5 ltr water that you can pick up for about 60 cents in the supermarket. €5.40 for a beer 🍺. Apart from that, it's a lovely park that kept the boys busy all day.

We visited on a Friday in August so was very busy as expected. However we found the park to be clean, well organised and we all had great fun, dragging the kids away after about 7 hours. Queues for some slides were 15-20 mins but plenty of shade and well mannered. Didn’t attempt to get a sun bed or picnic bench (which looked like you needed to be there early to get) - just sat on a towel on the grass which was fine. Lifeguards very professional and kept good order.

It was too crowded for me, even though we visited on a Wednesday. However, the kids had a lot of fun, which is the most important thing! We will come back! Food was available at affordable prices. What surprised me was that the lockers and lounges required payment.

Aqualandia in Benidorm is a great place and an absolute hit with kids—plenty of rides, pools, and attractions to keep the whole family entertained. The park is clean and well maintained, and overall it’s a fun experience for both children and adults. That said, the downside in high season is the waiting times. Some rides had queues of up to 90 minutes, which meant that even though we spent the whole day there, we couldn’t try everything we wanted. On-site food is also very expensive—for example, a gofre with just one scoop of ice cream was over €7. Security lockers cost €7, and hiring a large inflatable wheel is €8 plus a €2 deposit (though this does give you an advantage on Rapidos, where you can skip the queue). Overall, it’s still a great experience and the kids loved it, but the long waiting times and high prices take away from what could otherwise be a perfect day out.

Visited on: Friday, 29th August 2025 Such a great waterpark! The Rapids are especially good! I highly recommend. The “Black Hole” too is fun. ⚠️ SENSORY NEEDS: This ride is dark and may not be suitable for those with SN. For Food, I recommended the Snack Bar - see my other review for additional, and full details.

The place is big and theres plenty of rides and pools ! Very chill vibes although the food can always be better. Still a great time !

Levante beach was simply beautiful. It is well maintained, clean and safe. Sunbeds can be rented for only 6 euro for the day. Excellent place to relax.

Lovely beach but very busy. Chairs and umbrellas €6 each, you just sit down and someone comes round to pay. Close to shops you have people walking up and down selling cocktails and offering massages. A place with taps to wash the sand off your feet. A warning women do walk around and lounge top less if this offends anyone.

A great beach. However, it is rather populated with many tourists and locals making it rather busy. You can hire a sun-bed at only €12 overlooking the Mediterranean, turquoise, yet quite transparent sea. 🌊

I visited Platja de Llevant in Benidorm at the end of December, and the weather was surprisingly warm, not hot enough for a swim, but perfect to enjoy the sun and a long walk by the sea. The sky was clear, the water shimmered in deep blue tones, and the whole promenade was lively even in winter. Historically, Platja de Llevant has been one of the main symbols of Benidorm’s transformation. In the 1950s, this small fishing village began turning into one of Europe’s most famous seaside resorts, and this beach became the heart of that change, lined with hotels, cafés, and palm trees that still define the skyline today.

The beach is absolutely stunning, with its picturesque scenery that instantly captivates anyone who visits. The golden sand is soft and inviting, creating a perfect contrast against the deep blue sky. The ocean itself is crystal clear, reflecting the sunlight in shimmering patterns that dance across the water. The waves are gentle and soothing, making the beach a tranquil spot to relax and enjoy nature’s beauty. One of the highlights of this beach is the remarkably clean water. It’s so clear that you can see the seabed even from the shore, with fish occasionally visible as they swim by. The cleanliness of the water makes it perfect for swimming, wading, or just floating on the surface, letting the gentle waves carry you. In addition to the natural beauty, the beach offers convenient amenities like chair and sun umbrella rentals. This allows you to fully enjoy your time there without having to bring your own gear. You can easily rent a comfortable chair and a large umbrella to provide shade, making your day at the beach even more relaxing. Overall, the combination of breathtaking beauty and thoughtful conveniences makes this beach a perfect getaway.

Great Beach Fantastic beach very famous worldwide, the view on the buildings is incredible. Not the beach has all the expected amenities & lots of shops, cafes & restaurants around. The water is also really nice and this is what made this beach so fabulous.

My Days in Benidorm 🥰 🌸❣️ It was August, and Benidorm welcomed us with 41-degree weather 🥵. What wonderful days we had at the beach, strolling through its streets, trying out restaurants, watching the sunrise, or walking at night while enjoying the nightlife. We’d wake up early to enjoy the sea and walk along the sand. Each day was unique and amazing! Creating human connections, observing and learning about their lifestyle and culture made the experience even more enriching.

Old Town benidorm is a absolute gem , loads of shops bars and cafes it's more cultured than new benidorm and old town is more traditional, its definitely worth exploring plus there are two beaches a small cove beach and the large beach and the harbour

(Translated by Google) Good place to go on vacation. 5 minutes walk from the western and eastern beaches. The party area is very close too. It is also surrounded by central streets with a multitude of shops, bars, restaurants... (Original) Buen sitio para ir de vacaciones. A 5 minutos andando de las playas de poniente y de levante. La zona de fiesta muy cerca también. Además está rodeado de calles céntricas con multitud de tiendas ,bares, restaurantes...

Absolutely brilliant place to spend a couple of hours. It's free to access but if you want to use the lift it cost €2.70 (can only pay by card). A few refreshment areas within the castle selling drinks and ice cream. Well worth a visit!

You have the option to go up the castle via the side walk (not very hard but neither easy) or take the lift (you need a ticket). If you go up via the park you can go down without the need to buying a ticket - pretty convenient. The lift is the best option for a hot or rainy day, or with limited mobility.

When visiting Alicante, it is essential to set aside half a day to explore this castle, and all its history, which is rich and varied. You will have the opportunity for an incredibly beautiful view of the city and the sea. We recommend from the bottom of our hearts.

When I visited Alicante, I’m so glad I took the time to explore this castle, it was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. The history is so rich and interesting, and walking through the different areas really makes you feel connected to the past. The views from the top are absolutely stunning; seeing the whole city and the sea from up there felt amazing. I truly recommend setting aside at least half a day for it. From my heart, this is a place you don’t want to miss.

The elevator up to Castille de Santa Barbara is access from the beach side. Cross the road towards the castle and you will see the entrance. The cost of the elevator is only a few euros per person well worth the spend. Take the elevator up, then do yourself a favor, and walk down through the tiny Pueblo (village) Barrio de Santa Cruz.

Fantastic views across the city of Alicante. Get there just before sunset to watch it setting in the West. We visited for a Wine tasting session in the evening, very popular so need to book well in advance.

The view is nice. There’s an elevator from the beach side — the ride costs €2.70.

Super nice island to spend the day, it definitely gets very packed in the main bay. It’s nice to have a stroll around and they have a few stores. I would not recommend using the bathrooms there though not clean at all.

Beautiful island, nice few hours spent on there. Few little shops and food places. Walked around the island. Only need a few hours there, but well worth it. Stunning views

Nice place to visit. On my perspective, not to stay overnight unless you have special activities to engage - the tourist tour can be covered in one day. No sandy beaches, round stone mainly. However, the water is clean, warm, and transparent. Bar / Restaurant offer is OK. Prices seemed a bit high. A small but nice art gallery may grab the visitor's attention.

A great day out, very clear and warm waters with a variety of swimming spots, great for snorkeling. Stayed on the main beach and felt safe leaving our bags (with non-valuable items), after seeing others do the same, while we explored the different swimming spots on the island

Visiting Tabarca Island felt like finding a secret Mediterranean world. Only a few dozen residents live here, yet the seafood restaurants are incredible — fresh fish grilled by the sea, chilled white wine, and calm ocean breeze. It’s peaceful, photogenic, and perfect for anyone who wants real island life without the crowds. I’d come back just for the food and silence. 🌊✨

Such a beautiful island near our house. We rode a big boat from Santa Pola that costs us 10€ back and forth. There's a line of ticket booths in the port. They will give you a brochure to show the boat return times. It was a nice 25-minute ride. It can be super hot so don't forget to bring sun creams, hats and umbrella. We went around the island to see spots with few people because the main beach is packed. We ate at a nice restaurant with menu starting €18. Though we end up paying more than €100 for 4 persons. Costly like other islands. We didn't have a reservation but I suggest to have one as it can be full especially on weekends. There are small bars and restaurants and few stores for clothes and souvenirs. There's also an atm near the La Pecera. Also bring aqua shoes. Some beaches have stones and slippery. We will definitely go back.

Nice little island plenty of historical bits

This was auch a beautiful garden,well kept and presented. It offered shade from the sun and the running water and pools are a haven for wildlife. There are also peacocks wannsering around the gardenns too!!

Beautifully kept, tranquil not at all busy, the peacocks were a lovely surprise with a very reasonably priced entrance fee

The hotel was chosen for its close proximity to the Teatro and the rooms set amidst a beautiful garden. We booked a Junior Suite which was a lovely stroll amongst the greenery. Extremely clean big bedroom with big bed, big tv and a big spa bath in the big bathroom. All staff were happy and helpful and cheerful. Breakfast was very good. Plenty for 4 courses if you're that way inclined! We didn't use the restaurant as we ate out but the bar and bar staff were good too. Excellent (yes) 'big' pool area adorned with lovely twinkling lights for the evening.

What a beautiful botanic garden set in the middle of Elche. All the specimen plants and trees were very well labelled. Admission is about 5 euros with a slight discount for pensioners. The only negative is the availability of parking resulting in circling the narrow streets of Elche several times. There is a large underground parking about 300 mtrs away but there is a hotel with the same name much closer that would b much closer

Tranquil, picturesque place with lots of palms from around the world, quite a variety of cacti, peacocks walking around, water features. All creates an atmosphere of joy, peace and tranquility. We love feeding peacocks as there is a special food available to buy next to the exit.

Beautiful park full of palm trees — a lovely place to visit if you’re in Elche. Peaceful, green, and perfect for a relaxing walk. 🌴

Beautifull park. Smaller that I expected but really well maintained.

These open and free beaches inspired me while writing Waking Up – A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity — a future where freedom and access belong to everyone.

Nice, huge beach. Big disappointment that you have to take own sunbeds and sunbrellas.

I personally didnt have a nice experience there. When we went there were a lot of seaweed washed up on shore and I could not enjoy the beach as much as I wanted. I might reconsider my opinion if I visit on another day, however it was a nightmare to step on the seaweed. It is a fine sandy beach, but it is overcrowded. I would not recommend it to people who dislike crowds. There are toilets and also foot washing devices.

Very nice beach lovely family place and clean.

Really enjoyed La Mata. We visited on a Wednesday and the market was on. It was huge. Struggled to get parked but once we did we stayed & had a fabulous day. Will definitely return.

My favourite beach in the region so far with little algae and lots of sand, it’s pleasant to swim there. But it is crowded in the summer and very difficult to park there even though it’s free

Pros: Good beach - long and wide. Clean, sandy. There is a nice park neighbouring the beach. A lot of cafe and restaurants close to the beach. Cons: No showers at all (( Not enough toilets and dressing rooms. Comparably crowded even in the end of May! I can't imagine what will be in the high season (July).

Zenia Boulevard is a fantastic shopping experience! The mall has a great mix of shops for every taste, from fashion and homeware to electronics and gifts. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the outdoor design makes it a pleasure to stroll around. The food court is excellent too, with plenty of choices to suit everyone – from quick bites to sit-down meals. A perfect place to shop, eat, and enjoy a great day out!

Fantastic shopping center lot's to do restaurants tenpin bowling 🎳 me and my lad's had a great time

Nice shopping area that have many brand stores and much else. A plus for the very nice toilets but a minus for the restaurants (a bit pricey for what you get). Of course this is friendly to wheelchairs. There are also playgrounds for kids, they seem to love the water fountain.

Call out to all UK shopping centers. Visit this place to see how a shopping centre should be run. It's spotlessly clean, shops are full and not boarded up, free parking and it's packed full of shoppers. It's a great place to shop for clothes or food. Plenty of cafes and ice cream parlours, places for kids to play. Open until late in the evening for convenience after work. I've not heard a bad thing said about Zenia Shopping Centre.

Great shopping centre, mostly open air and with a vast choice of shops to choose from. Plenty of parking and they offer events and other activities all summer and at important holidays. Also huge food court with lots of buffet options too

Very good shopping centre! Plenty of variety and plenty of eating places around the top aswell! Views from the top are lovely!

a good time to spend leisure time and buy things necessary for everyday life, also a large grocery store, where you can buy many different products. A large selection of clothes from the budget option to the expensive. A large selection of shoe stores. Many good cafes and restaurants. Having arrived here you can spend whole days :)

Awesome place to visit. Clear water beach, not crowded, parking is a bit tough though. Great for kayaking and snorkeling too.

We did the tour so we could go all the way up in the light house. It's a 6 Euro admission p.p and takes approximately 30-40 minutes. The stairs are very narrow so you go up in single file. The tour guide speaks about the history of the light house and you get a good sense of when and how it was build. The tour is in Spanish so if you want to follow you need some basic knowledge of the Spanish language. The 360 view is stunning and you can see all round. All together a nice piece of history from the region.

Our guide Emma was great. She gave us a lot of interesting information about the lighthouse, the surrounding area, and local history. Her commentary was in spanish and English. She would answer any questions and give extra information. The lighthouse itself was easily worth the €6. The views from the top were lovely. 30 minutes long and only 10 guests was perfect.

Very nice place. Very nice beaches and places to dive and snorkel is amazing close to the Faro. Videos YouTube: Norwegian Viking in Spain.⛵️

Stunning views.... And the lighthouse in amazing condition.... Sadly you don't just go for a walk around But still worth a visit

Nice lighthouse on the top of the hill. Beneath it small lagune. Unfortunately it's no access to the lighthouse itself, it would be nice to climb on the top. The view from nearby is amazing, Mediterranean sea in it's beauty is enormously beautiful. Also nice view to Mar Menor. Free parking. No charge for entering the area.

One of the great sites of Spain let alone Murcia. Plus the restaurants and beaches of Cabo de Palos are next door.

Very nice and quite beaches, where swimwear is optional. Nature meets nature, so not for people who fear others enjoying their freedom to experience this nature.

Beautiful, quiet beach in a nature reserve. We really enjoyed our time here. The beach is clean and peaceful, with fish, crabs, and even turtles. Access is time-restricted, and there’s no cell service, which makes it a perfect place to disconnect. Parking is available, and lifeguards are on duty. No restrooms or showers, but in summer there’s usually a portable toilet on-site. Definitely worth a visit for a change of scenery!

The beach itself is rather nice and fairly few people their. I wouldn't give the sand beach 5 stars however, but the cliffs to the right of the beach was amazing! By walking 5 minutes or so we found at least 3 great spots where we could lie down on fairly smooth surface as well as being able to jump or walk into the clear blue water. No other people in sight. Went there two days in a row and will definitely return when I'm in the area in the future! The only downside is that you need to park your car 10 minutes drive from the beach, pay 3€ per person and take a bus (which leaves every 30 minutes) to get to the beach. All in all: for couples who'd like some privacy - find great cliffs to the right of the beach. For families (or others) who'd like a beach with fewer people - just pick a spot on the main beach.

Excellent natural beach with easy access - depending on the time of the year, it can be accessed by a shuttle or by driving directly (in the off-season). The beach is well-maintained and there are bathroom facilities not too far away. The whole area is beautiful, with a backdrop of towering hills and sand dunes. There is also a protected natural environment nearby, which is awesome for nature lovers. Easily the best beach I've been to.

The trip was totally worth it! I went with a friend that is a local so we had the pass to get directly into the parking area. Virgin beach with golden sand and limpid water, it was a great day!

beautiful beach with crystal clear waters, sand without stones, ideal for children. The access is simple, it has parking. Very recommended

Beautiful and windy!

An impressive place that proves luxury and indulgence are nothing new—they have existed at the highest level for centuries. A wonderful experience, especially considering the very reasonable entrance fee.

Impressively pretty inside, with nice flow to go between the rooms and adequate description in brochure. Good entrance fee. Quite compact, you can visit it all in ~45 minutes.

The 19th century Real Casino de Murcia in Murcia, Spain, is a private social club where the local elite could meet. It's still used for that purpose but tourists are also admitted for a fee. Entry to the Moorish Patio is through an Islamic-style horseshoe arch. The design of the Moorish Patio itself was inspired by the Alhambra in nearby Granada. Leaves of pure gold were used by the decorators. The ballroom features gold-coated bronze chandeliers decorated with Baccarat crystal made in Paris in 1886.

We had a long weekend in Murcia. The Old Town in Murcia City is the most wonderful place with so much to see, including the Real Madrid Club, ( nothing to do with football). It is an eclectic collection of the most wonderful, opulent rooms, and is a MUST visit if in Murcia City

Wow 😯 absolutely stunning building with beautifully decorated rooms and decor. The Arab entrance alone has 20,000 individual gold leafs adorning the walls. The ballroom is stunning as well as the English influenced library and Billiard rooms. A must see attraction for only 5 euros ( 3 if you are a retiree)

Just steps from the Cathedral, on the famous Calle Trapería, you can admire the splendid Royal Casino of Murcia. Its extraordinary beauty and elegant interiors earned it the title of National Historic Monument in 1983. Built in 1847 as a luxurious entertainment venue for the city's wealthy elite, it continues to serve this purpose today as a private club with highly select members. After extensive renovations, the casino became "Royal" in 2009, at the behest of King Juan Carlos I. The casino is open to the public, who, with an admission ticket, can access some of the sumptuous interior rooms, immersing themselves in the glittering past of the city's wealthy elite. Aesthetically, the entire building features an unusual combination of different styles from various eras, making it a unique monument. The sumptuous facade, designed by architect Pedro Cerdán Martínez, features classical and modernist decorations, resulting in a highly eclectic result. The entrance to the casino is the most fascinating space, a true Arab patio inspired by the most refined Moorish palaces, such as the Alhambra in Granada and the Alcazar in Seville. Other rooms worth visiting are: the English Library, entirely made of wood; the luxurious Ladies' Hall, with a splendid painted ceiling and gilded oval mirrors; the Pompeian Patio, decorated with classical columns and statues; the Ballroom, built between 1870 and 1875 in neo-Baroque style and adorned with gigantic chandeliers. In addition to visiting the casino's rooms, you can also visit the restaurant and bar and attend exhibitions, displays, and cultural events. Ticket 5€ per person.

If you are in Murcia... This is a must! Only €5 entry is so good for what you see. Instagram pics worthy.

Murcia centro & cathedral are definitely worth visiting! Beautiful architecture and plenty of bars and restaurants to sit and watch the world go by. (Loves people watching) 👀 🤣

We loved our visit to the Catedral de Murcia! ⛪️ The architecture is absolutely breathtaking, with its mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque details—you can spend ages just admiring the façade and intricate doors. The plaza in front is vibrant and welcoming, filled with cafés and terraces where we enjoyed a hearty brunch while soaking up the atmosphere. ☕🥐 It was such a nice stopover in Murcia—easy to wander, beautiful to photograph, and full of charm. The cathedral itself is impressive inside and out, and the surrounding square feels like the heartbeat of the city. 🌞 If you’re traveling through Murcia, don’t miss this gem—it perfectly combines history, culture, and a relaxed Spanish vibe. Highly recommended for anyone passing by! 🌟

Beautiful cathedral with a fascinating mix of architectural styles visible from the outside. The details and decorations are absolutely breathtaking, and it really makes you appreciate these kinds of buildings that simply aren’t built anymore. Entrance is €5 for the cathedral alone or €7 if you want to visit both the cathedral and the museum. The downside is that in the museum almost all descriptions are only in Spanish, with just a few objects explained in English. For most of the exhibition you’ll need to rely on Google Translate.

Beautiful cathedral and square with nice options for tapas. We were lucky to visit on Sunday morning to enjoy the services .

The main attraction in Murcia is this magnificent cathedral. The facade has many saints and the structure has many architectural designs. Definitely a must visit.

Beautiful architectural masterpiece. Other elements of the area organically complements the cathedral

Amazing to see the beauty of this building both inside and outside! Great point to navigate the city from!

5 stars – Fascinating and beautifully presented! The Museum of Underwater Archaeology in Cartagena is an absolute gem. The exhibits are not only rich in history, but also beautifully curated and easy to explore. We were especially impressed by the stories of ancient shipwrecks and the recovered artifacts – it’s like taking a journey through time beneath the sea. The museum is modern, well-organized, and great for both adults and kids. It’s a perfect stop if you’re interested in history, the sea, or just want to learn something new in a stunning location by the port. Highly recommended!

Quite interesting interactive exposition right in the puerto! With parking and other attractions definitely a must see! Sundays are free.

✨ Visit to the Archaeological Museum – Aqua, Cartagena As a couple, we had the chance to enjoy the impressive exhibition and the museum’s wonderful collection. Sole deserves a very special mention for her professionalism, kindness, and warmth. She made our visit truly memorable and enriching.

This is a magical and amazing place to visit with your family and children, allowing you to dive into the history of shipbuilding, when large sailing ships roamed the seas and fired cannons. It’s got a fantastic pirate atmosphere of long voyages.

Super museum! ⭐⭐⭐ I really liked the idea of ​​combining a visit to the museum with a quest. For children to look for superheroes in different locations and win prizes. The children are not bored and it was interesting for us to look at the exhibits. There are a lot of different eras and even interactive expositions where you can interact with different objects. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Took the opportunity to visit during the Museum Night weekend and was super impressed with the exhibits displayed. Though it was quite disappointing to see that not all stations were functioning i.e. interactive buttons does not respond (not sure whether it has been deactivated due to pandemic safety measures). Overall a great exposure to the underwater archeological history and would definitely recommend families to visit as means of educational purposes!

This marine archaeology museum in Cartagena is superb. Amazing artefacts from Phœnician , Roman, Byzantine, Moorish and Spanish wrecks, all incredibly well preserved and conserved. A set of Roman slingshot bullets looked like they were freshly cast, as were ingots of lead, tin and bronze. A big set of very large Roman anchor stocks were a great surprise as they were all well preserved lead castings too. A modern, stylish and very well presented museum. Level access throughout.

This is a wonderful attraction and the main reason we drove 1 hour to Cartegena. There is an informative exhibition you walk through giving historical information on Cartagena and the Romans. You eventually come out into the Theatre and have to say it looked amazing. This was big enough to seat 7000 people so can only imagine the atmosphere it would have had back in those times. The view from there would have been terrific as well. Two adults were €8 each and 2 students at €7 each. £22.72 for a family of 4 in total. It always amazes me how much cheaper it is to visit places in Europe compared to the United Kingdom. I'm guessing there may be heavier government funding contributing but museums like this are kept immaculate and everyone visiting is very respectful of their surroundings.

We sailed in on the Star Princess. Had a tour through Princess. Amazing museum and ancient ruins. We had the place to our tour group. A few folk were there before and after who were on their own. It is a very large place. When you go in to the museum make certain you look at the ancient founding double wall, built by the Phoenecians.

We visited while on a cruise excursion. We were in a small group, but 50 small groups ='s too many people in a very special place. It definitely a bucket list place to see though!

The Roman Theatre in Cartagena, an Incredible place with a rich history, is a true gem – remarkably well-preserved for its age, over 2,000 years old, it is impressive both in terms of atmosphere and scale. It's a must-see on the Cartagena map – perfect for history and architecture enthusiasts. Tickets aren't necessary just for spectacular photos; it's worth visiting in the evening when everything is beautifully illuminated. The view from the publicly accessible, upper section near Torres Park is excellent and for free.

Beautiful place! We planned to go inside, wouldn't mind paying but ended up from our carpark in the gardens on top of it and found out you can walk all around it with views of it all for free. So if you're not bothered for the museum inside, no need to pay to see the theatre. At the top there are gardens and more to see of a little castle. Whole Cartagena is worth the visit

Ancient amphitheatre and modern museum in Cartegena... a lovely place to spend a few hours taking in the sights and soaking up the history. The town itself has a great selection of shops, bars and restaurants, some of which are tucked down little side streets. All of this is a short walk from the beautiful marina.

I just can't understand how places like this get buried or built on top of. I dont understand past rulers or crusades. So much history here and so well preserved. One certainly does not need to imagine much here to see how it actually was. It would be amazing to hear a concert here today.

A beautiful and interesting place. Apart from the huge sandstone formations, driving just a few kilometers further on, there is a mini-nudist beach, as well as a giant swing overlooking the sea.

Interesting rock formations next to a nice beach area and large car park. If staying in the area and looking for a relaxing afternoon, it's worth a trip here. There are a couple of restaurants too.

Beautiful and impressive sandsculptures. There is a QR code to take you to the detailed information about the sculptures in English, however its disappointing that you first have to sign up to the town's newsletter so we didn't bother. Also the enormous and EMPTY (in January) car park only allows a 4 hr stay so you can't park there overnight if visiting restaurants.

Free parking the water is so much more clearer than mazarrón beach and you have oasis bar which has great food and service

Great point of interest. Perfect viewpoint and stunning creation by nature. Reason for the 4/5 is the lack of protection and preserving of this landmark by the responsible authorities. Keep in mind that there is no protection (fencing/danger signs) on top of the location. Keep in mind that this location is created by erosion and that collapse of the edges on top is a potential danger.

Really fascinating place. Comparable to the Hoodoos in Drumheller, near Calgary in Canada. Well worth a visit. Great road trip down through the mountain pass.

Yes they are some unusual rock formations caused by weathering. A decent photo opportunity from the large open piece of car park in front of them, which is also suitable as a wild Camp motorhome stopover. The beach opposite is fantastic.

Excellent visit, staff exceptionally helpful and even contacted taxi company to retrieve our lost phone. They arranged for delivery to castle and got it back to us within a couple of hours. Amazing. Views from towers are awesome and evening dinner with music a wonderful experience. Unfortunately a couple of sights closed due to restoration but still well worth the visit.

Gorgeous place to visit, stroll through the garden and stop at the Cafe for a drink soaking up the views. To get into the towers it costs 10 euro per person or just walk through the grounds for free. Have to say we'll worth the 10 euros.

Beautiful place for a day out, but be prepared for the walking up hills. As you probably can see, it's perched on a mountain and the car park is 3 quarters up. You pay to go in yhe various towers, but the grounds are free to roam around. Great few hours with family and the club sandwich is highly recommended as well 👌

Lovely place to visit, not to long of a day, but beautiful gardens and grounds, very informative and a nice day out would recommend

This castle had some great history and a good walking tour via a fre app. The castle itself is basically a walled area on top of a hill overlooking the surrounding areas. So views are fantastic. However, if you are expecting more buildings to wander around, you will be disappointed. There are a fee towers that have been reconstructed, but there is a cost to enter them. Entry to the grounds and cafe is free.

The drive up the hill is an adventure. When you are nearly at the top you can enter the free car park. A short but steep walk up to the castle. Entry is free and if you'd like to take the guided tours, it is €10 pp for the three on offer. A well preserved example of the last millennium of Islamic, Jewish and Catholic rule on this important frontier

Looks spectacular and enticing from the A-7 road but absolutely not worth the visit. The castle scores points for the overall appearance from a distance and the setting and views from it as it is situated on a hilltop with fine vistas of the surrounding countryside but once you get out of the car and pay the admission fee the experience is very disappointing. Virtually nothing worth seeing on site as the synagogue is an excavation site and not worth the 4 euro (there should be no admission price at all as what little there is can be seen in one minute), the Espolon tower has good views from the top but is very basic and when we visited the Alfonsina tower which is the most impressive structure on the site wasn't even open. We were really looking forward to visiting this castle and took a lengthy detour from Cartagena to get there and we wished we hadn't. Much better castles to spend your time and money on than this one.

Had a fantastic time with the family. Really good value for money, as usual weather was fantastic. Was told you are not allowed to bring your own food and drinks.This is not true, seen loads of people with cool boxes and hampers.even so snacks and food was overly expensive. The lines for the slides moved quite quickly and waiting time were quite short.would really recommend this park.btw plenty of free parking.

Really good kid friendly water park

We got half price entrance as last day of season However the prices are way over the top small coke €3.60 and a small water €2.50. We used sun beds assuming were free but no €4.50 each Some water large rubber rings were chargeable and those that were free you had to queue for ages to get So beware if you are going to take, a family you will need a hefty bank balance

Very nice and clean , but extremely long lines at the food kiosk, you will also have to pay for sun chairs, cheaper if you buy tickets online the day before

A good family day if a little expensive

Fab day out and good value for money

Great day out.
