Beach
Outdoor Activities
Es Trenc, located 11km south of Campos in Mallorca, is a family-friendly beach with clear and shallow waters ideal for swimming. This pristine 5km stretch of unspoilt sand consists of Es Trenc and Platja de Sa Rapita. The beach features soft dunes, white sand, and crystal-clear water, making it one of the most beautiful dune beaches in Mallorca. However, it can get crowded during the summer months.
Amazing beach with shallow turquoise waters. Visited by boat and it was amazing to swim in such a beautifull waters. Plenty of space to anchor in August. We stayed over night and it was bit bumpy
Ondrej K — Google review
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.
Annice W — Google review
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.
Sanja D — Google review
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.
Anja B — Google review
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.
Andrei B — Google review
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.
Adrian T — Google review
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.
Rwdi — Google review
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.

Ferrocarril de Sóller - Estació de Sóller

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Heritage railroad
Tours
The Ferrocarril de Sóller is a vintage electric tram that has been operating daily since its establishment in 1912. The train offers a scenic trip through Mallorcan landscape from Palma to the seaside town of Soller, which boasts a charming harbor and beach. While it may be considered an expensive tourist attraction, the efforts to preserve its rustic old-world charm have been successful. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, trains only run once daily and return in late afternoon.
Get the ticket on their official website, consider the combo ticket for train and tram. The train takes you to Sóller, the tram can then be taken to Port de Sóller. If you book early, you can leave Palma early, and split your time properly between Sóller and the port. We had the train at 3pm and return at 7.30pm. Still worked out nicely to enjoy dinner at the port and also spent half an hour in Sóller before returning to Palma. The train and tram ride pass through beautiful landscapes. Do watch your belongings as it is an activity pickpockets target.
Steve L — Google review
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)
Joan C — Google review
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.
Katie B — Google review
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.
Felicity B — Google review
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.
Kate P — Google review
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.
Tony S — Google review
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.

Nature & Parks
Palma Aquarium, located near the airport and opened in 2007, boasts the largest live coral collection in Europe. The aquarium features over 700 types of creatures, including impressive sand tiger sharks in the 'Big Blue' tank with three million liters of water. With more than 55 aquariums and 8000 fish from around the world, it offers an ideal family day out.
Wow, what an amazing visit we had! I was expecting this to be a short 45-minute visit with just enough to see. It turned out to be a full experience lasting a few hours! The whole story is developing nicely, and there are plenty of species to see and learn about. I enjoyed the Jungle the most, as it was an outside adventure and looked amazing! I recommend this as a must-see in Palma!
Boris B — Google review
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
Anthony M — Google review
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!
Hannah S — Google review
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.
Petar P — Google review
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.
Dalibor D — Google review
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!
Tommi R — Google review
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.
Jon H — Google review
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.

Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca

Mentioned on 
+20 other lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca, also known as La Seu, is a stunning Gothic edifice that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. This architectural marvel was constructed over several centuries and showcases a blend of Moorish, Gothic, and Modernist influences. The cathedral features one of the largest rose windows in the world, known as the Gothic eye, which fills its interior with an ethereal light during morning hours.
Amazing cathedral with lots of information plaques for the history buffs. Really reasonable audio tour (only €5). Absolutely stunning. 100% worth paying to go on the terrace, the views are worth the climb. Not one for those with accessibility issues though, I have MS and the climb up really took it out of me. Take it slow and steady if you go up.
Joy H — Google review
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!
Glen M — Google review
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.
Kyle J — Google review
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.
Miss N — Google review
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.
Bertie M — Google review
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!
Petar P — Google review
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...
Balkrishna S — Google review
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.

Castillo de Bellver

Mentioned on 
+58 other lists 
Castle
Museums
Castell de Bellver, a 14th-century circular castle commissioned by James II of Aragon, sits atop a wooded hill overlooking Palma. Initially built as a royal residence, it later served as a military prison. Today, the castle houses the City History Museum showcasing Mallorca's history through various artifacts and exhibits. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Palma and its bay from the top of the castle while surrounded by fragrant pine woods.
Bellver Castle is a truly impressive sight. We arrived a bit late and missed the chance to go inside (it closes at 7pm in the summer), but even from the outside, the circular Gothic architecture is stunning. The real highlight, though, is the location. Situated on a hilltop, the castle offers an absolutely breathtaking panoramic view of Palma and its bay. It's the perfect spot to capture some incredible photos and just take in the beauty of the area. It's worth the trip up the hill just for the views alone.
Marko Ž — Google review
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.
Richandjulie A — Google review
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.
Aseem S — Google review
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

If you walk up the steps then you need to turn left at the entrance, go down the road for a few hundred yards to buy entrance tickets at the visitor centre. Amazing unique circular castle. Wonderful views & lots to see inside, exhibits etc. Fascinating!

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Katmandu Park, situated in the vibrant town of Magaluf, is a captivating fairground park that offers an array of thrilling attractions and immersive experiences for visitors of all ages. From themed electronic shooting games to an elaborate mini-golf course and a 4D cinema, the park promises entertainment and adventure.
Been to this hotel twice and always have an amazing time. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Kids club is great. Rooms are nice and kept clean. Could use some variation with the food as its pretty repetitive, especially for vegetarian options but there is enough that you can eat. Was a bit confused why the outdoor stage wasn't being used for the night time entertainment. In my opinion it's much better outside, more seating and much easier for everyone to see and participate. Still the entertainment was good. I would definitely go back and would recommend to others.

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…,
Intelligent E — Google review
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.
Vivian S — Google review
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.
Adam D — Google review
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.
Kathy T — Google review
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.

Hiking Trails
Via Verde del Mar is a scenic coastal trail that offers a pleasant experience for both cyclists and pedestrians. The path provides stunning views of the sea and features separate lanes for cyclists and walkers. Some sections are gravel while others are paved, making it suitable for various activities. Additionally, there are off-road trails leading to potential picnic spots. Although the trail is relatively short, it offers an enjoyable way to appreciate the seaside without strenuous physical exertion.
Is a really nice plan to enjoy with friends, kids, pets! You're able to hike and that's cool... After that you can go to the beach and enjoy! 100% recommended!

A beautiful coastal trail with stunning sea views all along the way. Perfect for walking, running or cycling, it connects Benicasim with Oropesa through nature and old railway tunnels. Peaceful, safe and well maintained, it's one of the best ways to enjoy the Mediterranean landscape and fresh air.
Sergio S — Google review
We tried this in June. Extremely hot, couldn’t finish the trail. This time we came out here the first week of April, slightly overcast but warm. We started around 14h, that’s when all the locals are finishing and heading to lunch. So there are less people at this time. Beautiful walk. Wish they had bicycles for rent close by. You share the path with cyclists. One side of the path is gravel the other is paved but not smooth enough. I didn’t see anyone with roller blades (patinas). There are 3 picnic benches at the beginning. There are places where you could go out on the rocks to get closer into the sea. I saw a bunch of people climbing the hill to go to the light house.

Great for cycling or just walking, there are two lanes for each one, but the best part is the great view you get of the sea. There are also some "offroad" trails that sometime lead to great picnic spots. Highly recommended for people who like being able to see a great view without too much physical activity.

Very nice track to cycle just beside the sea. The only negativ point is that it's only a short track. Hopefully it will be extended in the future. In summer the road can be quite crowded.

Coves de Sant Josep

Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Coves de Sant Josep offers guided boat trips and hikes through a subterranean river that dates back to the Triassic era, making it the longest in Europe. Visitors can enjoy a 45-minute leisurely boat ride along the underground river, covering approximately 800 meters. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, guests will explore various rooms within the caves, including the Bat Room, Dianas Lake, Siphon Gallery, Dry Zone, and Cathedral.
Great find! We couldn’t buy tickets online directly as they were sold out for weeks. I really wanted to go so we nearly paid €50+ euro’s per head but we didn’t need transfers as we had a rental car and was also travelling on from Valencia to Barcelona. In the end we was late leaving the Vila so didn’t book the excursion tour. We decided to go and see if we could get tickets in person. We were very lucky as got the last 4 tickets for the day. (It was around 12.45.pm) we went and had a nice slow lunch then went and got an icecream. We then had a look around the tourist shops and drove to the top of the mountain to check out the views. Then it was time to go back and go in the caves. They were fantastic. I would have loved to of been able to take more pictures though. Guide didn’t speak lots of English but she tried. Majority was only in Spanish. Didn’t help that when she did speak in English there was another family that was so loud you couldn’t tell what the lovely guide was saying. Facilities; lots of nice restaurants and food, clean toilets small kids play park. Shops and market stalls.
Lynsey R — Google review
Booked online and had a great time! Free parking available, and some are even covered. There are some bathrooms right next to the parking lot. On the way to the cove entrance, you’ll pass many stores, restaurants, snacks, so plenty of options to eat/shop. The tour itself was about 50 minutes. First part is a short boat ride for about 10-15 minutes, then you get off and walk a bit thru the cave for another 10-15 minutes, and then get on the same boat for the last part back. You can only take photos/videos towards the end, for about 5-10 minutes. The guide who is rowing the boat will let you know when you can use your phones. Water is mostly clear and shallow (1-2 meters deep). There are a few sections where the water goes deeper (around 11 meters) but the boat doesn’t pass on top of it. You do share the boat with other random people. Overall it was fun but mostly relaxing and uneventful. Wouldn’t do it a second time!
Ricardo A — Google review
Well managed site and surrounding, a very unique experience. There are multiple restautants and gift shops around as well. Tickets can be purchased on site, tours start frequently, there are a lot of guides. The water inside the cave was very clear, the tour starts off with a 5-10 minute boat ride in the caves, continues with 10 minute walk, and ends with another boat ride. The boats had one tour guide each, and could fit about 10-14 people. The guide was in the back and pushed the boat forward like a Gondola, with a long wood. The only downside was that the guide spoke very little English. There is plenty of free parking outside.
CJ — Google review
This was so much fun! You are allowed to take pictures but only when permitted at one point in the boat trip. I would've liked to spend more time in the boat just checking out the caves but you are moved through the cave waters by a guide. In an area filled with ancient ruins and such old history, it's crazy to think they just found these caves in the middle of the 20th century. They were truly explored only in the 1960s. They still don't know how big it is, where it starts, and where it ends. Worth the hour's trip from Valencia to visit.

The Caves of Saint Josep, I came here with a large group from our cruise ship for the day, we had a timed entry into the San Jose Caves. Each boat holds about 12 people and we went slowly through the water while the guide pointed out various formations. There was a short walkway too, in the middle of the tour. This is said to be "Europe's longest navigable underground river", which is the unique reason I took the tour! It was quite enjoyable and I can recommend it.
Eileen W — Google review
I came to #SanJoséCave because I was curious about the cave experience—those online videos looked super eye-catching, and hey, I’d never done it before. Figured it was time to tick it off the list. After a long bus ride, here’s how it went: 1️⃣ Not as stunning as expected—colors were pretty dull 2️⃣ Most of the tour felt rushed and not very photo-worthy 3️⃣ The journey was long and repetitive… got a bit boring 🥱 4️⃣ Some fellow boat passengers were seriously rude—taking sneaky photos and spinning around nonstop 🤬 5️⃣ Ticket price wasn’t cheap 🤑 6️⃣ Very few food options nearby ❌🥣 7️⃣ Tried to sit in their restaurant with my own snacks and got told off (even though the place was empty—guess we all know why the flies were the only customers 🪰) Bottom line: There are plenty of other places around the world with way better value for your time and money 🌍📈

Mundomar is a sea-life park in Benidorm, offering a tropical-themed experience with various attractions. Visitors can enjoy dolphin shows, swim with sea lions, and interact with meerkats and monkeys. The park provides an opportunity to get up close to marine animals like dolphins and seals without the need for an expensive cruise. Mundomar also features entertaining shows and a glass bottom boat ride for a memorable experience.
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!

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.
Vika E — Google review
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.
Aidan05 — Google review
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

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.

Water & Amusement Parks
Aqualandia, located in Benidorm, Costa Blanca, Spain, is a sprawling outdoor water park offering an array of slides and games suitable for visitors of all ages. The park features fast water slides, swimming pools, rapids, giant waterfalls, and shallow pools for young children. Additionally, it includes various dining options, shops, and relaxation areas for sunbathing. Aqualandia is the perfect destination to beat the summer heat with its diverse attractions and amenities.
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.
Tatiana L — Google review
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.
ADG — Google review
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.
Andy M — Google review
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.

Castell de Cullera

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Castle of Cullera is a restored hilltop castle dating back to the 10th century, offering scenic water views and housing a museum. Situated in the coastal town of Cullera, in Valencia, Spain, it provides panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The castle has historical significance as it was involved in battles and reconstructions over the centuries.
Taxi to car park, funicular from there up to castle proper. We had reductions on everything because we're old, €1 each, funicular and for castle! Card payment only. Good audio visual at entrance (English subtitles) giving history of the castle. Can get app with audio aid for tour. English translations at exhibits. Very very interesting. Wonderful views everywhere. Walked down to town along the calvery track dotted with the Stations of the Cross. Steep in places but benches to rest. Tower (closed for siesta) but can get to canon . Brings you out behind market. 600 metres but with switch backs closer to 2km. First stop beer and snack!

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.
Ricardo P — Google review
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
Jack M — Google review
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.
Nikolay G — Google review
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.

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!

Platja de Llevant is an urban public beach in Benidorm, known for its recreational waters, lifeguards, showers, lounge chairs, and volleyball nets. Despite not having the quaint charm of a secluded cove, it is a beloved Blue Flag bay with golden shores and crystal-clear waters. This popular beach offers a bustling atmosphere and stunning views of the Mediterranean sea. During peak season, it can get crowded as visitors flock to enjoy the gentle waves and clean sandy shores.
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.

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.
Patrizia P — Google review
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.

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.

Oceanogràfic València

Mentioned on 
51 lists 
Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Oceanogràfic is a major attraction located within the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain. It is Europe's largest marine park, featuring over 20,000 creatures from 650 different species. The aquarium showcases marine life from various ecosystems around the world, offering visitors an immersive experience through its diverse exhibits.
This place is awesome, so much things to see. I recommend take some warm clothes, as in arctic area is 17C or even colder so wearing some a jacket is a must, there are plenty of food to try, also there are 3 shows daily with dolphins, apx 20minut each, so check the time for the show. Most of the places has outer and inner parts so it is great to check the outer parts and then take elevator or stairs and check what's under the ground. Overall me and my 4yo toddler has enjoyed the the 3.5 hour long tour. It is definitely worth a try. P.S. sometimes, especially on holidays or weekends the place is crowded and the queue for the ticket is huge, so I recommend to buy tickets online as there is no difference.

Nice place, huge effort from the team. Great selection of animals etc. Awesome aquariums. The one from Tenerife is the leader, in my opinion. The food inside quality should be improved. The value for money is disappointing. Dishes hot in the exterior and almost frozen in the middle. The security staff should help the clients; in our case, they had long personal discussions, ignoring the visitors.

It was worth it. Truly amazing! Impressive building with aquarium and dolphin show. You should be here! I received support and guidance when I needed. If You wish to see dolphin show please make sure that you arrive 10 minutes earlier and take a seat because workers try to ensure health and safety for everyone. If you decide to eat dinner here then it's expensive and less choices. Public toilets are available here.

The L'Oceanogràfic is one of Valencia's biggest attractions, a true showcase. The ticket price seemed high for our budget, but after entering and seeing these wonders, I realized it was a bargain. The animals look well-cared for and have plenty of space. The dolphin arena is a real gem. I felt the dolphins were happy; you could see their bond with their trainers, and the instructor focused on educating people about these magnificent animals and their health. Initially, I thought the area was small and would be a quick tour, but it turned out that the coolest aquariums and trails are underground, pleasantly cool (good for hot weather). It was amazing to see the belugas and underwater passages with sharks and other creatures overhead, within arm's reach. I felt the magic of this place the entire time, like a child. The photos capture it perfectly! You can buy a combined ticket to the facilities in the city of science, but THIS is a gem and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I liked the marine animals, beautiful buildings with modern architecture. Arrows on the floor were useful to help you follow a predefined route, to easily go through all the dark rooms with aquariums. I liked the call for everyone to get involved and make changes for a better planet. The dolphin show was a bit boring, a few jumps, swimming with 2 employees and that's it. I've seen better shows at dolphinariums. If you want a good seat go there with many minutes before the show.
Nico — Google review
This place was awesome. Lots of fish. We even saw whales a crocodile penguins. Jellyfish and lots of other animals and exciting things to see. I would definitely go again as you couldn’t see from the photos there is a lot to see and a lot to do it does cost. It cost us €38 per person. I don’t know what that will be for people looking at this in a few years time. But you can spend three or four hours in there easy And if you come with children, there is plenty of things for them to jump a boat undo ice cream shops. There’s a restaurant in there. There is play areas for kids as well.

Went with the vision this would probably rate as a childrens zoo. Not at all it was amazing. Such a different perspective of the sea creatures which interacted with you as you passed along underwater tunnels. Clean, good food, exceptional staff and most of all the most hilarious penguins I've ever met. Prepare to be intrigued, delighted and entertained.

I recently visited Oceanogràfic in Valencia, and it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. The aquarium is beautifully designed, easy to explore, and filled with an impressive variety of marine life from all around the world. Out of all the exhibits, the dolphins and sea lions were definitely the highlights of my visit. Watching the dolphins was truly unforgettable — they were energetic, playful, and clearly well-cared for, and their interactions with the trainers made the experience both educational and entertaining. The sea lions were equally captivating, with their curious personalities and lively behaviour. I could have spent hours watching them glide through the water and interact with each other. The whole place feels very immersive, and the layout allows you to get close to the animals without feeling crowded or rushed. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well-maintained and clean, from the walkways to the viewing areas. Whether you’re visiting as a family, a couple, or even on your own, there’s plenty to enjoy and learn. Overall, Oceanogràfic offers a wonderful mix of entertainment and education, and I would definitely recommend it to others looking for a memorable day out.

Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias

Mentioned on

Science museum
Nature & Parks
The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias is a cutting-edge science complex located in a beautifully landscaped park. It features a large aquarium, an IMAX cinema, and various cultural and scientific institutions.
The river that runs through Valencia was redirected, and the kilos of dry River bed have been turned into Parkland. This collection of buildings is one of the highlights of this redevelopment and iconic buildings of contemporary architecture, dedicated to the sciences and arts. The Central pools remind you that this area used to be a river And also offer relief from the heat when the wind blows across them. The collection of buildings are extraordinary and Howes and aquarium and IMAX Theatre Gardens and museums. The Bridge, which crosses the drive of the bed is also iconic and a beautiful addition to this amazing architectural area.A wonderful place to wander through and visit some of these exquisite places.
G M — Google review
The architecture is amazing and is covered in nature. You can even see and hear parrots in the trees and it's beautiful. It's a brilliant place to walk around and explore but one thing which wasn't the best was the cost to go inside. I read other reviews and some people said how it isn't worth paying the money to go inside and I can agree with them. If you want to, your more than welcome to pay the money to go inside but I wouldn't. Overall, amazing place to go and there's a bus which goes right up to the museum which was very helpful.
Millie L — Google review
We visited the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias in Valencia today (October), and it was a wonderful experience even without going inside the buildings. The weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot, and there were fewer people around, which made it peaceful to stroll through and take photos. The modern architecture is stunning, and the reflections on the water create a beautiful, almost futuristic atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting, even just to enjoy the walk and the views.
Lissette I — Google review
We were there on a Saturday night. It was very nice to walk around. The architecture was fascinating and the vibe was just very good. A nice place to stroll around and it was super easy to get there from the city center. And don’t forget to check out the whisper chamber! It was very cool!!!
Kawisara T — Google review
The City of Arts and Sciences is a futuristic destination in Valencia, well worth a visit. It's a large area encompassing many buildings, of which the oceanarium is, in my opinion, the most beautiful and highly recommended. Even without tickets, it's still worth seeing the buildings from the outside, although you should be careful with the sun as the main promenades are uncovered. However, there's a garden and a park along the entire length, so I recommend exploring those paths.
Natalia T — Google review
A spectacular place where science comes to life through interactive experiences, and architecture itself becomes art. The building is stunning — futuristic, full of light, and truly one of Valencia’s modern landmarks. Exhibits are well organized and engaging for all ages, from hands-on experiments to immersive multimedia displays. A space that inspires curiosity and reminds you how beautiful knowledge can be.

Beautiful architecture and a great place to go for a stroll at any time of day. Very nice and colourful at night. Also lots of exhibits museums and Europe’s largest aquarium.
Eric S — Google review
We did the whole Combination, Museum, Cinema and the Oceanographic Park! Booked a combined ticket in advance which I would recommend! The Museum is a must for every person that’s interested in science/ the human body! We are two medstudents and we loved it but it’s definitely something children would love as well! The Movie is just an experience for the eyes, the big round screen is unique and therefore very interesting! The Seaanimals are very nice to watch. However, might be the case that they have multiple certifications but to have beluga whales in an Aquarium and Dolphines for a show, even if it isn’t as disciplined as some other shows, isn’t really acceptable. We on purpose didn’t go to the show and we read afterwards some articles which stated the show is very dolphins friendly and the circumstances are far from shows at Seaworld etc. but we heard the crowd from far and Dolphines are very intelligent and sensitive animals which is why that’s not acceptable. Just because they don’t treat the Dolphines as cruel as others, doesn’t mean it’s not cruel. And to keep them and even bigger animals, belugas, in a tank of water when normally they would wander thousands of miles in the ocean just makes me very sad. And I am aware, that they also support the ecosystem sea in a way but I would like to see at least no Dolphines and Whales in Tanks way to small for their needs. We won’t be coming back, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend anyone going there. The only case I would go back is probably with kids, for educational purposes. However, still 3 Stars for the Cinema and the Museum.

Great experience inside the market. Lots of options to eat. Some great economic options to try paella. Unfortunately there isn't any place to sit down and eat, but that's part of the experience I guess. A definite must see on your trip to València. Try the cheesecake and have a coffee right outside to start off your day

The Central Market in Valencia is absolutely incredible. The building itself is stunning, with beautiful architecture and a vibrant, bustling atmosphere. Inside, the variety is endless fresh produce, spices, cheeses, baked goods, and so much more. It’s a feast for the senses, with colors, aromas, and flavors everywhere you turn. The vendors are friendly and passionate about their products, and it’s the perfect place to sample local specialties or pick up something unique. Whether you’re shopping, snacking, or just exploring, this market is a must-see in Valencia. Truly one of the highlights of the city.

Nice place to roam and get inspired. But nothing was calling me. I am pure veg so didn't get attracted to most of the stalls. Smell was also really strong that day. But it's nice to know that the building is having it since 100 years going on as a tradition
Ria — Google review
Very nice food market. Lots of food is repeated, but you still get a lot of variety. Much of the food is very overpriced, but I guess that's what you get at a touristy place. All the food looks nice, but I'm not sure if the quality is actually that good. Comes with parking, which is good.
Martina ( — Google review
100% worth visiting. This market is incredible. The building itself beautiful, but just to walk up and find every aisle immersing yourself in local fresh produce is a real experience. It does not feel too touristy in my opinion as you are surrounded by locals doing their daily shop. It does get busy, so go early (maybe that’s why I didn’t find it too touristy) - I loved popping by here daily

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Bioparc Valencia is a unique zoo that houses nearly a thousand animals from 150 different African species. The park features specially designed habitats to ensure the well-being and comfort of the animals, offering visitors an immersive experience in various natural habitats. From vast savannas to dense forests, visitors can observe antelopes, giraffes, rhinoceroses, hyenas, buffaloes, leopards, gorillas, and elephants in recreated wild environments.
This is by far the best zoo I’ve visited in a long time! The viewing experience is excellent. Every animal can be seen clearly from multiple angles, and the enclosures are beautifully designed. One small improvement would be to include more animals and represent more regions. Overall, an amazing experience!
Hussain R — Google review
I really enjoyed visiting this zoo! The place is huge and very well kept, with an amazing variety of animals — including some really rare and beautiful species. You can tell the animals are well cared for, and the enclosures are clean and spacious. The only downside is the ticket price — it’s a bit expensive, especially for families. But overall, it’s a great place to spend a few hours, relax, and see lots of incredible animals. Definitely worth visiting!
Артур — Google review
One of the nicest zoos we ever visited. Even though it might look small, we spent great day there. Great variety of animals, the hippo feeding was amazing to see. The animals seem happy and very well cared for. In comparison with other zoos is this one alot of them share the space (like giraffes, ostriches, goats, birds) which gives a much more natural feeling, no cages, no minuscule enclosures. We were just in time for the "Circle of life" show where birds were flying around the arena which was very cool. Only downside was that some people were smoking even if its prohibited Even the restaurant has an amazing view to the animal enclosures. Overall great experience, even though a bit pricey it's definitely worth.

Amazing bioparc! Spent a day here while traveling in Valencia and so glad i did. Wonderfully laid out, not too busy, and great keeper talks given in spanish, catalan and english in the different areas of the park. Enjoyed the lunch meal deal in the cafeteria as well, great traditional paella for the cost.
Lexie P — Google review
Fantastic experience for everyone who want to enjoy a day (takes more than a couple of hours for a decent tour) with animals. I like that it's not you classic (and sad) Zoo, here animals have a good amount of space and are nourished and looked after. There is great variety and there are multiple places where you can rest and relax. The ticket price is not cheap, but it's something you can expect to keep those animals in the best possible conditions.
Fabrizio D — Google review
I'm thrilled with this biopark! The animals are cage-free, in conditions that are close to real life. There are waterfalls, ponds, lots of trees and grass, and rock formations. The animals are clean, well-fed, and look healthy and calm. The animals live as if on islands that you can walk around on all sides. I've never seen anything like this with the opportunity to see wild animals so close. Any zoo is still captivity, but this the best that can be in such conditions. The staff is friendly and professional, and there are tours available. I was especially impressed by the area with the lemurs, who just run around next to you, without cages. Elephants, hippos, giraffes, lions, a leopard, turtles, monkeys, many large and small animals, and birds. We wish the biopark prosperity and healthy visitors.
Мария В — Google review
So much fun! Only £25 each for adults. Purchased online the day before and didn’t have to line up like the rest. Able to just walk in. The enclosures were so nicely done, clean and the animals appeared well looked after. Would recommend the hippo feeding which is free to watch. The bird show is something I wouldn’t rave about and if you’re short on time give it a miss. Otherwise so fun. They have an open enclosure where the lemurs reside.
Sarah P — Google review
Very interesting walk-through zoo. Quite easy to reach by bus. Can easily spend a good three quarters of a day walking through and having fun with family. In order to enter it is recommended that you buy the tickets online before, otherwise you will end up waiting for half an hour to three quarters of an hour. The issue was not the long queue as much as disorganisation by the personnel selling / scanning tickets. They could have done a lot more and faster if they opened one or two more selling stations and organised the queues a bit more (people were skipping queue and it was not nice!). Zoo is recommended for families of all ages but especially for children. If you go do not miss the AR underwater experience. It is a must for circa Euro 5 (each person). Quite original and good. The only downside was the buying of slushy drinks from the park (actaully from all over Valencia!). You had to buy a refillable cup. Whilst I understand this option to reduce plastic waste, the probability is that you cannot keep on going around Valencia with the cup to refill each time and this custom of selling slushy with cup seems to be all over the city. So you either buy a cup each time (which is not environmentally and financially friendly) or opt for another drink. The rest was all positive and very recommended. The souvenir shop was ok but could do with a good upgrade of original products to sell.

Ascensor del Castillo de Santa Bárbara

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
The Ascensor del Castillo de Santa Bárbara in Alicante is a fantastic way to reach the historic fortress without the strenuous climb. This smooth and quick elevator ride transports visitors directly to the summit of Mount Benacantil, where they are greeted with stunning panoramic views of Alicante's cityscape, coastline, and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea. The experience is not only scenic but also budget-friendly, as accessing both the castle and elevator is free.
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.
Sheila W — Google review
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!
James H — Google review
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.

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.

It's ok not amazing. The food is rubbish. it's quite small and you can see everything in 3 hours . It's not a complete waste of time and money although 90 something Euro's for 2 adults and a child seems a bit steep on reflection. The food prices to the quality is crazy 😧 very bad hence the 3 star .

Well the kids liked it and thats why we went. But it's very expensive for what you get. The shows are kind of disappointing I think they could do so much more. The technology is 20 years old. They try but it needs an injection if modernization. The food is crazy expensive. The best bit was the dinosaurs in the sea building which we did last thankfully. Four hours and we did it all. Hopefully they can update things a bit it could have been so much more exciting for the kids

Thought it would be a fun natural history thing for the kids. Turns out it's mostly waiting in line for 4D shows, and a play area. The first show they sent everyone away because it was broken down, and the paleontology hall was closed. We were on a tight schedule and couldn't wait hours for the 'rides', so €126 for a play pen? I demanded my money back. First time I EVER did that.

What a complete rip-off. €28 per adult and €22 per CHILD! For nothing more than a few fibreglass statues of dinosaurs, a really badly acted T-Rex drama and run-around treehouse that's limited to kids aged +9. And don't go there hungry. The food is absolutely terrible. The salmon (fish of the day) was frozen and had the texture of my granny's old boots, the carrots we're tinned and boiled until every last vitamin had disappeared and the potatoes would have found better used in a jar of baby food. They we're mush. The only thing worth eating was the roasted chicken. You'd get better value for money and more educationally by renting Jurassic Park on Netflix and ordering in a pizza!

Cuevas del Diablo

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Cuevas del Diablo, located in Alcala del Jucar, is a fascinating destination known for its unique hillside pockmarked with caves and tunnels. Over the centuries, these rocky dwellings have been carved out of the material, some of which are remarkably well-preserved to this day. One of the most popular attractions is the Cueva del Diablo (Devil's Cave), easily accessible from the village with clear signage.
Omg!!! This place is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It might be because I love caves and cave houses...From the village are plenty of signs to the Devil's cave. You can't miss it! At the reception is the owner, such a caracter, such a lovely man ( I think he is well known in Spain ) with his beautiful dog. We were allowed to visit with our two doggies. 💜 Impressed by the low price that includes the visit and a drink at the 5 floor balcony. There is a lot of history, old objects, pictures with the owner's past....so relaxing. I felt full of good energy and vibe after the visit. And the feeling of enjoying a good glass of red wine at the balcony...Absolutely gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing with us this place!

What a great place to explore! Not my first visit but was for my girlfriend. Great collection of typical Spanish antiques, covering everything from cabinets full of matches, medical equipment, typewriters, farm tools and machinery (to name a few artifacts), my favorite being a mini tractor type ploughing machine with what looks like grannies armchair sat on top for the operator 😂😂. Great value at €3 per person which includes a drink at the far side of the caves, really nice little bar overlooking the river at the mountains that surround Alcalá de Júcar. You can explore further the caves by walking up a 7 stories stairway, so take a deep breath before you do! The cave walkways are fascinating and you discover little nooks along the way. Another benefit is how cool temperature wise in there, especially when it was 40+ outside, so a welcome relief. The owner who is a spitting image of Salvador Dali complete with pointy mustache, there are plenty of photos of him with famous people along the caves, and we managed to grab one with him when we left.

A must visit when in Alcala del Jucar. Amazing cave museum with a bar. Friendly owner and his dog opens the door that links one side to the other. Only €3.50 including a drink at the bar.

San Pablo Bridge

Mentioned on 
34 lists 
Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
San Pablo Bridge is a stunning iron and wood footbridge that spans the Huécar River, offering breathtaking views of Cuenca's iconic Hanging Houses. The bridge can be enjoyed from the convent of San Pablo, now transformed into a Parador hotel.
It is a beam bridge located over the Huécar River, connecting the San Pablo Monastery and the old town of Cuenca. After the original bridge, built between 1533 and 1589, collapsed, the current structure was constructed in 1902 and opened in 1903. The bridge spans two sections, with a total length of 100 meters and a maximum height of 60 meters. From the bridge, you can enjoy views of the Huécar River and the canyon, as well as a perspective of the Casas Colgadas perched on the cliffs.

Very impressive! A tad bouncy and you can certainly feel the bridge sway and jiggle when you walk over it which can be disconcerting and if you’re scared of heights then it’s a tad terrifying. But a cool experience. Definitely worth a trip to Cuenca.
GORDY O — Google review
Not for the faint of heart, vertigo sufferers or ones with fear of height. It looks harmless from the photos but the bridge's width is narrower and the height of the bridge is perched far higher than expected. Does not help that the bridge has very thin railings on both sides. That said it does have very breathtaking panoramic views of the town and countryside if you can keep your eyes open and stop your legs from shaking.

Lovely bridge. Was fun jumping on it. Just kidding. The middle part shakes a bit but the views are incredible.

The bridge is a wonderful way to enter the city. The other way is through a spiraling road in the bottom near the underground parking lot. It’s hard to truly capture the magnitude of the city if you don’t cross the bridge.

Cuenca Cathedral is a magnificent structure featuring stunning stained glass windows and intricate ceilings. Visitors can enjoy audio tours and regular concerts at this grand cathedral. Nearby, the iconic Hanging Houses are a must-see attraction, with three of them open to the public. For breathtaking views of these houses, visitors can cross the iron footbridge of Puente de San Pablo.
Great cathedral with beautiful gothic interior! The coloured glass on windows are very special, never seen anything with style like this. Going on the roof is also highly recommended. The museum is nice too.

Wow wow wow, I have never been in a Cathedral that has given me so much joy. I love stained glass so this was an absolute revelation. the stained glass in this cathedral is nothing short of spectacular. the original plain glass windows were replaced by the most spectacular modernist stained glass that elevated this cathedral into something quite exceptional. They also had an exhibition go religious iconography that was simply breathtaking. this Cathedral is definitely a must visit if you are in the city
Andrew M — Google review
Amazing cathedral with many little side chapels all with a different history. You have to pay to get in but it's probably one of the most interesting cathedrals we've visited in Spain. Pay the extra 1.5 euros to climb the tower and get a balcony view into the cathedral and out into the square
Sarah G — Google review
The interior suprised me, the stained glass works of the cathedral were amazing and we could see many reflections inside! The ceilings are very cool pieces of artwork, and there are many details to see. Visited in October 2025, tickets were 5.50 euros for general public and 4.50 for carnet joven holders.
Bilge K — Google review
One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen. The entry is 5 euros, which I think is totally worth it, and you can also pay 2 euros more to go up to the inside balcony, where you get an amazing view of the main square. For the experience and the amount of beautiful pictures you can take, it feels like a fair price. You can truly spend many hours here because each room has so much personality and makes you feel like you’re walking through a masterpiece. They also have an outside patio where you can see the famous hanging houses of Cuenca, the bridge, and even the statue of the Virgin Mary in the distance. The only downside is that when I tried to pay the 2 extra euros for the balcony, they didn’t accept card, so make sure to bring some cash with you. Also, the shops around the cathedral usually don’t accept card unless you spend at least 5 euros, which was a bit annoying. Other than that, it was an amazing experience, and honestly, if you’re in Madrid, the trip to Cuenca is completely worth it just for this cathedral.

The brightest spot in Cuenca for me. Nice vies from the top to the Plaza Mayor and from the backyard to the mountains.

Iconic historic cathedral located by the Plaza Mayor of Cuenca. Rich in architecture, sculpture, and other religious arts. It offers a unique presence in the historic core sitting adjacent to the River Huecar side with rich views from its cloister gardens. The visit has good digital guide resources and offers a series of combined tickets. With time a full ticket is recommendable and gives access during two days to the main cathedral, going up through the facade triforio, entry to the cathedral museum, and nearby St. Thomas church and tower, which are also notable.

Belmonte Castle

Mentioned on

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
History museum
Belmonte Castle, a restored turreted 15th-century fortress, has been open to the public since 2010 for tours, events, and battle re-enactments. Originally built in 1456 and later reconstructed in the 19th century by Eugenia de Montijo, this castle offers an immersive experience with people dressed in period costumes and audio guides available. Visitors can explore various rooms and walk along the castle walls for unique views of the surrounding countryside and small town.
Great experience for all ages. You can already feel the history of this place as you see it in the distance while driving. 15€ including a guided tour of the trebuchet park where they explain all the medieval weapons with a working trebuchet (catapult) that you get to fire. You can download the Spain heritage app and audio for the castle tour. My cell coverage was spotty and they were able to provide me with WiFi access to download the app and audio when I asked the clerk. Lots to explore, we took about 3 hours to see everything taking pictures along the way. Castillo de Belmonte, a must see Cheers!
Marc — Google review
Belmonte Castle, situated in the picturesque town of Belmonte, Cuenca, Spain, is a stunning example of medieval architecture, blending Gothic and Mudejar styles. It was built in the second half of the 15th century by Don Juan Pacheco, the first Marquis of Villena, it stands atop San Cristóbal hill, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The castle's unique star-shaped design, with six towers reaching 22 meters high, makes it a standout among European fortresses. The fortress was practically abandoned between the 17th and 18th centuries and was more or less ruinous by the early 19th century. The heiress of the house of Villena, Eugenia de Guzman, better known as the Empress Eugenia de Montijo and her architect Alejandro Sureda began a restoration project in 1857, keeping the exterior in the original style but updating the interior to modern tastes. Its rich history includes the abive periods of abandonment and restoration, notably by Empress Eugenia de Montijo in the 19th century. It later served as a prison for the Partido Judicial de Belmonte, and as an Onsimo Redondo academy for the Francoist 'Frente de Juventudes'. It was abandoned and began to deteriorate again, before being made a cultural monument in 1931. It is now owned by the descendants of the empress' sister Maria Francisca de Sales Portocarrero. It was restored again in summer 2010 and opened to the public. Today, it is a Bien de Interés Cultural, hosting guided tours and exhibitions that delve into its fascinating past. Visitors can explore its grand halls, admire the intricate Mudejar ceilings, and enjoy the panoramic views from its ramparts. The castle's strategic location in Castilla-La Mancha makes it an ideal day trip for history enthusiasts and those exploring the region's cultural heritage. After visiting the castle, a stroll through the charming town of Belmonte offers a chance to enjoy local cuisine and hospitality.

Worth a visit! This castle is quite lovely with various rooms to visit. You can walk all along the castle walls which is quite unique and you can get amazing photos of the city. Buying tickets in advance or at the window is recommended. If you’re also in the area, go visit the windmills as it’s around a 10 minute drive so you could do both trips in one day!

Worth seeing and lots of views of the country and small town. Amazing to see such an old castle/fortress in such good condition, and be able to take photos and your time when exploring the inside and surrounding area. There are 5 towers to climb up and overlook in all directions, and u will also see three old windmills that were talked about in Don Quioti's novel. This place is in the middle of no-where, and a few minutes after u leave and look back, u won't see anything again - a very well hidden place with all the hills around.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
These windmills are really well preserved and the area surrounding them very well done. If I compare the visit to the windmills in Consuegra, this visit was more pleasant. There are several bars, cafés and souvenir shops right next to the windmills. We had a coffee and a snack while sitting and admiring the views. The parking area wasn't huge, but they are working on it...this area is in construction and when it is finished, it will be even better. Very good experience overall. If you can only visit one set of windmills on the Don Quijote trail, let it be Campo de Criptana. No tickets needed.

Beautiful location with the best views of the city! These famous windmills have been featured in Don Quixote’s match scene so if you’re a fan of the book, a visit is worth it! It’s free to visit plus some windmills are open sometimes so you can go in and view the inside as well which is fantastic. There are gift shops and restaurants here as well so if you want some original Don Quixote gifts or food, this is a reasonable place to purchase them.

Molinos de Viento de Consuegra

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Molinos de Viento de Consuegra is a collection of twelve charming whitewashed windmills dating back to the 19th century, originally used for grinding flour. Situated in La Mancha (Ruta de Don Quijote), this site offers incredible views and a picturesque setting that evokes the spirit of Don Quixote. Visitors can enjoy the scenic beauty and capture stunning photographs without the crowds, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful excursion.
These are 12 windmills built in the 16th century on Cerro Calderico. They evoke the windmills featured in Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote and are known as a symbol of the La Mancha region. Each windmill has a unique name, most of which are related to Don Quixote. The closest windmill to the town, named Bolero, has an information desk, and with an entrance fee, visitors can explore the interior of the windmill. With the same ticket, visitors can also visit Consuegra Castle and other historic sites in Consuegra. Please note that the windmill blades are just frameworks, so they do not turn even when the wind blows.

Must do trip from madrid!!! So worth it to drive there (about 1 hr), you only need an hour or two there to take photos and go up inside one of the mills. Amazing views, and you can walk/hike to see all of them or also go by car and stop at each of them. No regrets.
Isabel C — Google review
Visiting the Molinos de Viento de Consuegra felt like stepping into a storybook! 🌾 These iconic windmills, perched along the hilltop, are absolutely breathtaking — especially with the sprawling countryside stretching out in every direction 😍. Walking from one windmill to the next, we couldn’t help but imagine Don Quixote and his legendary adventures coming to life. The views from the top are spectacular, with the castle standing proudly nearby and the charming town of Consuegra below. It’s the perfect place for photography, a peaceful walk, and a moment to soak in the history and beauty of Spain. We went early in the morning, and it was quiet and serene, with just the sound of the breeze turning the sails. A must-visit destination for anyone traveling through Castilla-La Mancha — full of magic, history, and unforgettable scenery. 🌟📸

Such a fun place to stop and see this historic site in Spain. The windmills are much larger than they look in pictures and it's amazing to see them up close. You can pay a couple of Euros to go up and see the inside. I think it's worth it as it was very fascinating. There is a little movie they show you that explains how they worked.
Brandon Y — Google review
The windmills of Consuegra are located on a high ridge overlooking the plains of La Mancha. It is a very nice place to visit, offering a wide panorama of the Castilian countryside—a classic view of the region, often associated with the novel Don Quixote. The views from the hilltop are excellent and stretch clearly for miles, providing ample opportunity for good photographs. The site also features the Medieval Castle of Consuegra, which is located right next to the mills. The castle is an interesting structure to explore, offering solid insight into the area's history and strategic past. While it requires a drive, this destination is totally worth the trip. It combines significant history and appealing architecture with great natural views. If you are traveling through central Spain, we recommend making this a worthwhile stop on your itinerary.

Sinagoga del Agua

Synagogue
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Sinagoga del Agua is a 14th-century Jewish synagogue that was unexpectedly discovered during a real estate project in Ubeda. The site features a ritual bathing room and has been sensitively recreated to showcase its centuries-old history. The property developer who unearthed the synagogue intended to build apartments but instead revealed an archaeological treasure with every swing of the pickaxe. This recent discovery offers visitors a unique and well-preserved glimpse into the history of the Jewish community in the area.
This place is very unique and worth a look. A very unassuming outside holds lots of surprises inside. The place is rich in history and I give kudos to the owner for preserving the spaces he did not expect to find. You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate the space and what is there.

The Sinagoga del Agua is one of the most fascinating places in Úbeda. Hidden away behind a simple door, it opens up into a beautifully preserved space full of history and atmosphere. You really get a sense of the city’s Jewish past. The guided tour is only in Spanish, which might be challenging if you don’t speak the language, but they provide a small booklet in English, German, and other languages so you can read along. It’s easy enough to follow and still enjoy the visit — the place itself is captivating, from the stone arches to the ritual baths. Even if you don’t understand every word, it’s absolutely worth it for the experience and the feeling of stepping into another time. So if you are ever here in Ubeda make sure to visit the sinagoga del Agua. And i recommend booking the connected tour with the other jewish museum (you can ask for that at the reception or book it over tripadvisor)

A Hidden Gem: The Synagogue de Agua in Úbeda The Synagogue de Agua in Úbeda is a must-see for anyone who wants to explore the rich history of Andalusia. This hidden treasure, located deep in the heart of the city, is a testament to the Jewish presence in Úbeda and a stunning example of medieval architecture. What to Expect: ✅Historical Significance: The Synagogue de Agua is one of the few surviving synagogues in Spain built before the expulsion of the Jews in 1492. It offers a fascinating insight into Jewish life and culture during this period. ✅Architectural Beauty: The synagogue is a masterpiece of architecture, with beautiful vaults, intricate decorations, and a unique design. Meticulous restoration has helped preserve its original splendor. ❗Guided Tours: Unfortunately, the guided tours are only in Spanish, making it difficult for tourists to follow the thematically focused tour. However, there are booklets with information in English, French, Italian, and German so you can follow the tour thematically. I was deeply impressed by the beauty and history of the Synagogue de Agua. The tour was informative and captivating, and I learned a lot about the Jewish community in Úbeda. It was an unforgettable experience that I would recommend to anyone interested in history, architecture, or religion. Tip: Don't book the tour online, but rather on-site, as it can be combined with a tour of another Jewish house for a lower price. Conclusion: The Synagogue de Agua is a truly interesting place that will take you on a journey back in time. It is a must-see for every visitor to Úbeda and an unforgettable experience that you will remember for a long time.
Maarten — Google review
Interesting guided visit for €5 of a fairly recently rediscovered medieval synagogue, or so it is believed. Developers of three adjacent buildings in 2006 found a basement with huge earthenware vases half sunk into the ground, all covered in sand and debris. Further excavations revealed a number of wells in adjacent cellars that were full of rubble, and a perfectly preserved large rectangular ceremonial bath down seven steps, all carved out of solid rock inside what must have been a prehistoric cave created by underground streams. Also a number of arches, columns and architectural features including a double prayer gallery as used by women in synagogues, above a central space that would have been used by men. Archaeologists concluded that during medieval and renaissance times this building had indeed been used as a clandestine synagogue during periods when the Jewish faith was persecuted in Spain.

Stupid that it costs you more to order the tickets online than at the door. And no effort is done by the cassièrre / guide to speak anything else than Spanish. The French and English texts don't explain a lot, are quiet rubbish. The whole visit is done very speedy, you are not allowed to take your time to admire anything. Definitely, in those circumstances, not worth the money.

Most disappointed. We paid our entry fee. No audio guide. There was a spanish tour starting. We were obliged to join it. We were then told we could not proceed ahead of the tour, which was in spanish only, and taking 15-20 minutes per room. We left. We asked for our entry fee back. After consultation with the tour guide, this request was granted!!!! So we wasted 45 minutes and saw the 1st room only. What a ridiculous bunch of clowns!

National park
Nature & Parks
Hiking area
Tablas de Daimiel is a small national park and a haven for migratory birds, offering various ways to explore its beauty such as off-road vehicles, Segways, or on foot. Situated among the principal Spanish aquifer ecosystems, it is one of the largest national parks in Castilla-La Mancha. The marsh originated from the flooding of the Guadiana and Ciguela rivers and serves as a crucial migratory route for many bird species.
Peace, tranquility and surrounded by nature. That is how everyone should spend at least one day every few months! Las Tablas is free, a lovely walk while admiring, small birds, geese, ducks, etc. The trees are amazing! There is a boardwalk to get you over the wetlands safely and to get you as close as you can to admire the scenery. There is a big parking area, restrooms, visitors center, observation area, and plenty of benches along the walk to take a rest if you need too. A wheelchair can make it through with some help (through some dirt areas). This is a very nice National Park which has been under the government's protection for over 50 years. I totally recommend a visit.

It so desperately needs more water to reestablish its glory. What little remains still holds a great compliment of birds, however the majority of the reed beds are now dry. The reserve is expertly maintained by a dedicated staff. But will it ever return to its former glory? Not with fields of new vines and olives planted sucking water from the water table. Nation help is needed to retain this Spanish treasure!

We visited on a sunny and warm Sunday afternoon at 6pm. There were still 100's of families, couples and guided parties walking round the various routes. We were lucky though to have a guide who was able to explain quite alot in English. The levels of water have fallen due to the dry weather and this has pushed the wildlife further away from the walkways and viewing areas. I suggest you either take a pair of binoculars with you or go on a guided walk that provides them. I think the best time to visit if you want to see as much wildlife and in particular the birdlife is in the mornings and from Monday to Friday as the numbers of people visiting are significantly lower than at the weekends. There are toilets situated at the start of your journey so I would say if you need to go do it before you set off walking. There is also a small shop selling souvenirs as well as snacks, water and ice cream etc. Try to visit in April and May or even earlier as the water levels drop as the summer months approach. On the plus side if you have travelled in a campervan or you are towing a caravan, you can stay overnight in one of the grassed car parks. Remember to bring your own food as Daimiel is about 14km away.👍👍👍👍

Bird watching in an easy way. Almost flat and well prepared with walkways over the water takes you to the observation posts. From these wooden cabins it is worth to use long shot photography and telescopes to watch wild life upclose. Big cranes arrived early november this year in numbers. Ducks, storks, herons, cormorans...
