The Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania is sometimes referred to as the Mausoleum of Juba and Cleopatra Selene, as it is the final resting place of Juba II and Cleopatra Selene II, who were of the last king and queen of Mauretania. The mausoleum was constructed in 3 BCE. Cleopatra Selene II was the daughter of Mark Antony, Roman Triumvir, and the Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra VII. It is believed that Pomponius Mela, a Roman geographer of the first century, was referring to the Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania, when he described The Communal Mausoleum of the Royal Family. He was correct, as not only was the mausoleum erected for the king and queen of Mauretania but as a royal tomb for their descendants as well. Roman Emperor, in Rome many years before Juba II left for Numidia, and it was a deliberate act, as it was a sign of allegiance of Juba II to the Roman Kingdom. The mausoleum was constructed according to ancient mausoleums and their architectural design originated from mausoleums found in Egypt and Anatolia. This means that the mausoleum is built from stone and has a circular base. The top of the mausoleum was either completed with a pyramid or cone. The base would also have been decorated with ionic columns, but due to vandalism over the centuries, they are not longer part of the mausoleum.

This is an incredibly beautiful bay with amazingly clean and cool water. I am very happy that we found this place. But there was one unpleasant moment. Before going down, there is a worker who says that there is no space in the parking lot. We must turn around, drive 5 km back, and take a bus. The bus costs 5 euros per person. The parking also costs 5 euros. We still asked her to let us go, because she let other cars pass. In the end, we found a parking space in one minute. There was more than one space. The parking actually costs 9 euros. The beach is clean, with pebbles, and there is a café.

Lovely beach. Near food and drink. Calm seas to swim and relax. Family and couple orientated.

Worth a visit, but make sure to go later in the afternoon otherwise you’ll be baked in the scorching sun. Beautiful views to the surroundings; not much of a castle, more outer remains. A governor’s palace location is a beautiful highest spot of the castle with views to the sea. Visit to the castle requires a certain level of physical fitness and preferably comfortable shoes, at least not heels, so plan accordingly.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

For the best views of Cabo de Palos and La Manga visit here! A great viewpoint. Be careful in February / March with your dog as they’re many caterpillars!

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

For those who like “small” beaches, this is a great option. Remembering that in high season it is mandatory to go by bus they provide and the total return price is €3. The buses leave for 15/15 minutes. It’s worth it.

It's an impressive and historical palace. They offer self-guided English audio tours. We enjoyed the beautiful buildings and all the gorgeous shiny interiors. Sun was casting the pretty shade through the window door of the terrace.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Friendly staff, very interesting history about chocolate in Spain and a fantastic little shop for authentic chocolates, super cheap and a great experience, I recommend for all chocolate lovers.

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

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

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

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

(Translated by Google) Very good place to understand the magnitude of what this important festival is for the world in a city with 10,000 people where 1,000,000 people go every year (Original) Muy buen sitio para entender la magnitud de lo que es esta fiesta tan importante para el mundo en una ciudad con de 10.000 personas donde cada año van 1.000.000 de personas
