Good zoo with parrots, flamingo, kangaroo, capybara, ocelot, lemurs and giant turtles. Has an open space where you can feed and touch birds and turtles. Very good shady place for kids' entertainment, has a lot of obstacle courses. Parking is free, there are some snacks and a small cafe on the territory. Great attraction and fun. Very recommended for visiting with the kids.
Second visit in 3 years. Really nice place to spend time with various animals but beware the birds will sit in you and as I experienced this time pooped down my back and in my sons arm but laugh I certainly did. There’s a place to grab a drink and weekends they put in a show. The kangaroos are very nice along with the massive ginney pig looking animal and my kids smoothed them & they just loved there’s bellies being tickled.
Even it's 25 year old, the park is fantastic and you are allowed inside with most of the animals. Some parts are a little work, but they try to keep up and are even constructing new areas for more animals. Do expect the birds to poob on you, if you let them sit. They were all well behaved and did not bite. So much fun and they all seem to be in good condition. Super great agility tracks for children from 8-15.
I love this place this was our second visit on our travels round Spain . My passion is birds & to see these beautiful birds so well cared for and looked after by such lovely staff is a joy. The place is beautiful and so much for kids to do as well. Being able to interact with the birds and feed them made my day. I have so many pictures & videos thus is a memory I will treasure always & we will return again & again when we come back to Spain I only wish we had a place like this in the uk . Thank you to all the amazing staff for caring so much for all the birds and animals. This place is a must see on your visit to the area you won’t regret it 😄😄😄🥰
Our second visit this time in winter so no butterflies (too cold) but the bird enclosures are amazing to be able to see and interact with free flying parrots and parakeets and also Macaws
A great day out for young and old. When you arrive and purchase your tickets you are given lettuce leaves to feed the tortoises. In the parrot part they come and sit on you for sunflower seeds and you can get close to the capybaras. The animals look well cared for and the park is open 11am until 3pm.
Small in size but beautifully made. Especially for children. For our child the most beautiful is the capybara
The most beautiful animal park I've ever been to. If it were opened longer (and it wouldn't have been that hot) I could have stayed all day long.

The coffee shop on the left as you enter from the main entrance is absolutely amazing (I wish I knew their shop name)! I visited Benicarlo this summer and went there a few times. The coffee and the croissants are the best in town (trust me when I say this because I’ve tried them all over time😁)! Will definitely come back when I am next in Benicarlo. Lovely customer service too. Very friendly and helpful.
Lovely marketplace full of delicacies.
Very nice to make your daily shopping
(Translated by Google) A great market with fresh food. You can get delicious bocadillos outside. (Original) Ein toller Markt mit frischen Speisen. Davor kann man leckere bocadillos bekommen

Beautiful place, clear water and sand, 10/10
PROS: not crowded | easy free parking | clean & quite CONS: rocky beach
Sharp rocks..u got to wear water shoes
(Translated by Google) The sand is quite coarse, more "golden" than fine, which may be off-putting if you prefer the typical smoothness of Mediterranean beaches. The urbanization in the background is very visible: the beach is lined with buildings, hotels, and shops, which detracts from the natural charm and gives it a more "seaside resort" feel than a pristine cove. (Original) Le sable est assez grossier, plus “doré” que fin, ce qui peut déplaire si vous préférez la finesse typique des plages méditerranéennes . L’urbanisation en arrière-plan est très visible : la plage est bordée d’immeubles, hôtels et commerces, ce qui enlève un peu du charme naturel et donne une atmosphère plus “station balnéaire” qu’une crique préservée .
(Translated by Google) The beach is wide and uncrowded. There are plenty of rocks. I recommend wearing water shoes. The place is very peaceful; at least when I went, the beach was quite clean and the water was beautiful and clear. (Original) La playa es amplia y no había mucha gente. Hay bastante piedras. Recomiendo ir con calzado para el agua. El lugar es muy tranquilo, al menos cuando fui la playa estaba bastante limpia y el agua hermosa y transparente
(Translated by Google) 1. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “An ideal place to enjoy the sea.” 2. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Pleasant atmosphere and beautiful views.” 3. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Perfect for relaxing on the beach.” 4. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Sea, sun, and tranquility guaranteed.” 5. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “An unforgettable experience by the sea. (Original) 1. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Un lugar ideal para disfrutar frente al mar.” 2. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Ambiente agradable y vista preciosa.” 3. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Perfecto para relajarse en la playa.” 4. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Mar, sol y tranquilidad asegurada.” 5. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Experiencia inolvidable junto al mar.
(Translated by Google) The natural surroundings are beautiful, but the beach itself didn't impress us. It was somewhat dirty and seaweed-covered. However, the views from the nearby lookout point are worthwhile. (Original) El entorno natural es precioso, pero la playa como tal no nos convenció. Estaba algo sucia y con algas acumuladas. No obstante, las vistas desde el mirador cercano merecen la pena.

(Translated by Google) We have rented the boat for a bachelorette party and Tony has been lovely. More than 4 hours on a boat on the high seas and they had prepared for us a large amount of beers, snacks, a charcuterie board and even a tray of prawns!! He told us stories about Papa Luna and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. Thank you very much for the great detail about the AMBER beers!! (Original) Hemos alquilado el barco para una despedida y Tony ha sido encantador. Más de 4 horas de barquito por alta mar y tenia preparadas para nosotras gran cantidad de cervezas, picoteo, tabla de embutidos e incluso una bandeja de langostinos !! Nos ha contado historias del Papa Luna y se ha preocupado todo el rato de que estuviesemos cómodas. Mil gracias por el detallazo de las cervezas AMBAR!!
(Translated by Google) Run away!!!!! a lot of money for no professionalism...Alicia is never there...and she doesn't tell you anything...it's very expensive and she doesn't tell you anything...the numbers to call are fake...and she also gives you an excuse She is a mother and then she can't take care of you...she will have to change jobs...and not rob people!!!! Because at the end of the day you buy in livret and you manage for the exams...if you pass the exam it is not thanks to her!! (Original) A huir !!!!! mucho dinero para nada de profesionalismo...Alicia nunca esta...y no te comunica nada....es muy caro y no te comunica nada...los numeros para llamar son falsos...y ademas te pone la escusa que es una madre y entonces no puede atenderte...tendra que cambiar de trabajo...y no robar a la gente!!!! Porque al final y al cabo compras in livret y te apañas para los examenes...si aprobas al examen no es gracias a ella!!

Always love visiting here ..exhibitions are always good.
A XVI century convent converted into a museum, definitely worth visiting. A beautiful building that houses a permanent exhibition of the Iberian settlement and temporary paintings or photographs exhibitions.
Small and area specific Musuem in an old convent. English is limited. Displays are in Spanish and French only. Free to access. Has some local art and sculptures on display also. Good for an hour or so visit.
(Translated by Google) Pleasantly surprised, my wife and I really enjoyed the various exhibits, especially those for children under 18 (some geniuses). Highly recommended, regardless of your art taste, and it's free. (Original) Gratamente sorprendidos, a mí mujer y a mi nos gustó mucho las diferentes exposiciones, sobre todo las de menores de 18 años (unos genios). Muy recomendable su visita, te guste más o menos el arte, y encima gratuito.
(Translated by Google) Free, surprising, atypical museum. To see beautiful pottery paintings and statues for fallas festivals. A very beautiful cloister. (Original) Musée gratuit, surprenant, atypique. Pour voir de beaux tableaux des poteries et des statues pour les fêtes de fallas. Un très beau cloître.
(Translated by Google) MucBe always surprises me. It seems like it puts on small exhibitions, but its artists are leading figures in contemporary art. This is what happens with the exhibition "Prints in Transition" from the Martinez Guerricabeitia Collection. Beautiful pieces of graphic art by leading figures: Roy Lichtenstein, Saura, Grupo Crónica,...highly recommended. (Original) MucBe siempre me sorprende. Parece que prepara exposiciones pequeñas pero sus artistas son grandes referentes dentro del arte contemporáneo. Esto es lo que sucede con la Exposición 'Estampas en transición' Colección Martinez Guerricabeitia. Piezas preciosas de arte gráfico de figuras de primer nivel: Roy Lichtenstein, Saura, Grupo Crónica,....muy recomendable.
