Theme Parks in Benidorm Costa Blanca Spain

Guide to the theme parks located in the tourist resort of Benidorm on Spain's Costa Blanca.

BENIDORM THEME PARK

Spending your vacation at a theme parked resort has become a very popular way to spend your vacation. Similar to Orlando in Florida, with its Disney theme parks, Sea World and water parks, Benidorm has put itself on the map by presenting Terra Mitica, Terra Natura and Aqua Natura, Aqualandia and Mundomar. There are many theme parks in Spain but no location has as many close together as Benidorm has.

HOW TO GET TO BENIDORM

To spend your vacation in Benidorm you will need to book your flights to fly into Alicante, Murcia or Valencia airports. Hiring a car is also a must, as everything and everywhere is spread out. There is a bus and tram service once you are in Benidorm that will take you to Aqualandia and Mundomar for free if you purchase your tickets at the station, but Terra Mitica and Terra Natura are situated on the outskirts on the hills not far from the AP7 or N332 so your own transport is necessary.
