The Costa Blanca is committed to tourism, something shown by the unquestionable variety and quality of its leisure options. Water and safari parks, aquariums, craft fairs, caves, boat trips and an endless list of sports options, from scuba-diving and cycling to hot-air balloon rides and bungee jumping, mean that the Costa Blanca’s leisure options are almost infinite.

There are also several theme parks. Among the most innovative is Terra Natura in Benidorm, where you can visit, study and get to know Earth’s animal life and civilisations. Conceived as a journey, the leisure complex transports you to three continents – America, Asia and Europe.

Benidorm is also home to the Terra Mítica theme park. The historical cultures of the Mediterranean are its guiding theme: Greece, Rome, Egypt, Iberia and The Islands are the areas into which this interesting and entertaining theme park is divided. There are two more major leisure parks in Benidorm: Mundomar, with aquatic animals and exotic birds, and Aqualandia, Europe’s largest water park.
