Places of Interest:
The nearby historic town of Denia is well worth a visit. The ancient castle remains, built into edge of the mountain, overlook the fabulous marina. There are plenty of interesting shops to visit, along with a wide choice of restaurants and Tapas bars.
Valencia, Spain's 3rd largest city, is well worth a visit for those wanting to travel a little further. It can be reached in just over an hour by car and is packed with museums, art galleries, exhibitions and churches.
Guadalest, Spain's most visited village is also about an hours drive away. A small white-washed village, it has been built into the mountain rock and provides an interested day trip.
Family Days out:
The El Vergel Safari Park is found near to Monte Pego - just a few minutes drive away. Here you can drive through the park and see lions, tigers, ostrich and zebra. On foot you can walk through the Avery, the petting yard, and see the monkeys and baboons. There are seal and parrot shows to watch and along with the rides on the Go-carts, and bounces on the trampolines for the kids, this makes a great day out.
Benidorm, which is around a 35 minute drive away, has four major Theme parks. Terra Mitiica lets you experience thrilling rides. Terra Natura, a 'global' zoo, allows the visitor to journey to Africa, America, Europe and Asia all in one day, with shows, mock-towns and views of the animals of the region on the way. Aqualandia is a large water park with pools and water chutes - try the Black Hole! And finally, Mundamar offers dolphin, seal and bird shows, along with a large variety of animals and reptiles to enjoy.
