The palm groves of Elche offer a cool haven in the heat of the day.

Terra Mitica:

Mundomar:

Sporting Facilities:

For the more adventurous, the larger Aqua Parks at Torrevieja and Benidorm are within easy reach. This is also an excellent area for: horse riding, walking, birdwatching and sailing; very popular with windsurfers who usually travel to the Mar Menor, which is considered the best location for this sport. Coat yourself in the mud from the shores here, which they say improves rheumatism and arthritis!

There are salt flats in abundance both at Torrevieja and Santa Pola. These provide a sanctuary for many sea birds including pink flamingos. So if you are interested in bird watching or just like walking, these areas make an idyllic location.
