  • Aqualandia water park in Benidorm - Fun for all the family!

     

     

    Aqualandia – one of Benidorm’s water Parks open every summer season to the delight of young, old, families and teens.

    When Aqualandia opened in 1985 it was the first of its kind in Spain.  Covering 150,000 square metres the water park has everything you need for a great day out, whether with family or friends.

    There are areas especially designed for young children plus all the pools, slides and attractions that you will never tire of and want to repeat many times throughout the day.Amazonas

    The park has picnic areas and restaurants offering everything from a three course meal to pizzas, burgers and BBQ, ice creams, soft drinks and coffee.  There is a changing area with lockers to store your clothes in, showers, a cash dispenser, a currency exchange service and a first aid post located by the snack bar with a doctor and nurse on duty and daily shows in the amphitheatre. 

    Lifeguards are clearly visible at all the rides and pools and they will inform you of the correct posture to take on each ride.  Some of the rides have a height limit for children on their own 1.20m or 1.25m depending on the ride.   

    There are slides and attraction to suit all tastes.  Take a ride down the Rapids:  twisting and turning along the route as you float on a giant inflatable ring carried along by a current.   

    The Black Hole -  an adventure you can take alone or with a friend  through a black tube, sliding down in  the dark on a single or double float.

    Another popular area in the park is the wave pool, surrounded by sun beds with shaded areas the depth is gradual.    At regular intervals the wave machine is activated creating waves in the pool just like the sea.

    The Amazon circuits the park and has a gentle current to carry you along, so just  lie back and drift along or hire one of the giant rings for the day to use on all the rides and attractions.

    Splash – travel down the slide head first on a special mat.  Feel the thrill, the speed and make a splash!

    The Big Bang is the only one of its kind in Europe.  Three different slides of varying heights the highest one allows you to experience a free fall - a must for thrill seekers!!  Toboganes

    If you love speed, the Kamikazi is is the ride for you.   Hurtle down one of these two slides.  If you enjoyed the first one then try the other! 

    Zig Zag.  Five slides to try each one slightly different from the last.

    The mini Zig Zag is perfect for children, even better is that mum and dad can slide down with them.

    Niagara is a large pool with waterfalls, caves and an area to permit bathing for people with disabilities. 

    The Jacuzzi Iguazu is designed for you to relax, soak away the stress and take some time for yourselves.

    The Lagoon is an adventure playground equipped with zip lines, nets, rings, and slides. 

    Adventure land is the area specially designed for young children, shallow water with mini slides, ball pools, fountains and water features.

    Pistas Blandas.  Five different slides made from a softer material than the others.  Try all of them to see which one you prefer. 

    Aqualandia has attractions you will never get tired of and that you will repeat many times during the day, plus all the services you need to make a great family day out!

  • Three young Lemurs born in Mundomar Benidorm

    Mundomar the Theme park in Benidorm is celebrating the birth of three young Ring Tailed Lemurs.lemurs

    The young pups were born during the night and since then their proud mothers, sisters Pili and Ani have watched their young closely.

    Grandmother Lemur “Bella” has been helping her daughters with their pups. Bella is the Matriarch and leader of the troop of lemurs in Mundomar. Bella remains with her daughters showing them how to care for the young pups.

    One of the Lemurs gave birth to two of the pups and according to staff from the park mothers and young are doing well.

    Mundomar has a good track record breeding this species, last year for example four pups were born in the park. This is due to the special care taken with their diet and habitat which is as close to how it would be in the wild as possible.

    The Vet at the Benidorm park is treating both mothers with calcium enriched water to aid them during lactation and has also increased the amount of fruit and vegetables in their diet.

    Soon these young pups will be playing with the rest of the troop under the watchful eye of their mothers and Grandmother Bella.

  • An interview with Antonio Marco from the Museum in Guadalest

    My work will surprise you.


    Antonio Marco is an art lover who is fortunate to be able to make a living from the thing he loves most.  He moved to Guadalestfrom Requena with the consent and support of his family to open his first museum which proved so successful that he opened a second one in the town of Polop de la Marina.

    Born in Yecla, and with years of experience under his belt, Antonio looks back fondly on the early days of his career.

    In 1982 Antonio opened the doors to his first museum with dreams of earning a living, today those dreams are as strong as ever and he remains as passionate about his work now as he was back then.

     

    How do you define your work and yourself as an artist?

    I am an artist, craftsman, miniaturist and collector.  I emphasize collector as none of my work is for sale.  Each and every one of my pieces is displayed in the museums for the public to enjoy.  My work was born from my religious beliefs and from a desire to create my own nativity scene.  The corner stone of my work is my faith.


    What is special about your work when compared to the work of others?antoniomarco
    Today there are many internationally recognized artists in this field and others who do similar work.   The difference is that their work is not on display and therefore can not be fully appreciated by the general public.  You do not need to understand any particular form of art to appreciate my work.  It will surprise and fascinate you.


    Why did you choose Guadalest as the location for your first museum?

    I took a risk entering the art world as I have no formal artistic education.  My first piece took eight years to complete which was a replica of the Church of the Saviour in Requena.   I then started work on a Nativity Scene which was to be exhibited and the funds collected donated to the Charity Organisation “Manos Unidos”.

    Given the success of  this, I started to create more pieces and the Nativity Scene grew and grew, creating a problem due to lack of space     I needed somewhere where I could exhibit my work, so I studied the area from Cullera to Torrevieja looking for the ideal location and decided on Guadalest because of its natural beauty.

     

    What made you decide to expand and open another museum in Polop?

    The museum in Guadalest had become too small from an artistic point of view so I had no option but to open another museum which has recently celebrated its tenth anniversary.

    The idea of the second museum was to be able to show all the pieces that did not fit in the museum in Guadalestand it allowed me to exhibit the complete pieces .

    The museum has 700 square metres of exhibits with six different themes covering religion, agriculture, trains, and important Valencian buildings

    What materials do you use to create your pieces?

    I advertise my work as being unique both in design and with the materials used to complete it.  Anyone who builds models or nativity scenes generally uses cork, cardboard, plaster and paint.  I try to be original so I use stone, tiles, wood and iron.  Each detail made with the appropriate material and assembled piece by piece.

  • Scuba Diving in the Costa Blanca

    Discover a whole new world under the sea


    Greenwich Diving is a scuba diving club located in Altea, run by a group of professionals that bring their love of the sea and the marine life to all diving fans.

    Geoff Stenhouse has been one of the partners since 2009, when they took over the company from its former owners.  They had to start from scratch and worked hard to revive the business that was in decline.  Today they provide their services to all scuba diving fans.

    You explained how you had to start from scratch Geoff,how many people now work at Greenwich Diving?

    At the moment there are 6 people working in the club.  These include diving instructors and patrons at the port. The latter have the advantage that they hold a permit to navigate boats of various sizes, which gives added security to our customers.

    What qualifications are needed to work at Greenwich Diving?aowd

    Well, we are members of PADI, the largest and most important company specializing in scuba diving in the world. . They hold courses at all levels for people who want to make scuba diving their profession.

    What are most popular activities with your customers?

    There are two very popular activities.  The first is what is known as the “Baptism” which is basically your first scuba diving experience.  The second, our training courses which vary from basic training, instructor, advanced, rescue and master courses.  In 2010 we gave nearly 500 courses and we are very proud that our clients were satisfied with our services.

    You are well known for the environmental work you carry out. Tell us a little bit about that.

    We work with several different towns, mainly with Altea on various initiatives.  One of the most unusual ones is during the fiestas of L ‘Olla.  Once the firework displays are over we clean the seabed, collecting any debris free of charge.  We also give lectures in local schools on marine conservation, maintaining the cleanliness of our beaches etc….

    We received an award for the Best Diving Centre in Spain in 2009 and another in 2010 for our conservation work and further education.

    Is there a specific type of client that comes to the diving centre?

    About 82% of our clients are Spanish and the rest Norwegian, Dutch, French, German and Russian.  Our instructors speak several different languages allowing us to widen the market for our product and ensure that all clients enjoy their diving experience.

    We open all year round, so the clients that dive in the winter months are generally local and enjoy special discounts.  In the summer we have many clients from Madrid and the Basque Country.  These clients come to us recommended by friends; word of mouth is our best publicity.

    Speaking of advertising, what other tactics do you use?

    We have billboards in various locations, adverts on different websites and we have recently joined Facebook, with plans to get 12 million visits in 1 month. We would like to become a social club as well as a diving club, where lovers of the sport can meet and share experiences.  We have also started a forum where clients can converse and arrange their visits to the club.

    Are there anyrequirements for people wishing to dive?dup

    The minimum age is 14 years but there is no maximum age as this depends on the physical condition of each individual.  We also have a programmed activities specifically aimed at children and young people.

    Where do your activities take place?

    Here in the bay of Altea, northward up to the Peñon de Ifachand then southwards to the Island Mediana.  The Benidorm Islandor the Journalists Island as it is also known is perfect for diving due to the profound depth of the water in that area.

    What is a typical day like?

    We generally start at midday. The team give a lecture to ensure clients know the details of each dive and knowledge of the area they will be diving in.

    Each dive takes about 50 minutes then at approx 12:30 o 13:00 we return to the port.  There are also afternoon dives at 14:00, 16:00 and 18:00 hours and we offer the possibility of night dives.

    What equipment is needed?

    All our equipment is new, clothes, bottles, vests, etc. Many clients bring their own equipment, but we can provide tourists with anything they need.  Another unusaul fact  is that our boat is made of aluminum, unlike other boats of similar characteristics used for diving.

    Have a look at our discount voucher for the diving centre (click on discounts) , just print it out and take it with you.

    Each dive takes about 50 minutes then at approx 12:30 o 13:00 we return to the port.  There are also afternoon dives at 14:00, 16:00 and 18:00 hours and we offer the possibility of night dives.

    What equipment is needed?

    All our equipment is new, clothes, bottles, vests, etc. Many clients bring their own equipment, but we can provide tourists with anything they need.  Another unusaul fact  is that our boat is made of aluminum, unlike other boats of similar characteristics used for diving.

    Have a look at our discount voucher for the diving centre (click on discounts) , just print it out and take it with you.

  • Terra Natura

    Two ancient legends at Terra Natura.The wheel of death

    This spring the South American legend of Quetzacoal and the Asian Myth of Gophal are included in the new programme at Terra Natura, the animal and nature park in Benidorm .  The shows which will be performed until September have been well received by the visiting public during Easter.

     

    The first show is based on the story of Prince Ghopal who yearned to fly like the Halcons.  A performer steps into a wheel which turns as he walks inside it.  This attraction is sometimes called the Wheel of Death and is unique in Spain.

     

    The entertaining programme then represents the legend of Quetzacoal.  This legend tells the story of the Aztec God Hiuchipol and his mother Tightrope artiststhe Goddess Cocatue.  A group of tightrope artists perform high above the crowd, testing their agility, balance and concentration.  The legend they have chosen to represent for this act, relates the story of the God Huichipol´s two brothers who are transformed into exotic birds as punishment for their bad behaviour.  In Aztec mythology, this transformation is justified by the fact that some exotic birds can talk like people.
