This picturesque nature reserve features brackish saltwater lagoons, a nature center & wildlife.
It is great. The guys in La Casa del Parque are incredibly helpful and willing to help. The paths through the whole area and the observation cabins are very well kept. We got to see lots of different birds. I highly recommend it.
Daniel Alonso — Google review
So I don't want to give it a one star because it's not the Lagoon's fault that it was completely dried up when we visited. The buildings and ruins were very neat and well maintained. We had come to visit because of a book listing it under 1001 natural wonders to see and we're disappointed that the lagoon was missing and wasn't drawing all the birds that it usually does. Maybe next time!

Great birding area at the center of the Iberian Peninsula. In winter there are thousands of Geese including Pink-footed Geese and maybe other species as well. The surrounding dryland areas are home of some specialities such as the Great Bustard (biggest population of the peninsula) or the Black-bellied Sandgrouse among others. It is easily combined with a visit to other nearby birding spots suxh as the Laguna de la Nava.
Dani Valverde — Google review
Great visit for birdwatching either in summer or winter with close views of great Bustards and wetland birds

Zamora Castle, a grand fortress in the heart of the town, is a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture. The castle features well-preserved structures such as the Tribute Tower, gates, and moat. It has served various purposes throughout history including as a prison and court of justice. The castle offers free entry to visitors and guided tours that delve into its historical significance. Surrounded by Castle Park, it provides stunning views of the Douro River and the city.
Mi visita al castillo de Zamora fue una experiencia muy interesante y enriquecedora. Pude conocer la historia y la cultura de esta zona, así como disfrutar de las vistas panorámicas desde lo alto del castillo. El castillo está muy bien conservado y restaurado, y el museo ofrece una muestra variada y didáctica de la vida tradicional zamorana. El parador es un lugar acogedor y elegante, donde se puede degustar la gastronomía local. Recomiendo visitar el castillo de Zamora a todos los que quieran descubrir un lugar lleno de encanto e historia.

It is free! The castle is not very big, but it has good points of view inside the castle ruins, and spectacular views from the top of outer walls. There are places to sit on the top of the walls too. It is a relaxing place to go.

El castillo esta chulo pero más por lo imponente que parece por fuera y las vistas desde arriba que por lo que se ve por dentro.
Pero ha sido tan modificado y se ha adaptado tanto para que sea turístico que ha perdido parte de su esencia.
La entrada es gratis y eso suma puntos.
Pero sino fuera por lo primero y por ser gratuita la entrada…

The castle is cool but more because of how imposing it looks on the outside and the views from above than what is seen on the inside.
But it has been so modified and has been adapted to be touristic that it has lost part of its essence.
Admission is free and that adds points.
But if it were not for the first thing and for the fact that the entrance is free…

Beautiful Romanesque collegiate church whose facade has been recently restored as well as the entrance portico.
Worth the look both daylight and night with the cute illumination.
Inside stands out an unusual sculpture of a Pregnant Virgin. It also deserves the visit, the Magesty Portico with its original polychromy, a little museum and the painting 'La Virgen de la Mosca'.

(Translated by Google) We arrived in passing on the first day and went in to ask. María Montserrat, who attended to us, was a delight at all times. We spent approximately twenty minutes with her while she explained everything there was to see in Tordesillas. Then José Luis appeared and we were chatting with him in the same way. It is incredible how much they know about the history of the treaty and Doña Juana (not the crazy one) I of Castile. They both tell it with a historical rigor that is appreciated, in addition to putting you in the situation and knowing the background (such as the Treaty of "Alcasobas"). A delight to listen to them. (We met them on a Tuesday, and on Friday we took the guided tour that took place in the gardens where the old Royal Palace was located). A must-visit for anyone interested in getting to know this key Valladolid town in the medieval history of Spain up close. Thank you.

Es increíble todo lo que conocen de la historia del tratado y de Doña Juana (no la loca) I de Castilla. Lo cuentan ambos con un rigor histórico que es de agradecer, además de ponerte en situación y que conozcas los antecedentes (como el Tratado de "Alcasobas"). Una delicia escucharlos. (Los conocimos un martes, y el viernes hicimos la visita guiada que transcurría en los jardines de donde se situaba el antiguo Palacio Real). Visita obligada para todo aquél que le interese conocer de cerca esta localidad vallisoletana clave en la historia medieval de España. Gracias.

The Iglesia Conventual de San Pablo, located in Valladolid, Spain, is a notable religious establishment with an Isabelline-Gothic style church and former convent featuring a finely crafted facade flanked by two towers. Originally commissioned by Cardinal Juan de Torquemada between 1445 and 1468, the church underwent various extensions and renovations until 1616.

Lovely historic building from the outside, not so impressive on the inside
The art museum Colegio de San Gregorio - Museo Nacional de Escultura (colección histórica), located in a former church, showcases both medieval and modern sculptures along with Spanish oil paintings. The museum's remarkable sculpted facade, crafted by master sculptor Gil de Siloe, features intricate details such as coats of arms, crowned lions, sculpted twigs, naked children playing in a pomegranate tree, and long-haired men holding maces.
Installed in the San Gregorio College, founded by Friar Alonso de Burgos , confessor of Queen Isabel, and which in itself is an outstanding work of Isabelian gothic style . Again, building and its contents are rivals for attention. The entrance attributed to Gil de Siloe and Simon de Colonia, is high high point of Spanish art. In the interior, the visitor will delight in the unique and surprising pieces from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries . Works by Berruguete, Felipe Vigarny, Diego de Siloe and Juan de Juni fill to overflowing the halls in this magnificent presentation of Spanish statues.

The Plaza Mayor de Valladolid is a significant historical landmark in Spain, boasting impressive local architecture and culture. It is one of the country's largest public squares and was formerly a bustling market. Renamed after the 16th century, visitors can enjoy walking around the plaza and take in its attractions. Located near another famous plaza, Plaza Zorrilla, it features ornate buildings with arcades and an outdoor cafe that adds to its lively atmosphere.
Very nice place, it was a bit quiet when we arrived, nothing happens here between 3pm and 8pm.

Parque Campo Grande is the largest urban park in Valladolid, Spain, offering a charming retreat for both locals and visitors. The park features a variety of attractions including a small pond, playground, fountains, marble sculptures, and an ornamental lake with swans. Paseo Principe is a regal mall within the park adorned with iron gas lights and surrounded by lush foliage from over 60 different tree species.
Visited 24/11. Lovely walk through the gardens in the snow. Nice to see all the wildlife including the peacocks! Squirrel's tried to climb into my pocket, so beware they are very friendly. Very pleasant walk.

El parque es una delicia. Muy bien cuidado y en verano baja la temperatura que da gusto. Los animalillos sueltos de lujo. Lo malo que les han dado tanto de comer que vienen a buscarte. Por lo demás un perfecto lugar para pasear.

The park is a delight. Very well cared for and in summer the temperature drops which is pleasant. Luxury loose animals. The bad thing that they have been given so much to eat that they come looking for you. Otherwise a perfect place to walk.

Estupendo parque para un agradable paseo. Muy interesante buscar las distintas esculturas que hay repartidas por el. Tiene una zona dedicada a juegos (baloncesto futbol, patines, ets ) que a mi modo de ver está demasiado cerca y sin barreras de las zonas de paseo por lo se corre el riesgo de ir paseando y recibir un balonazo. El monumento a Colón del final del paseo es espectacular, aunque un tanto recargado. Agradable paseo con terrazas muy animadas al otro lado de la calle.

Great park for a nice walk. Very interesting to look for the different sculptures that are scattered around it. It has an area dedicated to games (basketball, soccer, skates, etc.) which, in my opinion, is too close and without barriers to the walking areas, so there is a risk of walking and receiving a ball. The Columbus monument at the end of the promenade is spectacular, although a bit overdone. Pleasant walk with lively terraces on the other side of the street.

A beautiful park, not even busy in the city center. It's everything you could want in a park I suppose.. You can feed the red squirils by hand, go on a boat ride and feed the ducks too.. Take pictures of the peacocks. They tell you not to feed on signs, but everyone does.. Clean with no dogs allowed, good play area for kids. Loved it!

A lovely park with many walkways and lush green trees. Numerous peacocks (& hens) are interesting and call frequently. Squirrels also hop about and are tame, especially if you have nuts! Fountains and several statues also make a walk there interesting. A roses garden adds colour in one area.

Without a doubt this is one of the greatest places in Valladolid. A park, full of nature and animals right in the middle of the city center. Incredible place to go with kids so they can get close to raw nature while still being well taken care of. Full of benches to sit down and relax a bit.

Historic castle with walls dating from the 12th century, a tower & an exhibition & visitor center.
Super cool subterranean area. Great guide explaining everything well (in Spanish). But u should buy your guided tickets in advance or else maybe you only get to wander around the courtyard (at least its free though)
Guy Horton — Google review
For such a big and impressive castle, the short free visit was a bit disappointing. I'd have liked very much to take a full guided tour, but the person at the ticket counter didn't even offer me any and I only learned about the existence of guided tours later. It's a real pity to see that they've got such a well-conserved medieval castle here but show that little interest in presenting it to visitors.

Well, we slept through our stop on the train and arrived in Medina del Campo, and there wasn't going to be another train for 4 hours.

Paweł Kranzberg — Google review
While part of the courtyard can be visited for free, the tour of the castle is great with abundant information on the defensive structures of the castle for very little money.
For even less money you can climb to the top of the tower and receive more information about the history of the castle.
However, I am not sure if they offer a tour in English.
There is free parking right in front of the castle as is the information - entering the grounds from the street it's easy to miss if you keep looking at the castle instead of turning to the right. The pavilion with the information also has a small archeological site and restrooms.

Av. Castillo, s/n, 47400 Medina del Campo, Valladolid, Spain
The Theme Park Mudéjar of Castile and Leon is a fascinating attraction featuring model reproductions of historical castles, churches, and monuments. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the architectural wonders of Spain in miniature form. Visitors can wander through some of the larger structures and enjoy watching miniature trains traverse the park. This low-key activity is perfect for families with children, providing an educational experience that is both fun and informative.
Model villages eat your heart out. This gem is well worth a visit.

I enjoyed the miniature trains driving around the park. A visit takes about an hour, and is a pretty low-key activity. There is really nothing else there, but the train set and the tiny castles and monuments, but I am easily amused.

Castillo de Coca
It was built in 1453 by the illustrious bishop of Avila, Don Alonso de Fonseca, under the direction of the architect Ali Caro. Upon his death, his brother continued to work. In 1462, Coca had a mint to issue Castilian and Portuguese coins that helped pay for the workers involved in building the castle.
The Coca Castle is one of the most beautiful examples of Spanish Mudéjar Gothic art. Its construction amazes and loves it for the first time, as in every brick form it expresses an architectural ensemble as original and innovative as few people.
It highlights the unique beauty of its rooms, represented by beautiful Mudéjar geometric decorations made of stucco and paintings, which also gives us a unique and unrepeatable legacy. Another peculiarity is that it is not constructed on a hill as is usually the case with forts of this type, as its defense system benefits from the cliff terrain, which acts as a seat for this castle that stands over a wide and deep area. The trench. A love story in which Marquis Senetti starred .

An amazing castle in the heart of Spain. Constructed in the 15th century and has been considered to be one of the best examples of Spanish Mudejar brickwork which incorporates Moorish Muslim design and construction with Gothic architecture. Definitely worth a visit if you happen to be near.

Amazing. One of the best stops on my Spanish trip.
I hired a car in Madrid and drove out to Coca to visit this stunning castle.
Not only was it visually incredible, but it was also fully accessible, I was able to walk the walls inside and out, explore the interior, and even climb up and out onto the roof.
If that's not amazing enough, I was able to do that was barely anyone else present as the castle is aittle off the beaten path.
The town of Coca is definitely worth a wander too, it's beautiful and historic - even scoring a mention in the Astrix and Obelisk comics.
Definitely one of my highlights!

Review Title: Majestic Beauty in Coca!
The charm of Spain shines brightly in Castillo de Coca! This Gothic-Mudejar fortress located in Coca city is nothing short of a historical masterpiece. From the moment you set eyes on the castle, it's an awe-inspiring sight!
Whether you are an architecture connoisseur or a history enthusiast, the castle's blend of Gothic-Mudejar design will surely command your admiration. The intricate designs and well-preserved walls are testament to the brilliant craftsmanship of the era. The fortress's well-preserved state allows visitors to truly step back in time, and you can almost hear the echoes of historic Spanish events.
The surrounding beauty of the castle grounds is an added charm, ensuring a feeling of peace and tranquillity during your visit. The weather in Coca is always inviting, making the visit to the castle even more enjoyable.
Lastly, the castle staff, they are informative, friendly, truly enhancing the overall visitor experience. Don't miss out on the guided tour offered, highly educational and engaging.
In conclusion, Castillo de Coca is a must-visit attraction in Spain. It’s a perfect blend of historical grandeur, architectural brilliance, stunning beauty, and hospitable people. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

A really interesting place to visit with information provided in English and an English speaking man on reception. It must be said that the stairs up the towers are challenging with large risers and no hand rails. But we are two 74 year old not particularly fit pensioners and we managed OK. It is really worth the effort.

Avenida Banda de Música, 40480 Coca, Segovia, Spain
This is a castle that houses grains from centuries ago. The Queen Isabel (la católica) was raised in this castle. It was almost in ruins and was partially rebuilt by the Spanish government. Children can visit with their school and it is open to visit by others only a few times a year. If you can go, I totally recommend it, if anything for the muesum and the history. Parking is easy in the lot near the castle.

Cuatro Postes Lookout, also known as Los Cuatro Postes, is a remarkable landmark just a short drive from Ávila. It features a striking cross surrounded by four connected posts and is considered a sacred shrine and popular pilgrimage site. The viewpoint offers the best panoramic view of Ávila, making it an ideal spot to see the city's walls.
A fantastic pit stop on the way to Avila to tour the walls. Breathtaking views of the landscape and the walls. More historical places in Avila for Saint Teresa who apparently tried to runaway and was stopped here by her uncle.

There is a walkway 1,700 metres long on top of the iconic city walls of Ávila, open to the public. It is believed to be Spain’s first Gothic cathedral.

Cool spot to get a view of the city wall. We walked here from the Avila Parador at night. The walk is not challenging and you can get there from the street or from a lower level along the river. This seems to be a hangout for the locals as well. There were a few groups of people just hanging out by their cars listening to music.
They also have the Abila letters for a good photo opportunity. Enjoy y'all!

Perfect place to get a good pic of the walls and city from the distance. After you definitely want to go across the bridge and get a closer look at this UNESCO heritage site. If it is sunny in the morning, it is very difficult to get a good picture. Go when it is cloudy or in the late afternoon.

Basically you need a car or a taxi to arrive (public transportation is scarce and non-reliable) but hey! Totally worthy, especially when in sunset when they are about to turn the lights of the walls on. Avila is such a magical place which is a perfect day trip from Madrid. That doesn’t mean you can stay the night but try to come in Spring or Fall, as most restaurants or touristic attraction will have reduced hours in August or the Winter. The viewpoint is a little bit chilly at night if not in Summer, so bring a jacket!

Rhis was the morning half of our two city tour. We all agreed that Avila was the better of the two locations. The town was wonderful and the tour was excellent.
The Walls of Avila are an impressive fortification consisting of walls made from granite, sandstone, and brick that stretch for 2.5km and date back to the 12th century. They were built during the reign of King Alfonso VI as he reconsolidated the Castilian regions from the Moors. A must-see landmark in Avila, they can be accessed via the Tourist Office in Casa CarniceriasCasa Carnicerias.

Amazing walls with a lot of history and a beautiful thing to behold, especially from outside. If you're visiting the inside, you'll get some nice views of the town thought.
Highly recommended, however, I'm giving them 4 starts because a big segment of the wall is closed and not maintained, you can see the grass growing on it.

I went to Ávila on business. Everyone talked about the city walls before I went. I had no idea what they were talking about. I didn't read any touristic literature, I just booked my hotel and went...but when I saw the walls, I was seriously impressed!! The Muralla de Ávila or Ávila City Walls are like the biggest castle you ever saw... and some of the best preserved. They are HUGE. You can't walk along the ramparts the whole way round but you can circumnavigate the walls on foot and it's well worth doing. I walked the walls one evening and I did a flying visit to the ramparts on my last day before flying back home. I walked along all the walls that I was allowed to walk before getting sent down by the security guards as they were closing!!! The bits you can walk are not connected but you can buy one ticket which gets you into/onto both. It's not wheelchair friendly and large parts of the wall have wooden privacy screens erected on the inside of the wall to protect the modesty of residents. Some of the tower ramparts are sealed off I presume for the same reason - so you can't go playing Peeping Tom and looking into residential apartments. The above said, you can really get a feel for medieval Spain up there and quite frankly, I've never seen such an impressive feat of engineering. Well worth a visit.

At three different points you can buy tickets for 5 euros to go up on the walls of Avila. We went up in the middle and turned east, which is the best part in our opinion. This goes to the cathedral and along the basilique. The second leg goes a long way down the hill and exiting there will mean you'll have to climb up in the inner part of the city to get to the restaurants and the other sights.

The Walls of Ávila in Madrid stand as a remarkable blend of medieval opulence and architectural brilliance. These ancient fortifications encircle the quaint town, presenting a captivating sight that transports visitors to historical epochs. Imposing and meticulously preserved, the walls instill a profound sense of admiration for their historical importance.
Strolling along the cobblestone paths atop the walls, one can take in the breathtaking views of Ávila's idyllic scenery. The strategically positioned towers and battlements not only offer insights into the town's military history but also provide a unique perspective to appreciate the surrounding natural beauty. The Walls of Ávila seamlessly combine historical richness with scenic charm, making it an essential destination for those seeking a captivating journey through time within the heart of Madrid.

The Catedral de Ávila is a austere Romanesque-Gothic cathedral that was constructed within the city walls. Built in the 12th century, its apse formed part of the defensive structure of the walls. The main facade is relatively modest in appearance, but features a striking Gothic window and tower. As Spain's first Gothic cathedral, it is an imposing monument with surprises to be found inside. The interior boasts beautiful stonework and houses a museum worth visiting.
La entrada cuesta 10 euros si incluyes la visita al campanario que, para mi, ha sido lo mejor de la visita. La catedral es muy bonita y con la audio guía se hace muy bien el recorrido. La visita al campanario no está recomendada para personas con movilidad reducida ya que hay que subir 103 escalones en espiral y muy estrechos. Nuestra guía Teresa ha hecho que la visita sea muy amena con la cantidad de datos que nos ha dado.

The Cathedral of Ávila in Madrid is a sublime masterpiece that stands as a testament to architectural brilliance and spiritual grandeur. This awe-inspiring structure, surrounded by the medieval charm of Ávila, captivates visitors with its imposing Gothic design and intricate details. As you approach the cathedral, the towering spires and ornate facades create a sense of reverence, inviting you into a sacred space.
Once inside, the cathedral's interior unfolds with breathtaking stained glass windows, finely carved altars, and a serene atmosphere that resonates with history. The craftsmanship displayed in every corner is a testament to the dedication of those who built this sacred haven. The Cathedral of Ávila not only serves as a religious landmark but also as a cultural treasure, offering a profound and enriching experience for those who appreciate the intersection of art, history, and spirituality in the heart of Avila.

Breathtaking cathedral. Well worth checking out. Huge, well preserved, unique too. Seeing churches in my travels is my thing, this one truly stands out.
Jay Finesilver — Google review
The cathedral itself is relatively well preserved and has a plethora of different history inside. From a beauty standpoint, it isn't one of the pretty ones. It took them 400 years to build and there were stylistic changes throughout that can be seen. At times, they just clash. However, the visit itself is super refreshing. As opposed to most cathedrals where you get to see the inside and take a few pictures, here, you get to walk the entire complex and see the art it holds and a bunch of history. A QR audio guide is also a great companion. 5€ entrance fee.

Castle old town within walls with hotels and restaurants, similar to Obidos, Portugal. Parking available within walls or outside as well. You can walk the walls of the castle and the cathedral exterior is massive.
It has great history and interesting architecture. It has been restored, and you can go all the way up to the bell tower. The entrance fee is very low.

Although currently it is closed, if you had the opportunity, don't miss the visit.
Don't get confused about the humble appearance of this place.
This half-castle, half-church, took an important part on the history of Spain.
If you have also the chance that someone explains you the history of this place I would ask him/her as many questions as possible, you will not be disappointed.

Castle is really pretty from the outside and the church is nice enough, but the inside of the castle is mostly blocked off. You can't climb to the top tower but you can go to two slightly lower terraces with amazing views. Not amazing enough to drive all the way from Madrid for, but if you're passing by the 2€ price is worth it even if it's just for the views.

C. Subida al Castillo, 8, 40370 Turégano, Segovia, Spain
The Alcazar of Segovia is a well-preserved, ornate medieval castle that overlooks the old city of Segovia. It has served as the official residence for the family of Emperor and is now home to an armoury museum.
This Castle is IMPRESSIVE! Totally worth the visit 💯. The views from the top are amazing specially the natural scenery around it. This medieval castle was the real inspiration for Disney World Castle, if you notice. All the rooms inside are beautifully layout and decorated, the armor and weapons replicas and objects and things from that time are so real that you can easily imagine life in these times.
Pay attention to all the details and work on the walls and ceilings on each room, really gorgeous! And the town of Segovia is one of my favorites, such a cute and vibrant town, love it 💗💟💗
Gioconda Vidal — Google review
Most people walk around inside the town, but you should get out of the stone wall and enjoy the view from outside. It would not disappoint your kids to bring them to the castle which is distinctive by virtue of its shape - like the bow of a ship. Has served as a royal palace for 22 monarchs, it has a rich history and beautiful art and architecture.
Dan Lu — Google review
Amazing place with wonderful panoramic view of the city.
Worth to go and recommend to buy a ticket in advance via official website.
There are 3 parts inside this palace.
The tower part is included in ticket choice but more expensive. The view from the tower is great.
So worth to go. 👍👍👍

A nice twelve century building. You can choose to walk up the hill or take a tourist bus. The way up the hill is amazing, the views are incredible and is worth it.
You can take a lot of photos outside the castle and you can stroll along the small park. Many souvenir shops nearby, but many of them are expensive. I recommend the one just right outside the castle, it is cheaper and has more souvenirs like magnets, postcards, clothes and more.

Iconic place in Segovia. It was nostalgic to visit it again after 40 years.
The aqua duct is so impressive. Walking through the old town was amazing.
Seniors be aware that it is a difficult walk. It is all up and steep down hill on cobbled streets. Difficult for people with reduced mobility.
The castle is awesome
A real life Disney castle!!
Views of the surrounding area are fantastic.

One of the most if not the most beautiful castle listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site just 75 mins away drive from Madrid! A must see when in Segovia! Visit at sunset during summer months (open til 8pm) to experience a romantic stroll through the palace walls and garden. Fun Fact: Apparently Walt Disney’s Cinderella’s Castle was inspired by this particular castle.
Charissa Cheong — Google review
Very impressive! Well maintained, you can't find any better than this in every aspect - location, imposing structure, romantic aura, great collection of ancient armoury... Having served as a royal palace, prison, military school and a number of other functions, It dates back from the XII century and is the inspiration to many other castles of more recente times. This is the real one!
Jorge Bernardo — Google review
Quite a beautiful castle. The walk is furthest from town so I would suggest visiting it first thing. We prebought tickets but it wasn't necessary during low season. The castle has nice details and rooms to look. The countryside view is wonderful and the towers and areas to explore are lovely.
LordPuppy RD — Google review
Definitely worth visiting is you're nearby. It is afterall another castle that inspired the Disney one! The outside is more spectacular than the inside but the view from top of the tower is worth doing.
Daniel Koh — Google review
Pretty nice castle to visit. Surrounded by a valley with a nice view. As of Nov 2022, it was 6 euros to go inside and an extra 3 euros totaling 9 to climb tower, which I would say is worth it. There is a bathroom / toilet immediately after entering in the cellar. No food or drinks sold inside. You buy tickets in the building next door on the left.
Ground floor takes about 15 -45 to explore , depending on how fast you go. The castle isn't that big, only about 9 rooms or so to visit, plus a gift shop.
The tower you have to pay for separately, and you're only allowed up in timed intervals as part of a group. (We learned this the hard way after missing a schedule departure, because our primary school Spanish was not up to par and the gift shop lady did not speak good English). They say it is 152 steps, and I'd approximate it is about 4-6 stories worth of staircases. IMO not an issue at all for any healthy kid or adult, but otherwise will pose an issue. The staircase is very narrow. View is pretty good, and I think if you're already here you might as well pay the extra few euros to check it out.
At a brisk pace through everything you could probably see it all in 1 hour (depends on the timing of the tower tour, it is set intervals at 00:15 and 00:45 as far as I can tell). A more moderate relaxed pace will probably land you at around 1-1.5 hours, maybe 2 hours if you take your time (as we did).
Glad we did it though, was a decent castle as far as European castles go.
Wynn Chen — Google review
Worth the trek to visit this beautiful castle. Tips buy the tower pass. You get great views of Segovia. But the best view of the cathedral is from the terrace behind the Alcazar's restaurant. It is said the towers were the inspiration for one of the Disney castles.

This is a great place to go see. The aqueduct, the castle, and the sites fit right into our plans to see multiple cities in the Madrid area. We did a two city tour in one day and it was well worth the time.
E Ram — Google review
Worthwhile trip with a very good display of ancient weapons through to the late 1700's. The tapestries are also very good. The structure itself looks more impressive from the outside and internally and is a lot smaller than a lot of other Alcazar that we have seen in Spain. Hence the 4 rating. Don't let that detract you from visiting as it still has a lot of merit.
Geoff Bryant — Google review
Beautiful and well kept grounds. Some absolutely gorgeous rooms with stained glass. The architecture is amazing! Don't forget to look up as some of the ceilings are spectacular. Don't spend time visiting the cellars as it doesn't live up to the beauty of the place.

Enjoyed the experience with my family of preteen to teens. The rooms were interesting and the views pretty. There are rooms with weapons and armor. Boys found that cool. Climbed to the top. Narrow stairs but nice view from top.

Beautiful place! Best to get the audio guide as it will explain the history about the place without being boring. Best views from the tower (you need to book it with the ticket purchase ) but bare in mind the way up might be challenging as it’s steep and staircase is spiral 🌀
Nathalie Joya — Google review
You probably need about 15-20 minutes to finish a tour inside the castle. I would not say this is the most beautiful castle, but it is still unique in its own way and is well maintained throughout the years. Some say that even the castle in Snow White was made mirroring this castle.
P.s. Toilets are found at the entrance of the castle. Free of charge.

Alcazar is a must visit for anyone touring the side trips around Madrid. Such a beautiful and magical castles full of fanciful spires and exhibits of knights in shining armor. Don’t forget to walk down the hill to see it from a distance too! Such a beautiful and memorable castle!

This fortress is a must see in Segovia.
Definitely worths to go through every room available for the visit, discover Christian and Muslim blend in architecture and designs.
The visit of the tour started at 13:00 and it was guided by staff. The views from the rooftop are breathtaking.
The site offers audioguide through an app, on visitors' phone. It's very convenient, no need to carry an additional device.
Ticket price with audioguide and tower visit was 13,50 EUR.

Pl. Reina Victoria Eugenia, s/n, 40003 Segovia, Spain
The Segovia Cathedral is a late-Gothic cathedral that was built in the 1500s. It is lined with 1300s stained glass and houses a museum of art. The cathedral is massive, and its stained glass windows are some of Europes newest original Gothic buildings.
Absolutely amazing cathedral. I've seen a lot of them and this was impressive. One of the largest in Spain. All of the side rooms with the ornate statutes and places to pray, the center areas where they keep the valuables and lead worship, and the old original section that did not get destroyed hundreds of years ago.. all is fantastic. The organs were really impressive.

You just can't go wrong with Spanish cathedrals. And this one is extraordinary inside and out. Built with Gothic and Renaissance components, it's truly a beautiful piece of artistic architecture. Do yourself a favor, and spend the extra 3 Euros to go on the tower tour. It's worth the climb for great views of the city amd surrounding countryside.

The Cathedral of Segovia is a breathtaking embodiment of Gothic architecture, standing as an awe-inspiring tribute to spiritual devotion and artistic grandeur. As you step inside, you're instantly enveloped in an atmosphere of serene reverence, the intricate stone carvings and expansive stained glass windows lending an almost ethereal quality to the air. It's a place that seems to capture the essence of centuries of faith and craftsmanship, extending a palpable connection to generations past.
But what made our visit truly unforgettable was receiving a blessing from the resident priest. It was an intimate and heartfelt moment that added a personal touch to the majesty surrounding us. In that instant, the immense edifice felt like a close-knit community, making us feel connected not just to a magnificent structure, but also to a living tradition of faith. The Cathedral of Segovia, with its towering spires and intricate details, was not just a place to admire from a distance, but a sacred space that welcomed us into its long-standing history of spirituality.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals you will ever see.
No matter if you are an art-lover or you are not one them, once you are in Segovia, you must visit this place.
I recommend you to join to a guided visit, so that you can understand the complexity of the building, how it was built, why it was built there, the challenges the builders had to face when it was built...
Also, do not miss the artworks inside the whole area;paintings, sculptures, cult-objects,...
This visit will make you understand not only the cathedral, but also the way of living of people from Segovia.
B. Hern. — Google review
Usually I’m very reluctant against paying access to see a religious monument, but here I took my chance, and it didn’t disappoint. Only once you are inside you will find out how gigantic this building really is. With different separate areas to discover and even a complete paintings exposition in the basement, or a nice patio you can’t see from the outside. Would definitely recommend
Tom de moor — Google review
The Cathedral is more impressive from the outside than inside, particularly with it's close proximity to the Plaza Mayor. When the lights come on at night, you can get some great photos from the Plaza.
Having said that, the Spanish do their cathedrals really well. The inside was not as well decorated as many others, but I still recommend a visit.
Geoff Bryant — Google review
Is a must see cathedral in Madrid. Worth that 68km drive to Segovia and just so many things to learn and appreciate. And again not able to show all the amazing pictures so you just have to come see for yourself
Jim Tan — Google review
Amazing Cathedral. There is an admission fee, you pay at the booth before you enter the cathedral. Advanced tickets are not necessary. You can also pay to go up the top of the belltower for beautiful views of Segovia. Be warned, the stairwell up to the top is long, dark, with many, many stairs. They break it out with small breaks on two floors. They show a video of the history of the cathedral on the first break. The second break is a tour of the bell tower quarters. The views from the top are beautiful and fully worth the effort to make it to the top.

The Cathedral de Segovia is an absolute masterpiece that took my breath away. Its towering spires, intricate façade, and stunning interior left me in awe. Stepping inside, I was greeted by a sense of serenity and the sheer magnitude of its architectural details. The intricate stained glass windows cast a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colors across the walls, creating a surreal atmosphere. The combination of Gothic and Renaissance styles seamlessly integrated in its design reflects the rich history and cultural evolution of the region. Climbing to the top of the tower provided a panoramic view of the city that was absolutely worth the effort. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply seeking a place of tranquility, the Cathedral de Segovia is an experience that will leave an indelible mark on your soul.

Luckily I got to visit the cathedral 1 hour before the guided tour to the tower, so I got a ticket for both.
Mrs. Eva was our guide and explained in detail at every step what was like to live in the tower.
There is also audioguide included and video projections for the tower part.
In the cathedral there is a religious paintings section where one can install an app and have audioguide on own smartphone.
The full ticket would include the Episcopal Palace as well, which is within walking distance from the cathedral.

The Cathedral is an impressive building on itself, admire history and art of Castilla and beyond within it's walls. The 2 baroque organs in the Choir are 2 of the most beautiful I've seen. Go up the 190 steps (in 3 stages) of the tower to know secrets and visit the bell-ringer"s home and admire the views towering Segovia and beyond. You're lucky if you get Santi as your guide!

This Cathedral is so beautiful and impressing from the outside we didn't have enough time to go in but I do recommend to try to make it. we were interested in the castle, so we will come back next time to see the cathedral.
The Plaza Mayor is a historic landmark in Segovia, featuring the cathedral and Juan Bravo theater. The square is popular for bars, cafes, and restaurants, and every Thursday there is a fair in the square.
Cathedral was closed when we visited, around 6 pm. Many restaurants around that place unfortunately Spanish habits of having dinner after 9 pm did not allow us to eat there as we were tired and dine usually around 7 pm

Plaza Mayor is the vibrant old center of Segovia. There are plenty of things to see and do, starting with the Cathedral, extending to Teatro Juan Bravo, and a few restaurants, pastry shops and cafe terraces. Plaza Mayor is also the location of a weekly farmer's market that temporarily transforms the neighborhood into an old-fashioned square. Local produce, fruits, flowers and local specialties are abundant on market day.

The main or best known public square in Segovia is much like the Plaza Mayor of major cities in Spain. Arranged around the square are lots of bars, cafes and restaurants. The Cathedral of Segovia is also here and the only slightly unusual thing about this plaza is that it has an old style bandstand.
Worth a stop for food.

Nice place to spend good time sipping coffee or wine or beer... Central location of Segovia, big open space surrounded by old house and food outlet. At one side, you will have view of Cathedral of Segovia, on other side old houses (some are over 100 years old),
Main location or venue for local cultural events as well.

Like so many Spanish city main squares vibrant with community activity. This one comes with the added feature oof the catederal that occupies one side of the square. Ringed by restaurants virtually dominated. by catering to tourists, don't head here if you need to do any serious food shopping. But for enjoyment this is the place to be in Segovia.
The Aqueduct of Segovia is a 2-tiered, 167 arched monument built during the Roman period in Segovia, Castile and León, Spain. It is one of the most iconic symbols of Roman architecture in Spain and its impressive scale and grandeur can take visitors' breath away. The stones are held together by simple forces - without any mortar - and it was built to carry water from the Sierra to the city of Segovia.
This living proof of Roman ingenuity will take your breath away. Hard to believe it's stood for nearly two millennia. Stones meticulously placed without mortar held by gravity. Incredible. Make plans to grab lunch or a drink at one of the nearby cafes with this monument in full view.

Beautiful town in spain with its iconic ancient Aqueduct. The old buildings in the town are also beautiful. You can climb up the stairs just behind the aqueduct to see the view of the town and aqueduct from above, which is breathtaking. We were there when it was quite cloudy, and still beautiful, but definitely will be much prettier with clear skies.

Holy moly this was absolutely amazing! We drove by it on our way in but that was nothing compared to walking up to it. My wife and I walked alongside it to the main entrance where it came from underground and were able to see the carved out top as it was waist high at that point. We also say a filtration station and then came back in the evening for pictures on the other side up high with great views of the city. Definitely recommend as it’s one of the most well preserved aqueducts I’ve ever seen.

The Aqueduct of Segovia is a testament to the ingenuity and grandeur of ancient Roman engineering. It stretches over 800 meters, composed of 166 arches, and has remained remarkably intact despite centuries of weathering and the passage of time. Its commanding presence and interplay of light and shadow create a mesmerizing visual spectacle. The Aqueduct of Segovia is one of the most significant and awe-inspiring historical sites in Spain. Its grandeur, architectural brilliance, and remarkable preservation make it an essential destination for anyone seeking to explore the wonders of the ancient world. Climbing to the top of the aqueduct offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the city of Segovia.

Truly fascinating it was still standing up today. 16km of marvelous architecture built centuries ago. It's now a tourist attraction here in Segovia, Spain. The actual city was kept in its original form and structure, with some retouches to restore the Grandeur it was. Don't leave Madrid without visiting this site in just more than an hour's drive from the city center.
Doc MRB (Malou) — Google review
No doubt, this is one of the top 3 sites not to miss in Segovia.
Although I'd strongly recommend to visit the Alcazar and the Cathedral first and leaving the aqueduct for the end, before taking the bus (11,12) back to the train station.
The old city is off course charming and to reach those landmarks you'll stroll in the narrow medieval streets and enjoy its special atmosphere.
With Toledo, it is definitely the best day trip from Madrid!
Dan Maarek — Google review
I was absolutely mesmerized by the aqueducts of Segovia during my recent visit. The grandeur of this ancient engineering marvel is truly awe-inspiring. The precision with which the massive granite blocks fit together, creating a bridge that has stood the test of time for centuries, left me speechless. The history and significance of the aqueducts, dating back to Roman times, added an extra layer of fascination. The sight of water flowing through these arches, standing tall against the backdrop of the city, is a sight to behold. Whether you're a history buff or simply someone who appreciates architectural wonders, the aqueducts of Segovia are an absolute must-see.

This is a popular touristical spot for a great photograph. Still, it's a wonderful reminder of the engineering might of the Roman empire and I always come back for that memory. You Will no doubt enjoy walking around the neighborhood and up the hills to take in the sights and to take a bite at one of the many restaurants specializing in suckling, lamb and pig. Vegetarians can enjoy a custom salad with some of the best tomatoes around. Don't miss out on some of the best chocolate milk you can have anywhere.

The Roman Aqueduct of Segovia stands as a remarkable testament to ancient engineering prowess. Its towering arches, meticulously crafted without mortar, evoke a sense of awe and admiration. As one marvels at its grandeur, it's impossible not to feel transported back in time, imagining the bustling life that once surrounded this architectural marvel. A stroll alongside its impressive structure offers a glimpse into the ingenuity of ancient civilizations and provides a profound connection to history. For anyone visiting Segovia, exploring this iconic aqueduct is an absolute must, offering an unforgettable experience that resonates long after the visit.

This one of the most outstanding architectural sites. It amazes me that it is 2,000 years old. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes in the plaza and restrooms to make it a great outing. Don't forget to climb the stairs on the side of the plaza to get a perspective from the top of the aqueduct.
Raymond Hitchcock — Google review
The Aqueduct of Segovia is a marvel of engineering and a testament to the ingenuity and skill of ancient Roman architects and builders. This massive structure, made entirely of stone, stretches nearly a kilometer in length and towers over the city of Segovia, Spain.
Constructed in the 1st century AD, the aqueduct was designed to transport water from the nearby mountains to the city. Its sheer size and scale are impressive, and it's hard to believe that such an impressive structure could have been built without modern technology or machinery.
Walking along the aqueduct is a truly awe-inspiring experience. The sheer size of the stones and the precision with which they were placed is simply breathtaking. The aqueduct is also beautifully illuminated at night, providing a stunning backdrop to the city.
Visitors can also climb up to the top of the aqueduct for even more impressive views of Segovia and the surrounding landscape. From the top, you can see the entire city and appreciate the true scale of the aqueduct.
The aqueduct is also surrounded by beautiful parks and gardens, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful Spanish weather. There are also plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby, making it a great spot to grab a drink or a bite to eat.

We took a day trip to both Toledo and Segovia, and between the two of them, we much preferred Segovia. The aqueduct is massive, much bigger than I expected, and creates a striking image with the town scenery in the background. There are no entrance fees or lines necessary, and many restaurants are available around the aqueduct. Overall, the aqueduct is what makes Segovia unique (and my personal favorite day trip from Madrid). If you visit Segovia, it's impossible to miss--also because it's the first thing we saw when we drove up.

Very well preserved considering that the Aqueduct was built 2000 years ago. Very pleasant walk along the structural on cobblestone streets. And, a walk up the stairs to the wall of the city presents great views. Look carefully at the doors to all the buildings. So many are original carved wood doors.
Lovely open Plaza with restaurants- almost all with outdoor seating.
You can find toilets and a snack offering pizzas, sandwiches, ice-cream, beers, coffee and soft drinks. Prices are decent and the place is clean and offers a shaded seating area. The only vegetarian option is the mixed cheese pizza though and there is nothing fresh or that would be considered a "healthy" alternative (like vegetables, fruits, cereals...)

Sitio poco recomendable para descansar. Hemos venido entre semana para evitar el bullicio de la gente, y no hemos caído en los campamentos. Han llegado unos 4 campamentos de niños y han ocupado todo, así que descansar poco. Las normas no se cumplen. Porque no se puede usar sillas, pelotas, música muy alta, bullicio....y un sinfin de cosas...y poco se cumplen.
El sitio está muy bien, por el lugar dónde se encuentra. Pero deja de desear en ese aspecto. No quiero ni pensar esto en fin de semana, lleno de gente.
Esperemos no se haga muy largo el día.

Unrecommended place to rest. We have come during the week to avoid the noise of the people, and we have not fallen into the camps. About 4 children's camps have arrived and they have occupied everything, so little rest. The rules are not met. Because you can't use chairs, balls, loud music, hustle and bustle... and endless things... and little is done.
The site is very good, because of the place where it is located. But stop wishing in that regard. I don't even want to think about this on a weekend, full of people.
Let's hope the day doesn't get too long.

(Translated by Google) Food: sandwiches, dishes and drinks are served. The whole tortilla is served with bread and mayonnaise. The drawback is that when it is frozen, it must be heated well. In our case, they served it to us still frozen and they poured water while we ate it.
Local: it has a large terrace where you can find some shade and be with pets.
Service: the girls are friendly.
(Original)
Comida: se sirven bocadillos, platos y bebidas. La tortilla entera se sirve con pan y mahonesa. El inconveniente es que al ser congelada hay que calentarla bien. En nuestro caso, nos la sirvieron todavía congelada y echaba agua mientras la comíamos.
Local: tiene una amplia terraza donde puedes encontrar alguna pequeña sombra y estar con mascotas.
Servicio: las chicas son amables.

(Translated by Google) Place to enjoy nature in its purest form. The natural pools are very natural and the water is cool. Ideal to go during the week, if you can, with fewer people to breathe fresh air and disconnect. Parking all day for €9, very good, and there is a beach bar with sandwiches, pizzas, potato omelettes... Totally recommended.
(Original)
Lugar para disfrutar de la naturaleza en estado puro. Las piscinas naturales muy eso,naturales y el agua fresquita.Ideal para ir entre semana, si se puede, menos gente para respirar aire puro y desconectar. Parcking todo el día por 9€, muy bien, y hay un chiringuito con bocadillos, pizzas, tortillas de patatas...Totalmente recomendable.

(Translated by Google) An excellent day to relax, sunbathe, and sleep with pleasant weather, there are trees, there are shadows, and there is not so much commotion or music. The truth is that the family is phenomenal.

Un día excelente para relajarte a tomar el sol, y dormir con un clima agradable hay árboles, hay sombras, y no hay tanto alboroto ni música. La verdad para la familia está fenomenal..

Fun place for kids to play on zip lines and kayaks. However, more monitors needed for large groups and access road needs some serious asphalting.

We tried to catch a full red/orange forest but looks like we just missed it. Still, we come almost every year to hike and it’s always so beautiful.
It’s like the little forest from a fairytale ☺️
Weekends they charge for entry, 6€ for a car and 2€pp.
They also have nice seating in the front for a little picnic!
Nadia — Google review
After an uncomfortable 20 minutes dust road drive to the parking you get out of the he car in the midest of lush forest. You instantly feel the fresh cold air as the trees leaves block most of the sun light.
The routes are easy, confortable even for kids.
On weekends, there is a guide welcoming visitors to give them indications on the nature they will see and participate to take care of by not dumping trash, not collecting chestnuts and following the stablished paths. The forest is hence well preserved even though it has lots of visitors.
In El Tiemblo, before reaching the dusty road there is an information post where you are stopped by forest rangers. If you want to get there with your car you have to pay 6€ for the car plus 2€ per passenger. They'll provide indications and a map.
Pablo Francisco Pérez — Google review
Beautiful forest mainly composed by chestnut tree. Autumn is the most beautiful season, I really recommend to go in this season but, if possible, in week days, due to the fact that it is really crowded on weekends.
Positive things: Astonishing nature in autumn, leaves looks like gold with their golden colour. There's also a parking for cars.
Negative things: Really crowded in peak season and you have to pay.

Aquopolis Villanueva de la Cañada is a family-friendly water park offering extreme rides, wave machines, and attractions for younger kids. Visitors can enjoy free or paid parking options and bring their own food to the designated picnic area. The park has polite staff, clean facilities, and attentive lifeguards at every slide and area. However, some visitors find it crowded with long wait times for attractions.
We loved it. To go have fun with the family. Everything very clean and the Games are great. The only thing, I recommend buying the vip bracelets because there were people who queued for forty minutes to get on the games. Great discount for. Great discount for residents of Villanueva de la Cañada.

We went on a Thursday, the line to get in 20 min early was outside the gate to the parking lot. Parking is easy there is free parking in dirt lot and pay parking in paved lot, both close. We brought lunch with us in a cooler which we had to check in a locker and eat in a special picnic area ( I guess new rule this year). Although we saw many people eating snacks that they brought from home at their seats in the lawn. I think that they are trying to change rule but hard to get everyone to follow rules.
The lines get super long at least a 30 min wait at about 30 min after opening. I would say average wait time for the day after 1230 was about 40 min and that was for a non tube ride
My kids waited in line for an hour and ten min for a tube ride at 6pm.
They say they close at 1900 but they close a lot of the slide before that b/c the lines are so long
Some things seem really old and wore out
Lots of areas with shade
You can take your shoes with you on all rides but have to wear them on your hands to go down the slides
The wave pool only runs once an house on the 30 when we were there. And doesn’t last that long
We went to order food at 1800 an hour before closing so kids would have something to eat on the way home and the pizza dominos and burgers were already closed?!?!?
The VIP huts have a ton of shade and off to the side of the rainbow slide (my kids never sat other than for lunch) so we didn’t use or purchase
My kids loved it even though they complained about the lines being so long they still had fun

We had fun, but there's just too many people inside the park for the space available. Ride waiting times ruin the whole experience, some rides you need to wait in line for almost 2 hours. Note that a speedy pass will not save you time on all the rides. Rides requiring a floating device have 2 queues, one for the float, another to ride. Speed pass will save you the wait for the 🛟 only. They should really sell less tickets per day. Lockers are also expensive, a basic locker should be included in the price (maybe with a safety deposit so people don't abuse) and charge for the big lockers for food/coolers.
Ricardo Quintana — Google review
Very bad place to go in Madrid
It's too crowded, we spent there 7 hours and most of the time we stoodin the line to go up to the slides. Finally we did only 4 slides all day!!
Everything extra they will charge you, locker,seat,parking,fast pass. The feeling is that they are trying to get out of you as much money as they can

Have been to the waterpark on Tuesday. It has some so-so rides. Fun ones require lots of waiting due to the queues. There are 2-3 swimming pools for children and 2 big ones, beach styled for adults. The nice idea about adult swimming pool is that stuff put on waves for it sometimes. Just listen to the horn to grab an opportunity to jump over waves. Lots of sun loungers availabe for free. Now the dissapointing part:
1.) Lockers doesnt seem to be very big, just enough to put one bag and some clothes. Very unconvenient. On top, you have to pay 8€ for a locker where 2€ is a deposit and will come back if key wont be lost during the getting out. Ticket by itself does not include the locker price.
2.) Just an advice is to bring sun cream. During the day time sun is pretty hot and skin can get burnt easily. On the spot cheapest sun cream will be around 20€. Quite expensive. Bring one beforehand.
3.) The food portions are quite small. Dont go for burgers - you will pay around 10€ for the same burger as in Mcdonalds. Try to bring some food with you to avoid paying much for food.
4.) Even though we came on Tuesday, there were lots of people. Average waiting time in a queue for most rides was around 30-45 mins. Shorthest was 20 mins, longest - 1 hour. Go for a speedy pass if possible even though the ticket price seems to be already quite high (about the way to get discount, look down)
5.) Restrooms just had toilets, sinks and showers. No hairdryer. Very unconvenient for girls. Moreover, quality of restrooms is very low.
6.) VIP tickets will give you a place in small covered marquees to avoid direct sunlight. If you cant decide if you need VIP pass, i would suggest investing money into speedy pass. It would benefit much more.
Overall, left quite dissapointed with a water park since was not capable of waiting any longer in the queues. Because of that, some slides left unvisited. Would suggest park administrators to improve some rides and make amount of tickets limited to avoid having dissapointed customers waiting for too long in the queues.
Ps If you want to save some money, search the discount code. It is something to do with SOY card (big hint here ;) ). Then download the application "Parques Reunidos" and connect tickets with an app. 10€ saving for one ticket.

The place is ok as a water park. However, it is too crowded which makes it difficult to access the attractions and barely opens from 12 to 8 PM. There is a bus from Madrid (Moncloa) that can be rather crowded as well since it is currently the only one that makes it to the park. Two concrete examples are the huge line to enter the park itself and I spent almost one hour for one of the slides (which I chose because it had a shorter line than others). There's also no signaling for how long the line is expected to take approximately.
On the bright side, the installation itself is well prepared and has a nice variety of water related activities.

The rides were really fun, service was great, and staff were wonderful. Only downside wat that I spent 98% of the day in queues and 2% of the time actually enjoying the rides
Ciaran M. — Google review
Really enjoyable spot. Lots of choices for different age groups. We were not allowed to bring in our picnic even though the website said we could. We could go out during the day to collect from the car & eat at seating just inside the entrance. But food left in the car on a hot day isn't good. We had to eat at one of the restaurants. Expensive for what you get. The kids enjoyed the day so that is what's most important.

My son (5) and I had a great day here. We arrived around 12:15 and there was maybe 4 people ahead. Staff were very polite and prompt. The lockers to the right were all out so we had to use the ones to the left. They cost 8 euro and the annoying thing was your pin code is given to you on a piece of paper. Having a talkative 5 year old beside me it was a hard trying to memorize that code. All areas we went to were clean and all had a lifeguard/worker on every slide/area. We spent most of our time in the two smaller kids park and all staff were wonderful. We had pizza for lunch and again all staff were lovely to deal with considering we have a language barrier. Only complaint I have is with booking. I was unable to and still am unable to book any of the VIP packages online and I've called and emailed and have not received a response. Other than that everything was great.

Excellent service for kids with disabilities. Great medical service for cuts and bruises. Day of the visit it wasn't too busy so in the day managed to enjoy every ride / attraction bar one.
It would be 5 stars but for the fact that the food and drink is, whilst typical of all theme parks, very expensive for what it is... My boy had never seen a hamburger so small... He thought it was a meatball put there by mistake. Hihihi

Un muy buen centro comercial y muy recomendable.
Muchas tiendas de ropa, tiendas de golosinas, tecnología, peluquerías, heladerías........
La zona de restauración ha sufrido un cambio muy importante y bueno, añadiendo más sitios para tomar algo, comer, cenar.....
Desde mi punto de vista de punto débil sigue siendo la zona de ocio ya que con la nueva reforma van a poner cines y han creado los Jardines, pero sigue faltando algo y ese algo Desde mi punto de vista son unos recreativos.
Y la zona de los jardines está muy bien.

A very good shopping center and highly recommended.
Many clothing stores, candy stores, technology, hairdressers, ice cream parlors........
The restaurant area has undergone a very important and good change, adding more places to have a drink, lunch, dinner.....
From my point of view, the weak point is still the leisure area since with the new reform they are going to put cinemas and they have created the Gardens, but something is still missing and that something. From my point of view they are recreational.
And the garden area is very good.

Muchas tiendas, muy bonito y todo lo que queráis, pero me parece inadmisible que no haya una zona dedicada al ocio infantil, ni parque de bolas, ni sala de juegos, ni toboganes, ni ludoteca, ni absolutamente nada para los más pequeños. Las familias que visitamos centros comerciales solemos ir con hijos, y ya me diréis que hacemos con ellos mientras los mayores compramos…

Many shops, very pretty and everything you want, but I find it inadmissible that there is no area dedicated to children's entertainment, or a ball park, or a games room, or slides, or a playroom, or anything for the little ones. Families who visit shopping malls usually go with their children, and you will tell me what we do with them while the older ones shop...

I've always enjoyed coming to this plaza, experience have usually been good. The last few times have been different I travel with my assistant dog proper paperwork etc the last few times I've been stopped and required to show my paid for work which is not the law here, this time they refuse me I showed the paperwork in a pleasant manner I was told that there is a new law, which there isn't so we were forced to leave the mall and go somewhere else embarrassing for this mall and it's training of its staff and security guards...
