Spain does theme parks extremely well, and most of the big ones are within a day's drive of either coast.
Costa Blanca
- Terra Mítica, Benidorm — ancient-world themed, big coasters
- Terra Natura, Benidorm — animals plus rides, good for younger children
- Mundomar, Benidorm — marine and exotic animals
Worth the longer drive
- PortAventura World, Salou — the biggest in Spain, an hour from the Costa Brava
- Ferrari Land, Salou — next door to PortAventura
Tips
- Height restrictions catch families out — check before you book
- Two-day tickets often cost barely more than one
