Animal and sealife park.
Mundomar is an animal theme park located in Benidorm, Costa Blanca, Spain. It is the sister park to the water park Aqualandia directly adjacent to it and with which it shares the same car park. There is a viewing area at the top of Mundomar next to the Dolphinarium, which gives a view of the majority of Aqualandia.

Parque Natural de la Sierra Helada
The mountain park offers a couple of historic sites and two excellent hiking trails. The Ruta Roja (trail information in Spanish) is an easy walk to the lighthouse at Albir, accessible by the number 10 bus. The walk is about 3 km in length and you do not have to be super fit. You also pass ochre mines on the way.The Ruta Amarilla (trail information in Spanish) is a more strenuous but superb cliff-top walk.
Mirador de la Cruz / Benidorm Cross
Placed by a Catholic mission in 1961 as part of an effort to redeem the city from its sinful reputation. In the succeeding years it has become less of an evangelical and more of a tourist icon. Some great views of the area can be had from this point, and several hiking trails begin here.
