Terra Mítica (Benidorm)

Terra Mítica is the theme park on the northern edge of Benidorm, built around the ancient Mediterranean in five zones: Egypt, Greece, Rome, Iberia and the Islands. The 2026 season opened on 15 May and runs to 1 November, with Halloween events through October. Visit Benidorm lists adult tickets at €49. Skip it from November to mid-May, when the park is closed.

Access and parking

By car: the park lies inland from Benidorm, north of the town and south of Finestrat and La Nucía (Wikipedia, es). OpenStreetMap shows the park’s car park entrance about 120 m from the pin. We found no current parking price from an official source, so check at the gate.

By tram: TRAM d’Alacant has a stop called Terra Mítica. It is about 1.4 km in a straight line from the pin, so expect a walk of at least that.

By air: Alicante–Elche airport is about 47 km away in a straight line.

What to expect

Each zone copies the look of an ancient culture, and rides are colour-coded by intensity: red for strong, yellow for medium, green for gentle and blue for small children (Wikipedia, es).

Egypt is the entrance zone, with a copy of the portico of the Temple of Khonsu at Karnak, an obelisk, a replica of the Pharos of Alexandria and a recreated pyramid of Cheops. Its big ride is the Cataratas del Nilo log flume.

Greece has the main thrill rides: Titánide, an inverted coaster with 5 inversions; Synkope, a giant pendulum that Visit Benidorm says reaches 90 km/h at 35 m; La Furia de Tritón, a splash ride with drops of 10 and 15 m; and the Laberinto del Minotauro, an interactive dark ride. The wooden coaster Magnus Colossus also stands here, but it closed in 2016 because of its maintenance costs.

Rome has Inferno, a 4D coaster built by Intamin, and El Vuelo del Fénix, a 54 m drop tower (Visit Benidorm, Terra Mítica).

Iberia and the Islands were split off as a separate park, Iberia Park, in 2013 and joined to Terra Mítica again in 2022. In 2026 Iberia has pools and slides and the park’s main show, Barbarroja, el tesoro perdido. The jousting show El Torneo has a new auditorium in the Islands, and El Circo de las Mariposas plays in the Pandora auditorium (El Español, August 2026).
