Santillana
del Mar Zoo
This zoo, within walking distance of the very lovely town
of Santillana del Mar, has a certain importance as a conservation
centre for endangered species. Spanish-only site.
Terra
Mítica - the Official Site
There are any number of apparently offcial sites for Terra
Mítica, at least one of which (http://www.tierramitica.com/)
belongs to a company now facing charges (for property fraud).
This park next to Benidorm, Alicante, is said to be "the
only real theme park in Europe." Its theme is the ancient
world - Rome, Egypt, and so forth, and it has recently been
taken over by Paramount. This website is OK, and at least
available in English, unlike this
better, but Spanish-only site.
Terra
Mítica - an unofficial site
A good Spanish-only fansite, with excellent graphics, for
this theme park near Benidorm. For information on other Spanish
parks, try the related parketematiko.com/.
Tibidao
The amusement park on the Tibidado mountain has been through
good times and bad times. Its age, over a hundred years, and
its position overlooking the city make it emblematic. Here
is the official website, in Spanish, Catalan and English.
Tivoli
World, Málaga
An unassuming amusement park in Benalmádena,
Málaga.
Universal
Studios Port Aventura
Port Aventura is an amusement park in Catalonia. A good, very
dynamic site, as you would expect from Universal Studios.
Valencia
Zoo
A not very inspiring or inspired site, in Spanish only. Still,
clicking on "Los animales" brings up a lot of information
and a few photographs of the inmates.
Warner
Bros Movie World Madrid
This theme park opened at the beginning of April, 2002, and
is one of the most important in Spain, if not Europe. It has
areas dedicated to the Old West, Hollywood Boulevard, Cartoon
Village, Movie Studios and Superheroes. The park is actually
some twenty kilometres from the city of Madrid, but with good
road access and a new local railway station. The web site
is OK, if Flash-heavy and not very exciting, but the English
is very sub-standard (considering the resources available
to Warner Bros). "Have knowledge of Warner Bros Park"
is unforgivable, while "How to Come" reminds me
of the old Frankie Goes to Hollywood song - you know the one
I mean.
