What is the history of Terra Mitica and what makes this park special?
Terra Mitica opened in July 2000 as the flagship tourism project for the Benidorm region on the Costa Blanca. The park covers an area of over 100,000 square metres and from the very beginning stood out with its unique thematic concept based on the civilisations of the ancient Mediterranean. Unlike typical amusement parks, Terra Mitica offers not only mechanical attractions but also meticulously recreated architecture, theatrical scenography and immersive cultural experiences. The park has undergone several modernisations and investments, including the addition of the mega coaster Titanide in 2015, which became the park's flagship attraction and one of the fastest roller coasters in Spain.
One of the distinguishing elements of Terra Mitica is the themed shows and spectacles that take place several times daily across different zones of the park. Visitors can watch reconstructions of gladiatorial combat in the Roman amphitheatre, dance and music performances inspired by ancient Egypt, and interactive mythological presentations in the Greece zone. During summer season there are also evening fireworks displays and light shows that provide a spectacular end to the day at the park. These additional cultural attractions make Terra Mitica something more than a standard amusement park.

How to get to Terra Mitica from Gran Alacant?
The most convenient way to travel from Gran Alacant to Terra Mitica is by car. The route follows the AP-7 motorway (toll-free on this section) towards Benidorm and takes approximately 55 minutes covering 62 km. GPS navigation leads to the address: Partida del Moralet, 03502 Benidorm. Parking at the park is mandatory for cars and costs 10 euros for the entire day. It opens 30 minutes before the park gates, so it is worth arriving early to secure a spot close to the entrance.
Alternatively you can take the TRAM line L1 from Alicante to Benidorm station (approximately 1.5 hours, ticket 4.50 euros), then catch local bus line 15 directly to the Terra Mitica gate. Long-distance ALSA buses from Alicante to Benidorm are also available. If you prefer not to drive, consider an organised excursion with transfer or booking private transport.
What to eat at Terra Mitica and is it worth bringing your own food?
Terra Mitica has over a dozen themed restaurants and bars, each reflecting the style of its zone. In the Egypt zone we recommend the restaurant with kebabs and falafels, and in the Rome zone the pizzas and pastas. Park dining prices are elevated: a lunch set costs 12-18 euros per person and drinks 3-5 euros. The park allows you to bring your own water bottles (but not glass ones), which is important on hot summer days when temperatures reach 35-40 degrees Celsius.
A good solution for families is to use the picnic area near the car park, where you can eat your own meal before or after visiting the park. Inside the park it is worth bringing small snacks and energy bars. During peak season restaurants can have 20-30 minute queues at lunchtime (13:00-15:00), so plan your meal outside peak hours.
