25 years of water parks on the Costa del Sol

There are three water parks that fall within Malaga’s provincial boundaries.

AquaMijas park in Mijas.           
AquaLand in Torremolinos
Aquavelis in Torre del Mar – Velez Malaga = Very family orientated, is more Spanish. (East of Malaga)

AquaLand in Torremolinos and AquaMijas attract more foreign tourists during the summer months.

The parks have some great rides and always place safety first. Children especially, have the time of their lives.
All three of the water parks cater for smaller children.

One important point to note, is admission to individual slides is based on height. Something that can be very frustrating for smaller members of the family !
