Terra Natura Murcia is an immersive animal park about forty-five minutes south-west, opened in 2007 across more than 165,000 square metres. Hidden barriers let you see lions, giraffes, hippos and meerkats up close, alongside Iberian species like deer and genets, with daily keeper talks and a birds-of-prey flight display.
It stays open all year, and in summer the adjoining Aqua Natura water park turns it into a full day out on one ticket.
