Terra Mitica is a theme park just outside Benidorm.It is a very good theme park as theme parks go but in the present economic climate it is extremely expensive for families to partake of its pleasures.The park has been struggling for a number of years and now it is to be rented.

Aqualandia which is another theme park nearby,which as its name suggests is a water park and a very successful one too.Now it is going to rent Terra Mitica for 1.8 million euros annually.

Terra Mitica was the brainchild of a former President of the Valencia Community.He had the idea for it in the 90´s.Since its inception it has never been as popular as Disney World in Paris and has had fewer visitors.It was facing bancruptcy.The interest on the loans alone is 1.8 million euros annually  and Aqualandia has signed a lease for 10 years.There is also an option in the deal to eventually buy the theme park.
