Rojales

Rojales is a small municipal town that has a charming village feel to it. It sits on the banks of the River Segura and makes up a stop on the Rio Segura walking and cycling route. It is easy to wander around Rojales as you always come back to the river, with its large waterwheel and friendly ducks! Take the time to explore, maybe visit the artists cave houses or the museum in the church square. The Thursday morning market is very popular with both residents and visitors and is well renowned for being slightly cheaper!

Rojales Water Park, known as Parque Aquatico, was opened on the 14th of June 1986 and has been providing great days out for families ever since. It is open every year during the summer and is most suited to children aged 6-13yrs. It has 4 gentle slides and 2 kamikaze slides, 3 children’s pools, a large swimming pool with free sun beds and parasols, restaurant, cafeteria, lawn area, picnic area (you can bring your own sandwiches!) and lots of free parking.
