Common questions about the park
The practical answers. The longer read about the park, the beach and the salt lakes is on What to See Around La Mata.
How far is the park from your apartments?
From Lighthouse Dunamar the park is about 250 metres inland. From Lighthouse Parquemar it lies on the way to the beach, and the whole walk from the door to the sand is about 400 metres.
Is there an entry fee?
No. Parque del Molino de Agua is a public park and entry is free.
What time does the park open?
The park is open around the clock, so an early run before the heat and a walk after dinner both work. In high summer the hours either side of the middle of the day are the comfortable ones.
Can you cycle in the park?
Yes. The paths are made for walking and cycling alike, and they lead on into the cycling routes around La Mata.
Is there anything for children?
Yes. The park has children's playgrounds with modern play equipment, and picnic areas with tables where a family can spend the whole afternoon.
Can you barbecue there?
The picnic areas have grills and tables. Bring your own charcoal and food, and check the local fire restrictions in high summer.
