I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks to save money; the beachside cafes can be pricey! We loved picnicking there instead.

My advice is to explore the small beach bars nearby for authentic tapas instead of the big restaurants... The vibe is more local and you'll probably enjoy better food at lower prices

Check out the local fruit vendors instead of going to a beach restaurant; the fresh fruit is cheap and super refreshing on a hot day!

I found that bringing your own snacks and drinks is a real money saver; beachside cafes can be pricey for just a soda!

If you want to grab a good spot, try to get there by 10 AM; the beach gets pretty busy later and the good sunbathing spots fill up fast.

If you can, visit on a weekday to avoid weekend crowds. It's way more chill and you can snag a good spot on the sand without fighting for space.

check out the local beachside chiringuitos (beach bars) for reasonably priced seafood. i found the paella here much better than what i had at fancier restaurants

For the best sunset views, head to the beach around 7 PM. It's magical and totally worth it, plus it’s less crowded as most people leave after the daytime.

I recommend wearing comfy shoes. The park is bigger than it looks, and I walked a lot! You'll enjoy it more without sore feet afterward.

If you're into photography, the golden hour right before sunset is magical here. I got some amazing shots! Plan to stay until around 8 PM if you can.

I suggest checking out the free exercise classes that they sometimes offer, like yoga or Zumba. I stumbled upon one during my visit and it was a fun way to mingle with locals.

Look for the little play areas if you have kids. They’re well equipped and kept the little ones entertained while I enjoyed some quiet time on a nearby bench.

I recommend visiting on a weekday rather than the weekend; it was much quieter and I could really enjoy the beauty without the crowds. Plus, you get better photo ops!

Bring a packed snack or picnic! There are lovely spots to sit and relax, and it can save you some cash instead of buying food on-site.

make sure to wear comfortable shoes because there’s a lot of walking involved. i regretted my choice of shoes halfway through and it made exploring less enjoyable.

Sometimes the public restrooms aren’t the cleanest. I recommend using the cafes around the park if you need to go. I made that mistake and it was a bit unpleasant!

I suggest visiting early in the morning, around 9 AM, to beat the crowds and enjoy the fresh air. It was super peaceful when I got there, and I grabbed great photos without anyone in the background.

If you like flowers, don't miss the rose garden. I totally overlooked it at first, but when I explored, it was just stunning. Definitely a standout feature!

Check the weather, seriously! I thought it would be sunny all day, but ended up with a cloudy sky by 3 pm. Bring a light jacket just in case!

If you plan to swim, be careful with the current. I learned the hard way after being pushed quite a bit. Stick close to the shallow areas, especially if you’re not a strong swimmer.

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. The paths can be uneven, and you’ll want to explore every corner without worrying about your feet hurting.

Bring a small picnic! There are plenty of nice spots to chill and enjoy the surroundings. I found a little bench by the fountain that was perfect.

My advice is to buy tickets online in advance. I saved a few euros compared to on-site prices, and I skipped the long ticket line, which was a lifesaver!

I recommend checking out the feeding sessions. I stumbled upon a seal feeding and it was such a highlight! Make sure to grab a schedule at the entrance so you don't miss it.
