It is part of the Maldonado Park in Riba-roja and is the main reason why it is one of the most visited in the province. You can literally ride through the park on the back of a steam train, but only on Sundays from 11 am to 1:30 pm. The rest of the week, Maldonado Park is also worth a visit for its Peter Pan and Neverland themed children’s area, which includes a jungle and a pirate ship. In the summer there is also a summer cinema.
