Part2：雨の志摩スペイン村／Shima Spain Village Even on a Wet Day

2日目：雨でも笑顔！志摩スペイン村の魅力とは？

1日目は、こちらから読めます

お昼に飲めなかったぶん、

夜中に湯快リゾートホテルの部屋で軽く飲んで

2日目は、子供に楽しんで欲しくて初めての

志摩スペイン村へ！

公式ホームページはこちらから

志摩スペイン村での周り方はとりあえず（笑）

どう周ったら良いのかわからなかったので

とりあえず感で周りました（笑）

でも、そしたら娘は

「くるみ割り人形」(身長制限なし)にハマって何往復もして乗っていました

家で下調べをしたんで、試しに小さな

ジェットコースターにも乗りました(*’ω’*)

怖がるかと思ったんですが、まさかの2回も乗りました

行った甲斐がありました（笑）

当時の身長は100センチでした

上記の乗り物は全て乗れたので

あとはショーが始まるまではランチの時間でゆっくりと

パエリアとスペアリブで満足ランチ！

パエリアが食べたくて「エルパティオ」へ(^^♪

人も某テーマパークより少なくて

場所取り合戦もなく自然にとって座れました

喉が渇いていたのでビールは必須でした（笑）

大きなスペアリブがお腹を満たしてくれて

しっかりとした味付けとビールの組み合わせは最高でした

この時は娘が昼寝をしていて起きたと同時に

カレーを頼みましたがブログを書く予定が無かったので

写真には残っていません

ランチも食べたし外へ出た瞬間・・・・

ポツポツと雨が(;^ω^)

情熱フラメンコショー

ベビーカーを押してコロシアムのショーへ

「パティオ デル カント～ダルシネアの秘密の花園～」

華やかな衣装をまとったダンサーたちの情熱的なフラメンコは

雨で沈んだ気持ちを吹き飛ばしてくれるようでした

「あなたの誕生日の花は何？」と問いかけられる演出の時に

こっちにも聞いて欲しい(^^♪

って、ついつい前のめりになってワクワクしました

現在は新しいミュージカル

「ドンキホーテのグラン・ガラ・デ・オペラ

～帰ってきたテアトロ・ラ・マンチャ～」を

しているみたいです

私が予約したところは、じゃらんでした☆

レンタカーはこちらでオリックスレンタカーを借りました

A fun start to the second day

Since I couldn’t enjoy a drink at lunch the day before,

I treated myself to a quiet nightcap in our Yukai Resort hotel room.

On Day 2, we headed out to Shima Spain Village—our very first visit!

Click here to visit the official website

I had no idea how to get around the park,

so we just went with the flow (haha).

To my surprise, my daughter absolutely fell in love

with the ride “The Nutcracker” (no height restrictions)

and rode it over and over again!

Rides We Enjoyed – Great for Toddlers!

We had also researched a small roller coaster

at home and decided to give it a try.

I thought she might get scared, but…

she ended up riding it twice!

Totally worth the visit

---

At that time, my daughter was 100cm tall

We were able to ride everything we’d hoped for!
Afterward, we had some downtime before the show started, so it was time for lunch.

A Taste of Spain – Lunch at El Patio

I was craving paella, so we headed to a restaurant called El Patio.

The crowd was smaller compared to major theme parks,

so we had no trouble finding seats.

Of course, I had to grab a beer

The juicy spare ribs were super filling, and paired perfectly with the drink.

Paella and beer… the ultimate adult combo!

At that time, my daughter was napping.

She woke up just in time for her meal—curry rice—

but I didn’t take a photo since I hadn’t planned to blog this trip at first.

Rain Can’t Stop the Fun – A Flamenco Surprise

Just as we stepped outside after lunch…

raindrops started falling.

We pushed the stroller through the light rain and

made it to the Colosseum stage show

called “Patio del Canto – Dulcinea’s Secret Garden”.

Dancers in colorful costumes performed passionate flamenco,

which lifted our spirits despite the rainy weather.

One part of the show asked, “What is your birth flower?”

I found myself thinking, “Ask me too!!”

It was such a fun and engaging moment

Now, the park features a new musical,

“Don Quixote’s Gran Gala de Opera –

The Return of Teatro La Mancha”.

Even with the rain, the day left us wanting to come back.

And honestly, that’s a win in my book.

If you have young kids, I truly recommend visiting—

it’s a fun and welcoming park for all ages!

Crabby Dinner and the Perfect End to Day 2

After returning to the hotel…

it was time for the long-awaited Crab Feast Night!!

Crab claws become powerful tools in both hands!

Once again, my child said, “No thanks,”

so I happily devoured it all myself (lol).

Even the kids’ menu was included in the all-you-can-eat buffet,

so I was constantly bouncing between the food corner and our table.

With a full belly, I headed back to our room—

only to start a late-night snack session

I cracked open a bag of Ise lobster chips,

my own little souvenir, and munched away while welcoming the final day of our trip.

For Accommodation (Hotels, Ryokans, etc.)

When booking your stay, please be aware of these details:

If language is a concern, we recommend contacting the accommodation directly to confirm their language support before booking.

  • Amenities: Check what amenities are provided (e.g., towels, specific toiletries) and if extra items are available upon request.
  • Check-in/Check-out: Inquire about early check-in or late check-out options and any associated fees.
  • Luggage Storage: Confirm if luggage storage is available before check-in or after check-out.
  • Special Needs: If you have specific needs such as dietary restrictions (e.g., halal food), prayer rooms, or accessibility requirements (e.g., wheelchair access), please confirm directly with the accommodation in advance.
• Cancellation Policy: Always carefully review the cancellation policy for your specific booking. Policies vary widely and can result in significant charges if not adhered to, especially given time zone differences and exchange rates.

General Recommendation: For any specific concerns or questions regarding your stay, we strongly advise you to check the booking site’s detailed information or contact the accommodation directly before finalizing your reservation.

If you are not fluent in Japanese, it is highly recommended to confirm with the specific rental branch whether English or other language support is available.
