PortAventura – The largest amusement park in Spain

If you are spending your holiday in Tarragona or Barcelona, ​​apart from the numerous monuments that you will find in these cities, you should also visit attraction number 1, which is located in their vicinity!

The PortAventura World is divided into several themed areas, each of which offers a different kind of entertainment:

• Mediterrània – inspired by the most beautiful views that can be found around the Mediterranean Sea. In this charming fishing village you will find breathtaking roller coasters (such as Furius Baco) as well as activities for younger family members.
• Polynesia – a perfect place for tropical jungle lovers and Indians! Here you will experience amazing rafting down the waterfalls, an “Indian show” and find an Indian-style souvenir shop.
• China – it is time to travel through the culture of ancient China. Here you will find the aforementioned Shambhala roller-coaster and the mind-boggling Dragon Khan roller coaster with as many as 8 loops!
• Far West – The Wild West has never been so close! Here you can feel like a real cowboy. In addition to the attractions which you have so far seen in western films only, you will also find shops and restaurants matching the atmosphere of this land.
• SésamoAventura – is a place where children are the biggest stars! This part of the park was created with kids in mind and which offers entertainment that is a bit less adrenaline- fueled…
• México – here is where lovers of Mayan culture will feel at home! Streets that make you think of a small Mexican pueblo, amazing “merry-go-rounds”, the El Diablo – Tren de la Mina rollercoaster and artistic shows are the best things that can happen to you in this place!

Ferrari Land

Ferrari Land is the newest part of PortAventura Park. In fact, it can be said that it is a separate amusement park. A park in the park? Yes, it sounds a bit unusual, and what’s more, it’s not the only thing that sets this place apart from other amusement parks in Spain.

Ferrari Land covers an area of ​​70,000 m², where you will get a rush of adrenaline and have lots of fun! Nowhere else in Europe will you find a place where you can discover all the secrets behind the legendary Italian brand and its creator, Enzo Ferrari, in such an unusual way. Impressive, innovative technologies combined with the characteristic red design of the park is an opportunity for the whole family to have lots of fun. And it looks something like this:

PortAventura Caribe Aquatic Park

A separate part of PortAventura is also the Caribe Aquatic Park. Most of its part is made of swimming pools and various types of slides in a Caribbean style. Some of them can really make you dizzy, as you will see in the video below:
