CATALONIA: PORT AVENTURA

PortAventura theme park has six areas which will let you discover new and wonderful worlds with magnificent shows and breathtaking rides. From the tallest and fastest roller coasters in Europe to the smaller rides that parents and children can enjoy together in the magical family area of SésamoAventura.

Besides PortAventura has a privileged location in one of the best resorts in Catalonia, in the heart of the Costa Daurada and quite near of Barcelona, which will allow you to enjoy weekend breaks and holidays.

If you are also a lover of water rides, you can also enjoy the water park Costa Caribe Aquatic Park.

The six thematic areas of PortAventura are:

• Mediterrània: PortAventura Mediterránia perfectly combines the tranquility of a typical Meditteranean fishing village with exciting rides, like Furius Baco.

• Polynesia: Lush vegetation where aquatic attractions are hidden.

• Sésamo Aventura: The place for the younger kids.

• China: Shambhala and Dragon Khan will make you remember this area.

• Mexico: In this are you can walk through the Colonial Mexico with its ancient ruins, like a Mayan pyramid.

• Far West: The area of Port Aventura I like the most. Here I enjoyed an amusing Rodeo Show.
