The Disney of Catalonia (Spain) - a day in PortAventura
A world of unforgettable experiences
Let the fun begin!
Wow how great is for adventure! Live for aventuraaaa! Come, come to port aventura! They are the kind of exclamations in different languages that are heard in every corner of this fabulous place, and that at the end of the day the desire to stay are endless! So it's true ¡Viva Port Aventura!
Recognized throughout Europe!
This immense theme park recognized not only in Spain but outside its borders being awarded the prize for the best park in Europe in 2012 is located in Vila-seca and Salou, Tarragona approximately one hour from Barcelona by car or 30 minutes by train; When you arrive in Catalunya, one of the first things you suggest is: "you must go to Port Aventura!" is like going to Barcelona and not visiting the Camp Nou, they are obligatory stops.
When knowing that I had to leave the city the best option was to go by train and especially go early in the day, because according to the comments "The park is full of locals and tourists" to which I take my forecasts and on arrival I found that it was true that they counted! The queue had approximately 300 people to acquire their ticket which is very expensive, the same is worth € 45 only for the theme park since inside there is a Sub-water park (Caribbean coast) and your entry is purchased individually.
When you get your ticket you have access to all attractions without limitations, you can upload as many times as you wish! I already knew that I was going to have fun!
Already when entering notes a festive atmosphere, different, with music, characters that walk, everywhere tourists. Your inner child begins to bloom again, someone told me in the hotel "To give you an idea Port Aventura is like a Disney" I thought it was exaggerated but with every step I took I was more convinced of that statement.
The first thing you get is a map and when you open it you realize that the park looks like a city, and strategically distributed with themes and different cultures; For example there is the Polynesian, Mediterranean, Chinese, Mexican, Hawaiian, Angkor, Far West, for the Sesame Street area family and many more! All set in a perfect way and covering every detail, making you feel that you are in that part of the world at that time.
The attractions vary in taste and above all daring!
They can go from the popular bumper cars to the highest roller coasters, some of them are:
Dragon Khan
That between sudden drops and loops you will have an experience full of adrenaline, is recognized by its 8 points where you are totally head
Furius Baco
It is a bit short in distance but the speed compensates for everything, if you want to live what you would feel in a racing car this is your thing, it has an acceleration from 0 to 135 kms in 3 seconds! To what we understand that name Furious!
Huracán Condor
If you like vertigo then come and ride in this, that set in the Aztec culture will leave you breathless in a free fall of 86 meters
Shambhala
She is the Queen of the park! It has the honor of being the highest roller coaster and the longest fall in all of Europe! Seeing her from below makes her wonder even the boldest if it would be a good idea to go up, but the truth is that it's worth it!
And if you go in Summer, the option of going to the water park is the best, with dozens of attractions and yes, come with beach attire or another set of clothes because you'll get wet.
Port aventura is much more than an amusement park, it is a themed enclosure where the family comes to have fun and to have a good time. Where tourists meet to distract themselves from the convulsionate coming and going in airports, throughout the year there are live shows and shows, be it Halloween, Christmas, white nights among others so check the calendar when traveling and do not miss everything offers you this wonderful place
recommendations
- To go try to arrive as early as possible since the queues for the accesses are very long and at the end of the day it will be valuable not to have wasted time.
- It is best to go to the most popular attractions in the early hours, because as the day progresses more and more people arrive and go just to those, which makes it harder to climb.
- You can not enter food, so if you had thought to bring a sandwich or a sandwich as they say in Spain, it is better to eat it before you enter.
- The above tips bring us to this one! Food is extremely expensive at least in the Mediterranean Zone, the option is to go to more accessible points, kiosks and buy light things to spend the day.
- If you take the train try to have on hand the time you arrive back; Trains do not pass frequently, which indicates that losing one can cause you to stay up to one more hour at the station.
- The ticket can be purchased online to avoid the queue, as if 45 € seems too expensive there are combos, 2x1 or even a package to stay in hotels in the park and access to all more food, each of these options they adapt to the condition of each one.
- At the end of the day Port aventura offers a show to close the day! If you adapt your time well it is a moment that you should not miss.
- Ferrari Park recently opened its doors in the purest style of the inaugurated years ago in Abu dabhi, so if you are a lover of the Italian team and of speed do not miss this option either.
