PortAventura, Salou

Honestly …there is quit a gap between the reputation of this park to the actual facts . I went there with my 12 year old girl, and found that it is not quit tempting as I thought it will . About an hour drive from Barcelona ( to include 4 times , tall-road-paying ! ) , and a parking lot that requires 15 minutes of walking to the entrance . It was very hot the day we arrived and the walk seems to be a bit to far . Both Water and Amusement parks , are good for kids up to 9-10 years maximum. There are activities for older ones but those are quit limited , and thus the ques for those are very long . The day I visited the place it was about 1 hour waiting …part of it ..in the burning sun … There were only 6 elements that were " cool " enough for y 12 year old …and the rest of the facilities are for younger children . Therefore , as sorry as I must say … this does not worth the hassle . For smaller kids , there are other available options in the Barcelona zone , and for bigger kids ….is would not be good enough.

Absolutely brilliant place. Fab rides. Prepare to get soaked on 3 rides. Great for adults and kids. Little short on disabled signage but we managed to figure it out. From our hotel we can go in and out at our leisure. The parade is great followed by fireworks. Get a place early as it gets super busy spectator wise. Absolutely love it here.
