When we are young, one of the desires that often arises (especially in spring) is to go to the amusement park. And as we grow up, these places bring back our childhood memories: excitement is at its peak, adrenaline rushes through us like mountains, and joy runs through our entire body. What if we told you that just an hour from Barcelona and its airport, you can be a child again? PortAventura World, near the beaches of the Costa Daurada, is Europe's largest holiday and family leisure destination, with its three theme parks combining some of the best roller coasters on the continent. For example, 'Red Force', the tallest and fastest roller coaster in all of Europe, stands at nothing less than 112 meters tall and reaches a dizzying speed of 180 km/h!

But PortAventura World goes beyond adrenaline-pumping roller coasters. It has an extensive variety of attractions, live shows, and restaurants for all tastes and ages. Every year, it seduces millions of people from around the world, likely to become one of your favorite places. Let us explain the hidden fun behind each of its parks!

With six themed universes spanning from China to the Far West, passing through the Mediterranean and Mexico, this park offers fun for all ages. There are areas for the little ones and for those who are beginning to feel the awakening of curiosity for adrenaline peaks, with attractions not so strong. And, of course, attractions for those who already know what it's like to experience strong emotions.

Since its inauguration as Spain's first theme park, it has expanded its offering to over 5 km of thrilling roller coasters and a total of 40 attractions for the whole family. The most famous for being 'intense' (which will surely enchant enthusiasts of height, speed, and acceleration, as well as surprise lovers) are Dragon Khan, a roller coaster full of loops; Furius Baco, the roller coaster with the fastest acceleration in Spain; Shambhala, the longest one; and Huracán Condor, with the highest free fall. The newest attraction, 'Uncharted: The Enigma of Penitence,' opened in June 2023, adding a new level of suspense to the experience: you'll go in search of lost treasure on a dark ride set in the Wild West.

In addition to the attractions, you can enjoy daily shows and a wide variety of dining options at the park's 47 dining points: cafes, restaurants, bars... Are you ready to go around the world in a day?
