Newest Review: ... to follow as it is in Spanish. The ride goes from 0-83.9mph in just three seconds. This absolutely takes your breath away and the ride does not let up. Any women going I advise you to wear good support because as I found out the first time I rode it, you can and will "fall out"! Even better, there is a camera in the back of the seat in front of you which films you the whole way ... more

Port Aventura is a theme park in the holiday resort of Salou. I have visited Salou four times and every time have gone back to Port Aventura- I love it! It is definitely one of the best theme parks in Europe. Cost: My last visit was in July 2008 and the cost was 42 euro and I then bought a fast pass which allowed me on several of the main rides without having to queue for hours. This was an extra 20 euro but considering the time of year it was well worth the extra cost. Park Layout The park is divided into five main areas all based around a different country. They are: Polynesia, Wild West, China, Mexico and Mediterranea Each ... Read the complete review

Review is for the Theme park only and does not include any of the hotels that you can stay at. Whilst revisiting Salou for our summer vacation this year we finally go around to paying a visit to PortAventura which we had not been able to fit in during our previous stay as we ran out of time. PortAventura is Spain's most prestigious theme park located in Taragona and is extremely easy to get to from the surrounding area of Salou and La Pinada and even only 1 ½ hour by train from Barcelona or about 1 hr by coach. From the surrounding areas in Salou you can use the local bus service -Plana is the name of the company which have frequent busses to here, the ... Read the complete review
