Today I will introduce you one of the most interesting activities you can do while living in Barcelona. It is one of the biggest theme parks in Europe, it has a lot of roller coasters…yes, I'm talking about PortAventura!!!
At the entrance of PortAventura!
This weekend my cousins and I decided to do something exciting so we agreed to go to PortAventura, the best theme park in Spain, which is in the province of Tarragona (south of Catalonia). PortAventura is a theme park and a resort in the well-known city for tourists of Salou; on the Costa Daurada, approximately an hour drive south-west of Barcelona. You can get there taking the highways AP-7/A-7 by car and by using the train (there is a nearby station). It attracts around 4 million visitors per year making it the most visited theme park in Spain.
Among all the attractions in PortAventura, there are some that outstand over the rest. These are: Furius Baco, Dragon Khan, Shambhala and Hurakan Condor Ride.
Furius Baco: This one will catapult you dramatically horizontal in a shuttle from 0 to 135 km/h in three seconds.

Shambhala: Totally insane, I cannot explain how crazy it is! Check this out:
The attraction beats three European records:
1. The highest rollercoaster in Europe (76 meters)
2. Rollercoaster with the longest fall in Europe (78 meters)
3. The fastest European hypercoaster, it will reach 134 km / h on the first descent.
Hurakan Condor Ride: The only attraction of the park that will rise to 100 meters for you to experience what its like during a true free fall. Scaring!
There are, of course, other attractions that are very good too, but these four are the most exciting ones. Be brave and try them all!
In addition, we were lucky enough to enter into the park when it was acclimated in a Halloween-fashion. So cool! You could see skulls, pumpkins, spiders and blood everywhere…but the best time was in the afternoon/night, when everyone got dressed and some crew of the park tried to scare you!!

Enjoy PortAventura! :)
