Overall, our visit to PortAventura World in Salou, Spain was a magical experience full of wonder and exhilaration that the whole family enjoyed.

We arrived at the park at 11am, and immediately felt the inviting, lively atmosphere that PortAventura is known for. The park was well-organized and all sections were clearly marked, making navigation effortless for both adults and children. We appreciated the easy access to park maps and helpful staff that made our journey through the park more enjoyable.

Our day began with Mediterrània, a beautiful area that represents a traditional Mediterranean town. We were charmed by the quaint architecture and the gorgeous seaside ambiance. The adults enjoyed the coffee shops while the children loved the thrilling boat ride, Port de la Drassana.

Next, we ventured into the Far West, an area brimming with the spirit of the Old West. The two adult males in our group particularly enjoyed the Stampida, a competitive wooden roller coaster. The young girls in our group, however, were more taken with the Penitence Train, a calmer ride suitable for their age.

Polynesia was next on our list. This section was a tropical paradise with lush greenery and soothing waterfall sounds. The adult females loved the Tutuki Splash, a volcanic-themed water ride that provided a thrilling yet refreshing experience under the warm Spanish sun. The girls were entranced by the beautiful bird performances in Aves del Paraíso.

We then journeyed to México. Here, the Hurakan Condor, a freefall tower ride, stole the show. It was quite the adrenaline rush for the adults. For the girls, we took them to Los Potrillos, a gentle horse ride that they thoroughly enjoyed. The authentic Mexican food we had for lunch was flavorful and satisfied our midday hunger.

Our last stop was China. The breathtaking recreation of the Great Wall was truly impressive. The Dragon Khan roller coaster provided a thrilling ending for the adults' journey, with its eight inversions and high-speed turns. The girls, on the other hand, found magic in the area's tea cups ride, the Magic Fish.

We wrapped up our day at around 8pm. The whole group unanimously agreed that PortAventura World was an unforgettable experience. There was a good balance of attractions catering to both thrill-seekers and those seeking a more relaxed pace. The park was clean, the food was tasty, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

In conclusion, our visit to PortAventura World was a captivating adventure that brought smiles to our faces and left us with cherished memories. The seamless blend of different cultures and the variety of rides and attractions catered to our diverse group and ensured that everyone had a fantastic time. If you are visiting a hotel in salou with TUI I would recommend double checking the prices with some others, as they quoted us a higher price for this and another excursion to Barcelona zoo.
