Theme parks in Spain

Amusement parks in Barcelona and Tarragona

Thinking of amusement parks in Barcelona and Tarragona means one thing: PorAventuraWorld! This is the most visited leisure complex in Spain, located in Salou, and one of the most popular in Europe. And no wonder. Three very different parks await us here, among which you are sure to have a favourite: PortAventura, Ferrari Land and Caribe Aquatic Park. This is what each of them is like:

• PortAventura. An amusement park awaits us with lots of fun proposals throughout its six themed areas: Mediterrània, Polynesia, China, Mexico, Far West and the Sesamoaventura children's area. In these areas, you will find everything themed, restaurants in all areas, with incredible shows, shops, hotels inside the amusement park and attractions among which we highlight some of the most emblematic: the Dragon Khan (symbol of the park, since its opening), with 8 loops and reaching 110 kilometres per hour; the "hypercoaster" Shambhala, only for the most daring, with the highest drop of all PortAventura; the 100-metre free fall of the Hurakan Condor; or the wooden roller coaster Stampida. The Salou park now has the most extensive map of attractions in Spain.
• Ferrari Land. If you like speed and sports cars, and specifically the Italian racing team founded by Enzo Ferrari, you should not miss this amusement park where you will learn all the details and curiosities of its history, as well as being able to drive one of these cars thanks to the Pole Position Challenge simulator. There is no shortage of adrenaline-pumping attractions at Ferrari Land, such as the Red Force accelerator, which travels 880 metres in just five seconds, reaching 180 kilometres per hour and rising to 112 metres high; the ThrillTowers free fall and bounce towers; the Maranello Grand Race circuit competition; or the Pit Stop Record to put you in the shoes of a mechanic working in the pit lane.
• Caribe Aquatic Park. The most fun place to cool off this summer in the face of the high temperatures. More than 50,000 square meters full of water attractions await you here, from slides to wave pools. Which attractions are not to be missed? For thrills, King Khajuna, a 31-meters free fall, and The Typhoon, a tower where you climb 15 meters and then have to come down... amidst storms and wild turbulence. Of course, there's also a pool with waves (The Bermuda Triangle) and slides (Mambo Limbo).

Amusement parks in Seville

If you are on a trip to Andalusia and want to experience an unforgettable day full of anecdotes and fun, you must visit the Isla Mágica theme park in Seville. Ideal for history lovers and those who want to play at being intrepid adventurers: through its complex you will get to know the customs and the most representative places of one of the most fascinating periods in history, that of the discoveries, between the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Isla Mágica amusement park offers a journey through six different worlds: Seville, Puerto de Indias, when this was the most populated city in the kingdom in the 16th century, with intense commercial and cultural traffic, which acted as a gateway from the New World (America) to Europe; Puerta de América, where the Castle of San Felipe and the city of Cartagena de Indias are located; Amazonia, a tropical, humid and rainy jungle, where we can be seduced by the Iguazú Falls and discover the treasures of the New World, such as El Jaguar; La Guarida de los Piratas, the most dangerous place in Isla Mágica, where the most feared characters of the seas meet; La Fuente de la Juventud, a beautiful place to be eternally young among water lilies, streams and ponds; and the sought-after El Dorado, the legendary lost city.

What are the must-see attractions at Isla Mágica Seville? If you like thrills, don't miss El Desafío, a 68-meters free fall down an Arabian minaret; the El Jaguar roller coaster guarantees a good dose of speed; Iguazú is ideal for cooling off on hot days aboard a raft that descends rivers at 60 kilometers per hour; another must is the intense rafting trip offered by the Rapids of the Orinoco attraction. To take a break from all the hustle and bustle, there is a full program of shows related to the themed areas.

And there's more! On the hottest summer days, don't miss the Agua Mágica-The Seville beach water park. It is located inside the Isla Mágica theme park itself (you have to show your ticket for the amusement park to enter and there is no access from outside). Here you'll find slides and other swings with lots of water, a beach with waves, a zip line over a pool... and much more.
