Guide to Portaventura

'A theme park. A beach paradise. And plenty of sizzling Spanish sunshine. You could only be in one place - Port Aventura. Spain's largest theme park is split into themed areas, so you can take a fascinating journey to Polynesia, Imperial China, Aztec Mexico, the Far West and the Mediterrania.'

For years now, PortAventura has been wowing the world with its thrill-packed mix of white knuckle rides, glitzy shows and eye-popping fireworks. It's got its own water park. And, hotels too. You can choose to stay at the Mediterranean Hotel Portaventura, the Caribbean-like Hotel Caribe or even the Mexican themed Hotel El Paso. But the piece de resistance has to be the new Beach Club down on the sands of Costa Dorada. Ride-wise, the Dragon Khan is certainly the star attraction, but there are plenty of other adrenaline-pumpers in the mix. Tutuki Splash which plunges from volcano to jungle river. Hurakan Condor which free-falls more than 100 metres. And Stampida runaway mine train. It's packed wall-to-wall with adventure. Prefer to keep your feet on the ground? Watch one of dozens of professional shows, where you can see everything from saloon girls doing the Can-Can to back-flipping Chinese acrobats. There really is something for everyone - including water. As exotic as a slice of the Caribbean, the Caribe Aquatic water park is all thatched huts and palm trees - and, as you would expect, it's jam-packed with watery fun. Plunge down slides. Corkscrew through chutes. And if you just want to chill, there's plenty of space to relax and catch some rays. It's not just the grown ups that'll be having a whale of a time either, there's a special section for children with water jets, pools and a baby bungee. Plus the fun doesn't have to end at sundown, instead make a beeline for the Gran Carib. This huge indoor water world is packed attractions. But, lets be honest, no holiday's complete without a bit of seaside sparkle. Cue Port Aventura's latest addition - the Beach Club. This vast stretch of private beach is set aside for guests staying at the Hotel Portaventura and the Hotel Caribe. Sound good? There's more... just off the shore you'll find seven lagoon-like swimming pools cocooned by palm trees. This sun-drenched slice certainly solves the age old problem of deciding between the beach or the pool. What's more, there are two restaurants here so you won't go hungry either. And if you're wondering how you'll get from PortAventura down to the Beach Club, don't worry. There's a regular shuttle service that'll whisk you down to the coast in a flash. In fact, it's clear to see that Port Aventura's got everything you could possibly need to make you Spanish holiday go with a sizzle.
