The theme park resort we're talking about is .
It’s the biggest theme park resort in southern Europe and is just outside the resort town of Salou in Costa Dorada.
There are three different parks to explore - PortAventura Park, Caribe Aquatic Park, and Ferrari Land - and there’s plenty to do for kids and adults of all ages.
PortAventura Park is the first theme park ever in Spain and features different themed lands inspired by destinations around the world, such as Polynesia and China.

For younger kids, there are popular fairground-style rides, like the carousel, bumper cars, and tea cups.
Older kids will enjoy all the roller coasters - and there are 5km worth of them for a truly thrilling experience.
Caribe Aquatic Park is a seasonal water park, and it’s all about pools and slides here.
There are indoor and outdoor options for younger kids, so they don’t need to feel left out if they don’t meet the height requirements for some of the bigger slides.

For motor fans, it’s all go at Ferrari Land, where everything, of course, features a car theme.
There are gentler rides, but theme park fans come here just for Red Force, a launch coaster that goes from 0 to 180km/h in just five seconds.
The great thing about this resort is that you can choose from seven different hotels, each with a different theme.
Six of the hotels are 4*, with unlimited entry into PortAventura Park and Caribe Aquatic Park, plus one day in Ferrari Land included in the price of the stay.
If you stay at the 5* Lucy’s Mansion, though, you get unlimited access to all the parks.
Thanks to the fact that there are so many hotels on-site, it’s much more affordable to stay here too.
Even during school holidays, it’s possible for a week-long stay for a family of three to come in at under £3,000, with flights included.
