About Port Aventura World
About Port Aventura World
PortAventura World sits in Salou on Spain's Costa Daurada, about an hour south of Barcelona, and is one of Europe's largest theme park resorts. The main PortAventura Park runs themed areas (Mediterrània, Polynesia, China, México, Far West, SésamoAventura) and major coasters including Shambhala, Dragon Khan, Furius Baco (with a 135 km/h launch), and the classic Stampida. A separate Ferrari Land with Red Force - Europe's tallest coaster at 112 m - sits next door.
Spanish, French and UK school holidays drive huge crowds to PortAventura, especially during July and August and the Halloween season. Midweek days in May, June and September are dramatically calmer. Check live wait times for Shambhala and Red Force on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a lower-crowd date - PortAventura's resort hotels make multi-day visits easy to plan.
