PortAventura Park Trip Report Photos Taken: 08/20/2022 Posted: 12/01/2023

A long time in the making, visiting PortAventura Park near Barcelona, Spain has been a bucket list item for me for quite a while. This park has had a varied and very interesting history having formerly been owned by Anheuser-Busch, Tussauds Group and Universal Parks and Resorts during different times of its 28 years of existence.

PortAventura Park is the centerpiece of the PortAventura World Resort composed also of Ferrari Land, Caribe Aquatic Park and six hotels. We stayed at Colorado Creek and spent two days at the resort. There's a lot of great to say about this place as well as plenty of constructive feedback and things to watch out for. Read on through this massive photo update as we take you around the main park and share our experiences.

If you're interested in Ferrari World and Red Force, make sure you also check out this update on that park.

Interestingly, this ride had its own Express tickets that had to be purchased to skip the line. We actually chose to wait in the line the first time through.
