A day trip from Barcelona to PortAventura World in Salau is sure to please the whole family. PortAventura World is an enormous entertainment resort and theme park that offers hair-raising rides and roller coasters for all ages. In total, the park boasts 43 themed rides which range in excitement from the terrifying Dragon Khan roller coaster to the much more sedate Teacups for younger visitors. You can reach the park by train in just over an hour from Barcelona and there are on-site hotels if you would like to spread the fun over two days. Besides the rides, the resort also produces several shows and parades.
