PortAventura World is a fab theme park in Salou, Spain. I’ve said it’s a great option for big kids given the rollercoasters and higher height requirements - but our two little ones also had a great time there! I have a blog post about our experience where I have listed things that the little ones could do. I posted yesterday about Billund in Denmark, which I think would be a better trip with small children.
We’ve put a post together with Jet2holidays that include PortAventura tickets. Comment HOTELS and I’ll send you the link and the blog post about our time there 💛
