Why choose Spain for your theme park trips?
Spain is one of the favorite destinations for Europeans to combine sunshine and entertainment. The country is home to one of Europe's largest resorts, PortAventura World, but also offers themed gems like Parque Warner in Madrid or the legendary Puy du Fou España in Toledo.

Expert tips to save money and avoid queues
Our tips for optimizing your Spanish trip:
- Book combined tickets: If you visit PortAventura, "2 days / 2 parks" tickets including Ferrari Land are much more cost-effective.
- Manage the heat: In summer, prioritize parks with water areas or visit in the late afternoon. Some parks offer cheaper "evening" tickets.
- Check Live Attendance: Use the Park Trips app to monitor real-time wait times at PortAventura and Parque Warner.
