In the heart of the Costa Dorada, the picturesque Spanish town of Reus has plenty to boast about from its lovely beaches to its fun-filled fiestas. However not all visitors on cheap Jet2.com flights to Reus are looking to relax, as many head off to PortAventura theme park, just 8km from the heart of Reus and famed as one of the very best theme parks in Europe.

Split into five ‘worlds’, Mediterrania, Polynesia, Mexico, Far West and China, PortAventura has rollercoasters and rides to thrill visitors of all ages. 

That includes the very little ones too, who will love to explore SésamoAventura where they can meet all of their favourite characters from Sesame Street. As for grown-ups, and daring youngsters too, they can take their pick of many hair-raising rides that are sure to get the adrenaline pumping. 

Chilling Coasters

One such ride is the Furius Baco, the fastest rollercoaster in Europe which goes from 0-135km/h in just three seconds. The Shambhala rollercoaster is yet another record-breaker, as at 76 metres tall it will be the tallest rollercoaster in Europe – not one for the faint-hearted!

It’s sure to be a hot day when you visit PortAventura on cheap flights to Reus, so head to the Tutuki Splash ride to cool off on a log flume with a difference, or even pack your swimsuit to spend an afternoon at the Aquatic Park.
