What to do and see in Salou, Catalonia: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

May 5, 2022 Rebbecca Marino

Salou, on the Costa Dorada, nestles between quaint Cambrils and calm La Pineda. Just seven miles south of elegant Tarragona, the compact resort town is a family favorite, due in no small part to the existence of Port Aventura and Aquopolis theme parks. Gentle beaches and a slew of exciting fiestas in August add to Salou's appeal for families.

See myself as a thrill seeker and love a challenge so had to check out Bosc Aventura. A thorough safety briefing and was away! Had excellent encouragement and banter with the instructor through the two bigger courses. The bigger course was much longer then expected with plenty of zip lines and challenging obstacles.

This is an excellent theme park, way better than anything in the UK, its very clean and well designed and something for everyone, especially those that seek the thrill of big rides. Height restrictions are spot on as some really aren't suitable for the bravest of younger children. We has express passes as part of hotel package but if you time it right you can avoid lots of queuing without if you take advantage of the late opening times.
