8 At PortAventura you will get out the long-forgotten child inside you. You will live between reality and fantasy as you could never remember. PortAventura’s characters They go along with visitors, especially with the younger ones, throughout their journey. Woody, the crazy bird and PortAventura’s mascot, both playful and loving, is always figuring out how to have fun and meet new friends. He loves dancing and often tries to get disguised and jump into one of the Park’s live shows in company of his beloved Winnie. Betty Boop, pretty and fussy, is always willing to allow a nice picture taken for your memories. And, from 2008, the sweet Barrio Sésamo (Sesame Street) characters Elmo, Bert, Ernie, the Cookie Monster, Grover and Zoe, have the mission of getting children to enjoy a good time while showing them of fun and satisfying can “learning” be, with all capital letters.

9 Mediterrània You just arrived at PortAventura and Mediterrània welcomes you. The iodine smell, the hospitality of its inhabitants and a kind landscape full of light will be with you throughout your journey through the squares and narrow streets of a village on the Mediterranean shore. Meticulously designed, each building, even the flooring of the “Plaça Major”, has its own actual referents. Whoever may have visited the Plaça Major in Vila de Prades (Baix Camp, Tarragona), will notice the resemblance of both squares regarding floors, with rolling-stone laying by following the tradition prevailing in the Romanic period. For the theme of the Mediterrània area original materials were sought, buildings representative of various Mediterranean peoples were designed and professionals and craftsmen pursued the closest similarity of every detail. The hydraulic mosaic, for instance, found at the gift shop Els Arcs and the ceiling work with dark wooden beams and polychrome paintings resemble the Catalonian manor houses of the late 19th century under the influence of the Modernism. The boats of the “Drassanes” were hauled from Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona) and the “tartana” (clunker) of the masía, the countryhouse, is as genuine as real, as it was donated to the park by a resident of Montbrió del Camp (Tarragona). When you reach the waterline you will feel as if you were in a small fishermen’s village; their houses lined-up facing the sea, the half-moon beach, the port, the boats, and the typical Mediterranean vegetation, with aromatic plants and, of course vines growing up in terraces, on which tops you will find the cellar where, in big casks, the best wine is produced. La casa de Bac0 (Baco’s house) is a great temptation for losing control, where a mad inventor will make your hair spike up should you decide to get on a wagon in Furius Baco. Furius Baco
