Great view at night. Quite a lot restaurants and cafes even for glass of wine.

Parked in the underground car park here and walked up into La plaza mayor. It was a cold, windy day in November. Took a short walk to the riverside park for a very nice walk there. At the weekend on a fine day it would be lovely.

Plaza Mayor is very similar to all the other Plaza Mayor around Spain. The one in Valladolid is a little quieter, but it's surrounded by beautiful buildings.

Beautiful especially at night time, the cafe's at the Plaza are expensive and food is mediocre, avoid them

It was so wonderful that we are coming back to Valladolid next January 2024

Even more beautiful with the Christmas lights! Be prepared for a crowd. ;-)

Beautiful centre square, especially at night, just don't sit and eat at the cafe's, expensive and mediocre

1, the way up to the cave is very beautiful, full of sycamore trees. 2, Inside the cave is really cold, indeed. Remember to bring a jacket or a coat. 3, the cave itself is amazing of course, art of nature and time. But, yes, but, if you have already been some similar places like this, it wouldn't surprise you too much. For example, Reed Flute cave, Guilin, China, it is much bigger and more complicated. 4, it could be boring for children. We didn't think to bring Mei here before because we knew it could be boring for her yet, but her grandparents were here and they wanted to visit it so.....yes, we were right. Mei felt bored after staying in the cave for a while. A 6 years old kid, watching "stones " in the dark and cold..... not very good idea. 5, although, outside, the view is nice at sunset. And those cows are very calm. 😍 6, There are EV chargers.

Impressive and unique experience Guides are funny and friendly 1 min little train ride down to cave. Bring a jumper it's cold You will walk 2.4 km inside Parking outside Book your cave visit in advance if you don't want to wait. 15 euros per person Great panoramic view at the top in front of entrance.

The train was not working - which I can understand, but it would've been nice if we're informed in advance before I'm waiting an hour as this was the primary reason I wanted to do the tour. The tour guide speaks no English at all, so you have no context or information to make the experience more enjoyable. If you haven't seen such caves before, or you speak Spanish I highly recommend it, but as someone who has seen similar formations before it felt quite disappointing.

Fabulous experience, the separate location mine adventure was great but you need to be fit to do it. The cave adventure was very good fun with knowledgeable guides. You must book in advance for all tours as very popular.

Excellent visit on little train and walking. Good guide who explained the cave. Stalagmites and stalactites quite spectacular. Good cafe serving well priced food. Well worth a visit.

Interesting experience however the fact that all tours are in Spanish only is a major drawback. There were people from France, Germany & the Netherlands to mention a few, none of whom spoke Spanish. I would have expected an audio guide to be available or some sort of information leaflet in other languages. The absence of this certainly diminished the visit for me.

Nice place,beautiful cave nice panoramic view outside. Reservations acquired in summer. You enter the cave by train,then there is a walk with a guide who does the explanation about the cave, how they discovered it,etc... Arrived in the morning and could only buy tickets for the afternoon. But worth it, very beautiful inside especially with the lights

Having cycled into the town to visit the house we were disappointed to have to buy tickets for entry later in the day! Eventually once our time arrived the walk around this house was very rewarding and interesting. An app enabled access to a description of each room but I think given the popularity and diversity of people visiting the app could have been more interactive!

El Capricho de Gaudí was one of the most enchanting architectural experiences I’ve ever had. The moment you arrive, you can feel Gaudí’s creativity everywhere—bright colors, whimsical details, and a design that feels both playful and brilliant at the same time. Walking through the house and gardens feels like stepping into a dream. Every corner has something unique to admire, whether it’s the ceramic sunflowers, the curved lines, or the way the light fills each room. You can really sense Gaudí’s genius and imagination in every detail. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit even more enjoyable by sharing insights and fun facts that brought the space to life. It’s the kind of place that’s beautiful not just to see, but to explore and really experience. Overall, El Capricho de Gaudí is a must-visit for architecture lovers, art enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates something truly unique. It’s charming, inspiring, and absolutely unforgettable.

I am not familiar with the area so this was a huge surprise. The queue to get in was fine for a July weekday. But you could also great views from the park side. The minaret was fabulous and took on a Lego effect.

Great to see one of Gaudi’s early works up close. We visited out of season at end of September so no queues and not too busy. I imagine that in high season it would be a bit more cramped and worthwhile planning a guided tour to make things easier.

If you are interested in architecture you will enjoy this place. If you are interested in Gaudí, you will enjoy this place. If you are not interested in architecture or Gaudí, you will still probably have a great time here. The free online interactive audioguide, accessible from your phone, makes the experience very instructive and worth the price of admission on top of the obvious beauty of the place. They have access slots, so be ready to wait or go for a walk in the village while you wait for yours.

Beautiful house designed by Gaudi. Very interesting architecture and details all over. It's actually quite amazing they were able to restore it that well, based on what it looked like 30 years ago

This a place to visit as it is the first building built by Gaudí. Dogs are allowed in the garden so you can take turns to see the building. There is a small cafe and a souvenir shop. There are stairs so it's not accessible for wheelchair.

This is a great activity for families, it is dual language and the staff are very helpful and nice. The main museum is built around the cave, the tickets are free and they give you an entry time to control the amount of people in the cave at any one time, which is a good idea. There are a few other bits to see on site to kill time, plus a cafe and gift shop. Certainly worth a visit.

Well worth the effort, we had an excellent experience...it was busy so our tickets for the recreation cave was 1.45pm so we had an hour & a half to 'kill' but surprisingly it whizzed by there was so much to see & do. We walked to the 1928 house, had a look at the temporary exhibition, had a cup of coffee in the cafe (they do a two course lunch from 1.30pm) & having looked in the gift shop we did the general museum. Lots to see, signs in Spanish & English. We were impressed. Then we checked in for the new cave experience...five minute film then follow the arrows & you end up in a recreation of the original cave... it's a wow...

Fascinating museum with well-presented exhibits and a pleasant cafe serving local dishes. There is normally a short wait for entry to the Neocueva but it is unmissable. A painstakingly accurate facsimile of the actual cave, which is no longer open to the public. Good facilities for those with limited mobility, including ramps and lifts. Wheelchairs available.

Visiting the National Museum & Research Center of Altamira was an unforgettable experience! The museum beautifully showcases prehistoric art, including the famous Altamira cave paintings. The replicated caves offer a fascinating glimpse into ancient human creativity, and the exhibits on human evolution are both educational and captivating. The highlight was seeing the iconic handprints and ancient animal drawings, which truly transport you back in time. The displays are well-organized, and the information panels are clear and insightful, making it an ideal place for history enthusiasts and families alike. Highly recommended for anyone interested in archaeology and ancient art. The atmosphere is immersive and well worth the visit!

If you want to enter expect an affordable entry fee (3€ pP) good quality online guide nice replicas and unfriendly staff. It's better to get an online reservation for entry otherwise you may have to wait several hours. Very disrespectful towards indigenous groups and absolutely NOT children friendly. No animals/dogs allowed. We came to visit explicitly for the replica of the cave (neocave). Immediately after entering the replica building we were told to be quiet (baby saying 'dadada') and shortly after I was guided out of there with my 1yo because he was simply trying to talk. We had waited 1,5hours to be able to enter and have only seen about 10% - but none of the paintings. The same time of our visit there were at least three different groups with tour guides and many others talking as loudly as they were in a tavern. We are very disappointed and will not recommend going there with children. In the additional exhibition it is stated that there are videos of indigenous people shown. Some do not want to have their deceased relatives displayed in such videos. So it is stated 'those have been warned'. In full: 'To many aboriginal communities it is disrespectful and offensive to depict people who have died. Communities who may be offended are warned that the following documentaries may contain such scenes.' This is absolutely disrespectful towards indigenous groups. If the museum KNOWS that some indigenous groups do NOT want those people displayed and even puts up a warning it is still NOT OKAY to show those videos to the public. End of story. No consent means NO. Do not show it. Additionally I found many of the information panels provided a very euro-centric and white supremacist view. For example at the part 'human evolution' - Why are all of the depicted people white? Information about La Dama Roja de El Mirón says 'The woman was robust, 35-40 years old, dark skinned and in apparent good health' and it's briefly mentioned next to one picture. But the drawings of the other information panels only show white people which might mislead into thinking only white people existed back then. I would not recommend the visit.

Really unprofessional for a UNESCO world heritage site. The tour of the cage is fully in Spanish, no signs in the important areas. The audio guide requires a buggy app, and doesn’t match the speed of the tour at all. Missing all the interesting facts about the cave drawings. Really disappointing, and embarrassing for such an institution…

A stunning and beautiful museum about a fascinating and important site. The museum itself is broken up into several parts - The Neocave (the star of the show for me) recreates parts of the original cave, including the occupation areas at the front of the cave and a cavern recreating some of the prehistoric artwork. Other parts of the museum are dedicated to the prehistory of the area before Altamira, a part dedicated to looking at some of the other Ave and rock art from the area which really help put the site in context. There are some liveky external walks, including a walk up to the original cave entrance. My partner is disabled and uses a scooter to get around. He found it very accessible and easy to navigate. My only major criticism is that they say they have a cafe, but in reality, these are a few vending machines and tables (they do have a separate picnic area). As this museum requires at least 3-4 hours to visit, I would recommend brining a picnic. For the price of 3 euros a visit this is definitely worth the money and visit.

The wine museum was genuinely interesting to visit, and the entrance is free, which is a nice bonus. The castle can only be visited with a guided tour, which might be a plus for those who enjoy detailed explanations. Personally, I would have preferred to explore it on my own. The view from the top platform of the castle is beautiful, but inside there isn’t much to see, as none of the original interiors have been preserved.

Nice visit to the castle. Couldn't understand much as the guide was talking really fast. But is is an nice sight to behold and well worth a visit

Beautiful castle, build like a ship with a long and impressive history There are also great views of the area from the top of it Check the opening time, we got there at around 13:30 but it closes at 14:00 so we couldn’t go in so we came back after 16:00 when they opens up again The wine museum is worthwhile a visit if anything for the smelling exercise you can do inside

You can only visit as part of a guided tour in Spanish. So a wasted journey. Anyway, the castle looks better when seen from the town We don't do guided tours unless it's somewhere very very special like the Altamira Caves

Beautiful looking castle structure with great views. I did not go in.

Wonderful views from a castle steeped in Spanish history. Long walk up steep road to access, but plenty of parking if driving at the top. €6.20 ticket for adult guided tour and entry to the wine museum.

The castle itself is wonderful and impressive, however, it turned out to be a wine tour/museum, so the only way to see the inside is on a wine tour. You cannot roam by yourself, which was a disappointment. Still feel the "touch of history" by visiting

Fantastic experience for children We went with our toddler and he absolutely loved riding in the cable cars and spotting animals. You can then drive around to different enclosures for a closer look. Facilities were great - toilets and refreshment stands throughout the park and very well run. I would suggest you leave enough time to fully explore the park. We had 2 and a half hours and it was only enough to do the cable car route, see the reptile house, rhinos and tigers even without stopping for lunch. Highly recommend.

Overall, we were a bit disappointed. Value wise - at 140 Euros for a family it felt overpriced. No suggested routes, old signage/ information about the animals as well as chaotic and crowded roads around the park. We did not see many staff around the park, and it felt a bit unloved. Animals were great, especially the cable car over the elephant enclosure.

I was worried that without car we will suffer but actually it is quite easy, we took a zoo bus and a cable car, and we walked. So I must say that even without car the visit to this parque is a great idea! We even took a public bus to Santander and it was a cheap and pleasant trip. The parque itself is much better than any regular zoo! Definitely worth visiting

Must visit place. That’s how all the zoos should be organised with a huge territories for the animals. Incredible nature around and a lot of animals in the natural habitat

Best day out. Still need to go back. One trip is not enough.

Beautiful landscape formed by a former open mine, now all holes have become enclosures for animals. This means every animal has at least a football field worth of space. You would expect that it would be more difficult that way to see the animals but that is not the case. The place is huge so you get around by car with a small parking lot at every enclosure, there’s also a cable car that takes you over most enclosures with a unique view of the animals, it feels a bit like a safari. Entrance is a bit steep, but worth it. Prices of drinks and food inside are fair for a park like this. Because the place is so big, it never feels busy except at the entrance to the cable cars there’s a small line.

Very nice animal reserve. The animals have a lot of room to roam and appear to be well taken care of. There are two cable car routes above the enclosures that give great views included in the ticket price.

Fabulously picturesque and immensely photogenic, the Magdalena Peninsula was the highlight of my stay in Santander. I wish I had a whole day to spend there and take in all the views. The sunsets there are simply magnificent.

What a beautiful place to visit even as a tourist. We were travelling with an aged mom and were delighted to hear that she didn't have to walk up the hill to the palace as there's a train (bus) one can hop on that takes a slow trip up the hill. Cost was 5€. The grounds are immaculate and there's benches placed throughout the peninsula where you can sit and enjoy the view. It's a lovely area to stroll around.

Inside the palace is exquisite and at 3 euros for a guided tour well worth it but the grounds and seascapes are stunning. You can see and hear the power of the waves crashing into the cliffs. A short bus journey (1.30 euros each way) will take you there and entry to the grounds is free.

Very nice, green and peaceful place! Perfect for a walk! Beautiful places to visit and eat! Surrounded by water with amazing views, and that sound of waves crashing on the rocks, ahh... miss this place!

The grounds surrounding the Palace are absolutely stunning, with beautiful cliff edges where you can feel the full force of the atlantic wind. The park is really well maintained and is a lovely place to just sit and chill. The actual peninsula is 5 stars for definite, but the park area lacks toilets and amenities. The mini zoo (with sea lions and penguins) seems cruel and unnecessary. The animals don't have much space and some don't seem very healthy, which put a gloomy cloud over what an otherwise lovely trip to the park.

It's very beautiful place. You can go to castle Magdalena or visit mini zoo. Over there is amazing view. You should to visit this place if you in Santander

The Magdalena Peninsula is a 28 hectare peninsula located near the entrance to the Bay of Santander. The peninsula is a popular recreational destination for both tourists and locals. The historic Palacio de la Magdalena is located on the peninsula, which along with its surrounding gardens, is designated as a cultural heritage site. Also located on the peninsula is a small zoo, three galleons of the Cantabrian mariner Vital Alsar Ramírez and a lighthouse.

The Burgos Cathedral is located in the historical centre of the Spanish city of the same name. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1221 and was completed in 1567. It is a comprehensive example of the evolution of Gothic style, with the entire history of Gothic art exhibited in its superb architecture and unique collection of art, including paintings, choir stalls, reredos, tombs, and stained-glass windows. Burgos Cathedral has the distinction of being the only Cathedral in Spain to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site independently from the historic center of the city it is located in. The visit of the Cathedral lasts 1 hour approx. It is very large, with many small chapels. It is worth visiting slowly. Entry fee at time of writing / visiting : from 10 Euros Free Entry: Entry to the cathedral is free on Tuesday afternoons between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm in the summer (and 4:30 pm to 6 pm in the winter). My way on Camino de Santiago Visited April 2025

One of the richest cathedrals I’ve ever seen! The intricate art and sculptures inside are simply amazing. There is a free audio guide that you can access via your phone. It is hard to listen though while also taking in the beauty of each chapel and artwork at the same time. 😅 This is a must-visit in Burgos!

Espectacular cathedral with a fast and efficient check out service tickets. No matter your believes it’s a must visit. The details of all of the walls and structure is impressive. You would like to spend like at least an hour and a half to enjoy all the places inside.

This may be one of the most beautiful churches I have visited. St Peters in Rome may be grander but the Burgos Cathedral has so many beautiful chapels inside it, each distinct. Some of the chapels are humongous, bigger than small churches. Burgos Cathedral is awesome, a must see!

Huge building. We were to late to visit,as we arrived only in the evening. Impressive building and probably worth to visit also inside. Tickets can be purchased during the day at the entrance. The large squares around the Cathedral are pleasant for a drink or to stroll around with an ice cream.

Burgos Cathedral is one of Spain’s most impressive Gothic landmarks and a true architectural marvel. From the moment you approach its elaborate façade and soaring spires, the grandeur is unmistakable. Inside, the cathedral is equally breathtaking, with richly decorated chapels, vaulted ceilings, and intricately carved choir stalls that reflect centuries of craftsmanship and devotion. A particular highlight is the tomb of El Cid and his wife, placed prominently beneath the central dome—an evocative tribute to one of Spain’s legendary historical figures. The Golden Staircase, the elaborate main altarpiece, and the stunning dome above the crossing all add to the cathedral’s majesty. The visit includes access to the Cathedral Museum, which is thoughtfully integrated into several side chapels and rooms. The collection spans medieval to Renaissance periods and includes religious paintings, fine metalwork, textiles, and illuminated manuscripts. Each exhibit is well presented and offers deeper insight into the religious and artistic history of the region. The cloister provides a peaceful contrast to the main cathedral space, and its sculpted tombs add to the sense of history. Overall, Burgos Cathedral is not only a place of worship but a living museum of Gothic art and Spanish heritage. A must-see for any visitor to the city.

A wonderful experience. Well kept for all to enjoy. Pay for entrance when you arrive. There will be busy days/times. We visited fairly early after opening.

Highlight of our cruise to Spain and Portugal was a visit to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The structure is iconic in itself, made of titanium sheets laid over a free-form pattern. The inner structure is just as amazing in design. Housed within, are notable creations of contemporary art. The large oil painting in black, with a small corner left natural, the work of Robert Motherwell. The labyrinth of huge steel sheets, coiled, eager to welcome curious visitors. I came away wondering, ‘what is art?’ Be sure to enlarge the paper cut-out collage. There are some worthy quotations to remember. A very reasonable 9 euros entrance fee. Great gift shop for a memento. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Absolutely loved the Guggenheim Bilbao! The architecture alone is breathtaking — you could spend an hour just walking around the building and taking in the curves, reflections, and the river views. Inside, the exhibitions are beautifully curated, modern, bold, and inspiring. Every room feels like a new experience; the whole visit felt smooth and welcoming. A must-see in Bilbao — worth every minute!

Iconic showcase of art in a spectacular building. For someone who is not a big fan of art museums, I found this place very interesting and amusing. Every single room had a unique feature and I didn’t get bored even after spending 1.5hrs in here. A must-see in Bilbao! You can buy ticket online. I got there with 10 groups waiting in front of me to buy tickets so I just quickly bought it online and skipped the long queue. Only takes 2-3 mins max

We visited Friday, September 5, 2025. The building is beautiful. Unique and bold. Really stands out. We spent about 90 minutes here on a Friday afternoon. Well worth it if you are in the area. I loved the large exhibits.

It’s world-famous for a reason! I am in no way well-versed in art but I really enjoyed all 3 floors of the museum. I appreciated the variety of media, artists, eras, and kind of art featured here. I think what made it more fun was how interactive some of them are, and some exhibitions were also larger than life. It featured both big and rising, international and local names in the industry which was a great way to highlight other people in the industry. I appreciated how organized the museum was as well. There was a Yayoi Kusama exhibition, which would normally take forever to see but they planned it very well. It was a really quick few seconds to see it but this made the line go faster and didn’t hold up anyone who wanted to see it. The featured artist at that time was also very talented and fun to see! Lots of interactive and dynamic art featured that changed the experience for the viewer every room we visited. We also didn’t buy tickets ahead and I really thought we missed our chance, but the museum allotted tickets for walk-in visitors. The line went so fast as well which we appreciated a lot. So it was a very pleasant experience!!

The exterior of the museum is phenomenal, truly worth seeing with your own eyes. However, the exhibitions are a hit or miss. Perhaps I had unreasonably high expectations, which ultimately led to my disappointment. I have visited contemporary art museums with better exhibitions in the past, that's all I'm saying!!! The entrance fee is not expensive in all means. 6 euros with a student ID. I stayed here for a bit more than one hour.

The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is an architectural and cultural masterpiece that offers an immersive experience in contemporary art, both for its iconic structure and for the works on display. The Guggenheim in Bilbao, designed by Frank Gehry, is considered one of the most revolutionary architectural works of the 20th century. Its titanium, glass and limestone structure, with curved and fluid shapes, almost looks like an urban sculpture. Visiting the museum is already an artistic experience in itself, even before entering. Inside, the museum houses a vast collection of modern and contemporary art, with works by artists such as Richard Serra, Anselm Kiefer, Cy Twombly, Mark Rothko, Louise Bourgeois and Yves Klein. Among the most famous installations is The Matter of Time by Serra, an immersive path through gigantic steel spirals B. Outside, two works have become symbols of the museum: • Puppy by Jeff Koons: a giant dog covered with fresh flowers. • Maman by Louise Bourgeois: a huge spider-shaped sculpture, powerful and disturbing. The Guggenheim is not just a museum, but a sensory and intellectual experience. It is a place where art dialogues with urban space, and where every corner invites reflection. As a visitor wrote: It's absolutely not true that it's only nice outside. The Guggenheim deserves as much on the outside as on the inside

Joined tour from get your guide on a sunny day. We arrived there in a small group with tour guide’s driving us. At the beginning the tour guide took us to a public toilet and there will be no toilet afterwards. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a jacket that you can take off while keep walking. Bring water. At the end of the walk, there will be a store selling water and simple food.

Spectacular. We’ve visited in beginning of October and it was still fairly crowded although not too crowded. Perhaps also as it was during the week and around 4PM In the afternoon. The walk from the nearest parking is relatively short. On the way back there’s a little elevation but nothing crazy. A massive restaurant and public restrooms available.

An incredibly suggestive place to visit, even if you are not a Game of Thrones fan. You must be fit though - the return uphill walk is tough. Remember to book a free ticket online well before your visit or you will not be allowed in. Entries are booked well in advance.

Get tickets ahead of time. They dont cost but you will need them to get in. If you find a site that claims to get you in for a few it is a scam. This place is highly worth the visit. The history, the Stations of the Cross walk up the steps, and the scenery is some of the best you'll find in the world. The climb back can be deceivingly difficult so pace yourself.

Sunset was definitely a good idea! Really nice place! But be ready for steep downhill cobblestone road you have to walk down and up!

Buy a ticket for entry in advance or go before they open. We arrived at 7am and parked in the top free lot and walked in. It was an hour there and back of you didn’t stop to take photos. We only ran into 4 people coming down the steps and we were there for sun rise but the clouds didn’t part to give us a show. Rain started as we were making our way to the car. Take a headlamp as it was pitch black when we began not wheelchair accessible. From their website “NOTES Wear comfortable clothing and footwear that are suitable for the path. Please note that the path is very steep. You should make sure you take water with you to cool down. This route is physically very demanding and it is therefore not recommended for people with health problems or who find it hard to walk, or people with children’s pushchairs. Due to the slopes and state of the ground, visiting the San Juan de Gaztelugatxe chapel is not recommended for people with certain types of physical disabilities. If you have one of those disabilities, we suggest you enjoy the view from the viewpoint on the Ermu route. Don’t forget to take sun cream with you in summer and on sunny days.

Went on a tour from Get Your Guide ‘From Bilbao: Gaztelugatxe, Gernika, and Mundaka Guided Tour’ - would really recommend. Walk was tough in hot weather but really enjoyable. Definitely worth it!

Truely terrific place. A combination of a chruch and city walls on an uneven ground. This lead to constructual problems that have been bugged the building for ages. And then in the sixthees a desasterous decision to remove internal buttresses. in english a very good guide through the building, from underground to the tower with views over the country side. You have to make a reservation through Internet or in person. In the end they show the true colours of the building, from now to the 16th century Closed between 1400 and 16.30m Worth the trip

We had a tour in Spanish, but with audioguide in English. We never had such a great, complete experience from enormous foundations to the roof, and everything in between. The restoration is well done. Tour guide was friendly and helpful. The Cathedral is not so over-decorated as many others in Spain, but very interesting non the less. Highly recommend tour!

The building was closed for renovation when we visited. Beautiful architecture in a very friendly town.

As the Cathedral is still in a period of extended restoration you have to visit with a guided tour, so the entrance fee will set you back around ten euros, unless you qualify for a concession. However the tour is detailed and exhaustive, including a trip down through its crumbling foundation pillars, then into its spectacular romanesque interior before going up to the Tower. The journey there, along a narrow ledge that overlooks the cathedral interior, before acsending up a spiral staircase, is almost as exciting as the views it offers of the surrounding city.

It is certainly not the prettiest or the mos architecturally inspiring cathedral in Spain. However, it has an interesting story of trying to withstand the original construction errors. Fortunately, the cathedral has been saved from an imminent collapse after the last restoration. The guided visit is super interesting, as it takes you to places that are usually not accessible to the public, including the foundations.

A must visit in Vitoria-Gasteiz! Guided tours are very good...best option is: Cathedrale Tour + Tower! View from there above the city is awesome! They have guided tours in English...but also audioguides in different languages! This is a sure must visit if you are in town. Check out the tours on their official site! Never had a guided tour like this...for that price...anyway in this world! The Tour ends with projection show of how the coloring of the church was ages ago...never saw something like this before...even in Rome or somewhere else! So much love and affection to history combined with modern technology!

The work done of restoration of this Cathedral is amazing. It seems that construction was not very well done, and during the time the attempts to repair it were not very successfully also. From a few year now, was done a huge work to understand was was wrong and what exactly had to be done to save the building.

Very busy street. Great choice of Tapas bars. A must see in Logrona

The highlight of my trip. What an experience from a food perspective. I went there 3 consecutive nights for food and atmosphere. Highly recommended

It is still fine the street but has made a huge change after the Pandemic. I went during the week so it was not super busy

Only one word - AMAZING!

The place to find great food offerings and drinks. Recommended.

A wonderful experience, buzzing and so many exciting places to graze.

Amazing street , amazing food !

Wow. What an amazing place. Well worth the walk. Free entry too (though donations can be made).

Amazing. Parked with the campervan on the Duero river and this place is a lovely stroll along the banks. Free entry and what an experience. Well worth a visit. Soria is an amazing place as well.

Interesting little place. Well worth the climb. Closed on Mondays, unless you just like climbing.

Beautiful setting. The chapel in the grotto under the church is fascinating, but inaccessible with Covid-19 protocols in place. The capacity in the main church is limited to 30 and opens every 30 minutes for people to view. You are only able to walk into the main church at this time under these limited conditions. Masks are required the entire time.

Incredible how they builded this church from the ground up. Very nice inside and out. I just took my time inside the service area by seating at the back of the room and dwell on the scenery.

Really worth a visit.. And it's free to go in. Fantastic chapel. Quite a few steps and a little climb but worth it.

Amazing and historical site in Soria. Read the story in the vitro window about the boy that fell and was unharmed thank to the saint's protection

I loved the size of the beach. Despite the crowds, it never felt overcrowded. If you enjoy proper swimming, you can swim long distances across the width of the beach. There are also several good restaurants within walking distance. Plus, there’s convenient access to public restrooms. I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful beach. Mostly always well kept. Even if you don't like sand is very nice to stroll along just about any time of day.

Fantastic city beach with safe swimming water. There is an arched promenade allowing for shade if needed with young children.

One cannot come to San. Sebastian and not come to the beach. For goodness sake, this is the paradise part of SS. Full of people but ALWAYS enough space for everyone. Amazing and a must come for the sunshine!

Very beautiful in picture beach in the centre of Saint Sebastian. I really love my visit to the spot. Lots of people enjoying the weather and the scenic view. Around the beach area, there is plenty to see, including tourist attractions and spots to enjoy refreshments and food.

As far as I can tell it is no less than the most beautiful city beach or bay in Europe. Of course you have to be lucky with the weather, as on hot days it feels like the whole city is digging through the sand. The huge dimensions only become clear on a walk or a drive up one of the two hills (Monte Igueldo or Urgull). It is a little unusual that there is so little catering right on the promenade.

Stunning city beach! Great moment for a nice walk at the beach a few meters only from the city center. Definitely a place to be in this city

Dear Duty Manager, I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with my recent stay at your hotel, which has regrettably concluded with my early departure and relocation to the Gran Hotel La Perla. Staff and Service Issues: The reception staff demonstrated a consistent lack of professionalism and helpfulness throughout my stay. I observed a marked difference in their demeanor when assisting Spanish-speaking guests versus others, which is unacceptable in any hospitality establishment. Every reasonable request I made was met with responses such as “we can’t do that,” “no sorry,” or worse, false information and blank stares. This is not the service standard one expects from a property charging rates comparable to a Hyatt Regency or Mandarin Oriental. Dining Experience: The in-room dining hours are woefully inadequate, and the menu offerings were utterly tasteless. The hotel restaurant was shameful in its execution. For context, the Auberge in Zubiri where I dined yesterday delivered an experience approaching Michelin-star quality - a stark and embarrassing contrast to your establishment. Room Conditions: The room itself was substandard in multiple respects: • Overly starched, uncomfortable linens • No air conditioning or adequate cooling system • Dirty bathroom upon arrival • Television remote control held together with tape • An antiquated television with no modern connectivity options (no screen sharing capability) • Insufficient pillows (which I had to specifically request) • Intrusive lighting from the pool area that illuminated my room to an unbearable degree throughout the evening Value Proposition: Your hotel charges premium rates that match genuinely luxury properties, yet delivers a 4-star experience at best - and frankly, even that rating feels generous given my experience. This represents exceptionally poor value and, quite frankly, misleading positioning in the market. Management Perspective: I must address what appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding by your management team: not all Camino pilgrims stay in hostels. Many of us, myself included, regularly patronize 5-star establishments for respite during our journey. We are experienced travelers who frequently review accommodations, dining, and travel services. Your assumption that pilgrims represent a lower-tier clientele is both incorrect and insulting. Resolution: I have absorbed the cancellation fees and relocated to the Gran Hotel La Perla, where I should have trusted my instincts to book initially. I hope by posting a detailed review on Google will assist other travelers in my position be forewarned. They deserve to know they should either continue walking or stay at the superior property across the plaza. I expect no response to this complaint, as my experience suggests it would likely be another “we can’t do that.” However, I sincerely hope you will use this feedback to reassess your service standards, facility maintenance, and approach to guest relations. Regards, P.

Could be a lovely place to stay with some simple changes. The location was great, although parking at the hotel expensive. We parked a little way from the hotel which allowed us to enjoy walking through Pamplona’s beautiful gardens. Our room was spacious, but no kettle. Fridge very small and didn’t work properly. Some of the staff very unfriendly. The lady who checked us in was clearly not having a good day or needs another job. Lovely drinks area but very unfriendly service. Thank goodness for Sylvia who was absolutely delightful and helpful.

Great place to stay in Pamplona, in the heart of the old city. Secure parking - height limit of 3m - so ideal for those travelling in small camper vans. Access to the parking is easy, just behind/below the swimming pool. Excellent service, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Good quality buffet breakfast - however there are many places nearby to eat too. Highly recommend this hotel.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Very eclectic decor in our dark suite. For a suite in a boutique hotel it really lacked bathroom products. The TV was a really tiny one, screwed to the wall high up on the wall only watchable from the bed. It was totally unwatchable from the 2x chairs ( not even a sofa) in the the sparsely-furnished sitting area.

Could be a very nice hotel (given location, and quality of building) but let down by unfriendly and rude staff and items not working in our room (bar fridge and safe). Also parking at the hotel is expensive, and cheaper alternatives are a 20 min walk away.

Top location very close to the busy old city centre from Pamplona, very comfortable rooms (some with view of the green) and a very friendly and professional staff at reception = top location to visit Pamplona (a plus: upon reservation since limited number, this hotel provides for a parking).

Great stay. Valet parking (I guess temporarily because the garage is under construction). Very friendly young lady at the reception. Good restaurant (we did not have breakfast), pet friendly,... If there's a remark to give: the 2 young ladies taking care of the restaurant should scan more the tables (look around more) to see if people want attention. More selling would have happened if they'd done so. But they surely were friendly too.

It is certainly a noteworthy and highly recommended experience in Zaragoza. Initially, one might be taken aback by the 19€ entrance fee for the hike. Nevertheless, after traversing the path, it quickly becomes apparent that it is worth every penny. We visited in October and enjoyed delightful weather. I can imagine that it might be quite warm during the summer months. A small suggestion: opt for the longer hiking route instead of the shortcut, provided you are physically capable, as you will not be disappointed.

Actually, during this photoshoot, we were also driven away. The location itself was quite remote and inconvenient to access—it required about one half an hour of driving from the city center—though the scenery there was truly beautiful. What was infuriating was that just when we were about to leave, an elderly staff member angrily warned us that we shouldn't wear "such Japanese-style clothing" and that we should "wear normal clothes." It wouldn't have been a big deal initially, but he kept pressing us, and that made me angry. I explained clearly that this is, in fact, Chinese-style clothing. But he responded with a dismissive expression, saying, "I don't care which country it's from—you just can't dress like this here." He went on to say a lot of very disrespectful things. We had already explained that other staff outside had allowed us to enter, yet he still confronted us angrily behind our backs. I just want to say: you can be upset if our unconventional clothing disturbed your work, but you shouldn’t discriminate against a character like this. Even if the character I’m cosplaying isn’t a good person, we’re all here out of love for the craft, investing our own time, money, and effort—some of us even traveled four hours from other cities just to be there. In that moment, I nearly lost my temper and felt like cursing at him, just like Xue Yang would have. My friend, cosplaying as Jin Guangyao, probably noticed the look on my face and stepped in to calmly talk to the other party. Anyway, with all that happened, and considering the remote location despite its beauty, I said I won’t be going back again. ---

Absolutely wonderful place to visit. The only things I was missing were the better indications of the pathways. We spend more than 3 hours there photographing and enjoying the beautiful nature. The light was amazing in the morning. It is not suitable for people with wheelchair. Also, there are quite tough parts on the path going up and down the stairs.

I went there for the Spa and the termal waters after I ws on a trip through the Scandinavian and Baltic countries. We'll, it is very sad but there is no a positive way to compare them. This place was more expensive, the water was either very cold or lukewarm and the lack of maintenance was unbelievable, I mean the little mosaics titles were loose in the pools floor. Some of the water taps were not even working, but of course everything was about to be fixed the next day. Typical Spaniard answer. And, even tho the entrance is pricey for what it is the charge you extra for a pool cap.

WOW!! Allow a whole day for this place. Good walking conditions with correct footwear. Lots of waterfalls means lots of damp and slippy areas..but worth it. And don't forget to stop and see the raptors..amazing!! Trying to edit my post 🤞Also, you can follow the path down to the waterfall and go behind it! Follow the steps down to the cave, it's well lit and has handrails. Not for small toddlers or prams and pushchairs...and probly not good for dogs unless they trained in cave rescue!😂but the view from behind the waterfall is sooo beautiful and breathtaking and wet!! Wear your hood up, no umbrellas, you will need both hands to take photos!

One of the most beautiful places on earth. The paths and the falls are amazing. So much peace and beauty make this a great place to retreat to for the day.

This park is worth every penny. About 2.5 hours of absolute nature magic. Recommended early morning, opens at 09:00 and avoid weekends. Bring a picnic as there are nice places to do it, take your time and enjoy nature. Buy your tickets online and bring a professional camera because you will get some amazing shots.

100/10! THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GARDEN I’VE SEEN! (50+ countries visited). Many waterfalls, super quiet and clean. You just hear the birds and waterfalls. I was lucky to come around 5pm on Sunday and it was completely empty.

Beautiful walk through the valley with over 25 waterfalls. You can see the waterfalls from different viewpoints, also from a cave. Great experience.

Stunning waterfalls and scenery. The whole walk takes about 2 hours (it wasn't too crowded on a Morning August). The open car park is free and is situated beside the entrance. Make sure you have your phone fully charged because you'll be taking photos and videos everywhere you turn!

Absolutely stunning! I have seen a lot in my life but this was amazing! The hike is so beautiful and then you think it is already the highlight, the next moment gets even better. A true oasis. Wow.

Absolutely crazy to find something like this in the middle of Aragón. Another perfect example of how fascinating and diverse Spain is, with hidden treasures of nature and history. Must visit.

A must go! Wonderful views, nature and fresh air. If you are going from Zaragoza, there’s a bus service form Delícias Station that departs at 9:00 and returns at 17:00 (I believe it’s not daily, but for sure runs on weekends) and leaves you right at the entrance of the park. Costs 12€/person, and park is 16€/person (15.2€ if you book online).

A magical place with beautiful waterfall. Be prepared to be amazed with natural wonders. Take the time to explore and hike along the paths that connect all the nice Miradors and waterfalls. I suggest to visit the monastery first, then have a picnic in the area near the entrance of the monastery and then enjoy vigorous walking experience through the park

We were recommended to visit this castle by a member of staff at the parador at Calahorra. Whilst it was a detour from our planned route, it was most certainly worth it. A stunning building and an entrance fee which was unbelievably low, for people of a "more mature age". Indeed had this been an historic building in the UK, possibly run by the National Trust, the entrance would have been a minimum of 10 times the fee in Olite. It is wonderful to see how the Spanish authorities are, when it comes to restoration and maintenance of their historic sites. This castle is amazing and should definitely be on everybody's list if visiting this part of Spain.

A stunning medieval castle with impressive towers and courtyards. The architecture is unique, and the views from the top are breathtaking. A must-visit if you’re in Navarra!

Absolutely recommended. The castle is very well maintained and actually quite big. Great value for what you get. Audio tour is gives you much background information.

Stopped by at this palace on our way to Zaragoza. Well worth the detour. Entrance fee is derisory. Lovely views from all the corners of the tower. We didn’t see much of the town as it was showering but looks like a pretty little town.

Although there's nothing to see on the inside, the exterior is worth the entrance fee. The architecture is good, towers to climb and ramparts to walk giving good views.

Beautiful palace. Route through the palace and information well laid out. Lots of steps to climb to visit the numerous towers and parts of the palace. Would recommend a visit.

Absolutely worth the visit, very nice little castle with many towers to climb

This place is great. But how do you get there? I found get to Arguedas and follow the signs easiest. It’s not complicated. The roads are more track than tarmac but perfectly fine for cars. You could also enter via El Paso, but it’s not so well signposted. From Arguedas it’s a straight track until you reach the army base, where you turn left. Don’t mistake the first ‘stack’ as the iconic photo. Travel 2 km up the track and there’s a clear stopping place where you can get out and have a 360 degree view once you’ve climbed the easy path. Then continue on for another 2 km and you’ll reach the classic photo stack which has plenty of parking space. To get out you can keep going, left out of the car park or simply do it all again in reverse back to Arguedes.

The park is beautiful. It almost feels like you are in the American wild west. Stunning landscapes and a couple of vista points to observe and take photos from.

Really nice environment and change of scenery. The area is wide, but there are roughy 3 or 4 nice mountains/cliffs that have a 'canyon/desert' look and feel. Good to reach by car. Nice for holiday pictures and experience. There are no shops in the area, so take water (and snacks if you like) with you.

It is an otherworldly landscape that feels like a forgotten planet, making it a truly magnificent place to visit. Driving through its wild, empty roads is a unique and liberating experience that perfectly captures the spirit of adventure. It's a must-see who is around that place.

Wonderful desert with impressive scenery. Parking lot next to it. Was easy to access. I have a feeling that the most beautiful during the sunset

Incredible lunar landscape exploration ... take a car, turn on the Kiss Radio, and sing with your best friend. There tou go : a magic lifetime moment ! A must seen european place ☀️

Stunning natural park with landscape that has you think you are in a western. The information centre is very helpful and the 30 odd kilometre loop gives you stunning views all the way

This used to be a fortified Islamic medieval palace built between 1065 and 1081 that eventually housed the regional parliament of Aragon. I was amazed by the intricate mixtilinear arches and springers, with arabesques over a large area. Definitely worth the money (not expensive) and time spent there. Notable sights include the Golden Hall, Mosque, Santa Isabel Courtyard, Palace of Peter IV and Palace of the Catholic Monarchs. When I was there, Goya’s works were also temporarily exhibited here, with the Goya Museum being renovated. So it was a 2-in-1 visit.

The place looked beautiful, and definitely is very cool from the outside. However, we were unable to go in because the tickets are not working from the online system. There was a long line, and we went to buy our tickets online, but definitely with the mobile device it was not working. It seems to be fairly typical that many of the websites in Spain don't work. 😞😵‍💫

1. Before my visit, it was not clear to me whether tickets had to be purchased in advance or not, so as not to waste time in queues. I visited Aljaferia Palace on a Friday afternoon in September. There was no queue for tickets. The ticket office is a small booth outside the walls of the Aljaferia, on the side of Calle de los Disputados street. 2. As with many Spanish attractions in Zaragoza, the explanations are perfect in Spanish :-) , but there is no information in English. I had installed the Aljaferia Palace app. This app contains numbers, but unfortunately these numbers do not correspond to the numbers found in the various rooms. Well, how difficult is it to do something properly... 3. Coming back to the tickets. Apparently, you can take guided tours in English during the summer. September is no longer summer, so guided tours were only available in Spanish. Try booking a ticket in advance on the website, and I wish you luck understanding it... I see online tickets for locals, for students, for all kinds of groups of people, but not for a foreign (English-speaking) tourist who wants a regular visit without extras. Has anyone ever taken a critical look at this booking web page? 4. Although the style is also Moorish, it is not comparable to, for example, the Alhambra in Granada, which is much more beautifully integrated into the landscape and has much more beautiful gardens, water features, and buildings.

It is a magnificent building to visit especially on a Rainey day. Though our visit coincided with a film crew on site. Restricting locations and sound levels. As we had just arrived we could not come back another day. We were still charged full price to enter.

An absolutely amazing piece of history not too far from the centre of Zaragoza. I booked the English tour for 9 euros and it was well worth the money. I would recommend the tours because you will get a lot more of the history of the palace and you will enjoy the visit more.

One of the most interesting archaeological heritage buildings that shows our shared cultural and artistic links of Aragon and Spain with the Muslim world while showing the evolution and its later role in Christian time as a royal fortress since Ferdinand and Isabella. If it was located in France or Italy it would have been visited 10 times more. A hidden gem worth visiting and cherishing and discovering all its treasures.

Very large Palace (Kastel)from the tenth century in Zaragoza. Worthy of a visit. Old age people pay only €2 pp. Beautiful rooms and exhibits. Don't miss it.

A most exquisite building dedicated to Saint Mary who appeared on a pillar which is now enclosed but you can kneel before it and touch part of it. The soaring ceiling and beautiful sculptures are breathtaking. Each of the chapels has its own glorious artworks. The chapel at the back of the church is extraordinary with a separate open roof structure. A true gem.

The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza is a breathtaking masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a deeply spiritual landmark. With its grand domes, stunning frescoes by Goya, and peaceful riverside setting, it’s a must-visit for both art and history lovers. Don’t miss the panoramic views from the tower and the nearby Puente de Piedra for perfect photos.

Simply mammoth size of a Cathedral....hard to photograph it was so large but got some shots on a stormy night from the bridge. Beautiful tiling on roof. Beautifully carved altar and wonderfully cool inside. Sadly a couple of the towers were being renovated but understandable.

Such a beautiful Basilica. Seeing the Pilar where our Lady billocated was so special. We timed it well for Holy Mass. you do need an hour to explore afterwards. Plenty of priests were there to hear confessions. Architecture was spectacular, the paintings, sculptures- a pure joy to be there. Plenty of Capella for praying along. Rosary after 12 mass.

The church was absolutely stunning, with its magnificent architecture leaving me speechless. The intricate stonework and towering spires created an awe-inspiring silhouette against the sky. As I walked through the grand entrance, I was captivated by the rich history that enveloped the space; it felt as though time itself had been preserved within these walls. The ornate stained glass windows cast vibrant colors across the interior, illuminating the beautifully carved wooden pews. I found myself particularly mesmerized by the elaborate details on the facade, where every chiselled figure and decorative element seemed to tell a story of its own. It was an experience that left a lasting impression on my heart.

A very beautiful basilica, and definitely worth visiting if you're in the area or happen to be passing through. However, I wouldn't make a special trip to Zaragoza just for this and a few other sites.

It was, without a doubt, an exceptionally impressive church. Unlike many others that I have visited in various cities, this one stood out with its distinctive architectural features and unique atmosphere, setting it apart from the more familiar structures I had previously encountered.

We decided to take a slight detour to see this Monastery and boy it didn't disappoint! Increadible views as we drove up, had to stop a couple of times to take it in. We had a lovely warm and clear day so got some nice pictures with the drone as well. We had a nice gentle walk round, lots of things to look at and read. Couldn't help but feel that some of the site has lost its authenticity due to the rather significant restoration and preservative measures that have been done since its renovation. Still highly recommend though.

So glad we went the drive up is incredible the views are just breathtaking. The new monastery looks very it of place but that's only because you pass the outside of the old first. Both are incredible buildings with such history attached to them. We purchased the book and took the audio guide round which made the experience better.

Buy a ticket at the more modern monestary before driving further down to the older site as they don't sell them there. It is well worth a visit! Gorgeous views if you continue your journey down the mountain

This exquisite monastic building, where the grail was once supposed to be kept, (just copy on display now(see photo)) is cut into the rock on the side of a mountain. You can hike the twenty kilometres up from Jaca ( but bring lots of water in the summer as it's hot and humid) and its well worth the effort. Exterior has immaculate brickwork and windows while the inner church has an atmospheric apse and nave.

One could not have thought that in the middle of the most beautiful scenery one could find this wonderful and unusual museum. A burnt monastery surrounded by history, rescued in the most amazing way. A visit well worth the trip.

Cashing in on a natural wonder! A 30 minute drive from Jaca - a wasted journey. You have to pay to even see the outside! They don't let you park and walk up to see the wonder of the boulder over the monastery. They make you drive all the way up to the new monastery and pay for entry and a shuttle bus to go back down to see it. And at €12 it's not worth it for us! Very disappointing! Tried to take photos so you can see it but sadly they didn't come out well.

Beautiful and really special. You can explore and discover how the monks used to live by walking over the remains of the monastery. White sculptures visually describe monastic life.

Ok for a bit then once uve seen first 15 mins thats it really

I liked this place because every day I am in salou I walk past it and it is great

They haven't been very helpful. They just deliver maps.

Beautiful building great helpful staff loads of info

Very helpful. And friendly.

While friendly they don't have much to offer other then tries to Barcelona.

Yes very helpful and softly spoken

Place to be absolutely avoided Very dirty in common areas, toilets areas as well as attractions, with serious risks of getting skin irritation as happened to me ... I unfortunately visited this park this July and it was a carnage. Uncontrolled number of people made the situatuin very caothic. Queues of a minimum of over one hour for each attraction with several blockages and slowdowns due also to the poor preparation of the young and inexperienced staff. Dirty everywhere and unpleasent discussions with other visitors standing to grab your chair or sunbed as soon you get up or, simply because insufficient in numbers compared with the uncontrolled number of people admitted. All of this at the "cheapest " price of 47 Euro ,if you cannot book online in advance for chhosing a fix date, plus 15 Euros for parking and 8 Euros for a small locker.....More than adventure an unpleasent disadventure .....

If you are staying few days around, then you must visit it along with the 2 other parks (portaventura world and ferrari land). However, if you are visiting just for one day, I would suggest just going to Portaventura world instead. We stayed at one of the portavenrura hotels nearby for 3 days to be able to discover all 3 parks (portaventura world, portaventura aquatic park and ferrari land). We spent one day in this caribe aquatic park.

I’m visiting this park every year in the last 10 years. The kids love the place . I’ve decided to give the place minimum score because it doesn’t care about the guest . 2025 is almost 2015 , very little in places shadows . The sun is killing in Spain . And the place doesn’t care about his guests health . The food . I understand it should be expensive as they do the maximum to take any penny they can . Fat food, almost nothing healthy . So above fun , take care of your guests . Put many umbrellas so people can hide from the sun, and sell healthy food.

We were absolutely delighted with our visit to the water park! Since we only had one day, we decided to purchase VIP tickets — and it turned out to be the best choice. They were worth every penny: the VIP lines were minimal, while the regular ticket lines stretched far beyond the designated areas. Thanks to this, we were able to enjoy more attractions without wasting time in queues and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. The atmosphere was fantastic, everything was clean, and the staff was polite and well-organized. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially if your time is limited or if you want to spend the day in maximum comfort.

The worst aqua park I ever been, and I've been in all over the World, from Turkey, UAE to Australia... Not many slides and pools, but the worst of all is that it is too much crowded, there is 3 times more people than capacity! For every slide waiting is more than an hour, some even 2... If you want to eat, more than 1 hour waiting and count minimum 100€ for 4 persons with 1 drink. My advice, if you want to go anyway, buy extra pass and than there is 0 mins waiting.. If you enter at 11am, don't count you will get any sunbeds, it's completely full! Locker rooms also waiting time around 30 minutes and it is 8€ for small and 11€ for bigger bags! Better go once again to PortAventura World and Ferrari World.

Came to the park just with my two kids 12 and 10 in on a Thursday in the May school holiday. Being a single parent, I was quite concerned about the logistics of keeping valuables safe while also enjoying the park with the kids. However, the lockers are quite straightforward - once paid, you get a printout with a locker allocation and a six digit pin. I managed to remember this which meant I could put everything in the locker. I would say these are good for one medium sized rucksack and a few other extras. We got to the park from the Barcelona-Salou train, that gets in a 10 and had bought tickets in advance at the train station - would recommend this or alternatively on line as there are queues for on-site ticket purchasing. The park opened at 11, and there was only a short queue once we got through the bag check zone (that is for all three parks). The water park is great and, at this time of year, it was not very busy - we easily got a lounger under the shaded area and the weather was perfect for us. The slides are great and the queues were minimal throughout the day. The green and blue Barracudas are great (green one is better) and so is El Torrente, which is a big dinghy that can hold up to four each time. Many say the lifeguards blow whistles too much but as long as you know what to do it is fine. As my sunglasses are prescription, it was slightly annoying not being able to wear them on the lazy river or Bahama Beach but I coped. Didn't try the food but had a couple of beers and ice creams. Took a large bottle of water in. In all, would say this is a great time to visit this park. I suspect that in the summer this would not get 5 stars as I expect queues would be much larger and weather too hot!

We had fun at this water park, we got there at opening time on a Monday and it was already very busy and we had to queue for lockers (expensive!). If we were to go again we maybe wouldn't bother with a locker and would leave our things on a sunbed instead as most people seemed to be doing. We had to queue for some slides but we didn't think it was too bad. We spent all day there and went on all of the slides we wanted to and some twice. I do think there must be a more efficient system for the rings though, having to queue to get one then queue again for the slide wasn't ideal. The food was okay, they had veggie hotdogs which were good. You get a reusable cup if you buy a drink. There's no photographers so you won't get a souvenir photo.

Fantastic Day Out at the Water Park We had a fab day out—our kids absolutely loved it! We chose to go on a slightly cloudy day, which worked out perfectly for our youngest (age 5), as it made the heat more bearable. As expected during peak season, the queues were long—around 60 minutes for the popular attractions—but that’s to be expected in August. The park itself was very clean and well-maintained, with plenty of facilities including toilets, lockers, and lots of food and drink options. For lunch, we spent €85 for our family of five. That included 3 junior meals (pizza, chips, pudding, and a drink) and 2 adult meals (fish & chips, and chicken & chips). Food was decent, and service was efficient. Overall, a great family day out. The kids had a blast and will definitely sleep well tonight.

Amazing amusement park! Would definitely go back sometime. The best advice is to buy express pass, as the waiting time for each attraction is between 40-60 minutes. We have visited the park on 16th October and it was so so crowded

PortAventura is full of variety and well worth the visit — but a little planning makes the day smoother with a tip. Bring a refillable bottle, as there are fountains around the park to top up. You’ll need at least 5–6 hours to cover the rides, especially with waiting times. The Express Pass really depends on when you go — we visited on a Tuesday at the end of September and rarely waited more than 30 minutes, though some rides did creep up to 50+ minutes at peak times. A good tip is to go for rides during or just after typical lunch hours, when queues are often much shorter.

Love this theme park . One of the best actual themed parks I've been too . The rides are all amazing. Although have to say was a bit disappointed with uncharted...it could have been so much better. The AR mine train was amazing with the serpents flying over your head. Not been here for 10 years and didn't see many changes or new rides since last time. But still great and my 5 time here

Fantastic Port Aventura World This park has incredible rides, we loved it with my son. Our favourite was Furious Baco ! It was the 1st of January this year, so was not too crowded and a FANTASTIC way for us to begin the year. We will back we loved this park!

Great place with many joyful experiences. There are thrills for all desires. Definitely advise to visit if you like rollercoasters and other exciting experiences. Best to go there in off-season when kids are back to school to avoid long queues. If attending during holiday breaks definitely think about express pass to enjoy there rides and not standing in wait.

Parking was 12 euros. Toilets aren't too far away from each other. Food is very expensive, 12 eur for a hotdog. Park is really big, it takes 20 minutes of walking to reach the opposite side of the park, loads of different themes which is very exciting to look at! Ferrari land has HUGE lines, highly recommend getting pass ticket for the main ride since we waited for almost 5 hours... Overall, the park is really nice and there's much to see x)

Beatiful views, nice walking trails, The basilica and Black Madonna are a must when you visit here, you can take the funicular up the mountain from the visitor center. The outside parking is a bit of a walk and costs 7 euros. You can also park under the basilica for 10 euros for the first 3 hours or for 14 euroa for over 3 hours and up to 24 hours. Convenient for those who have trouble walking or finding parking outside.

Beautiful place. Nestled 1500m above Cataluña in the mountains. Makes you wonder, given its location, who could manage to complete such magnificent structures! I was a little late in the day so only ventured half way up to where the Basílica and the shrine is located. You can feel the history/essence in the air as you sit quietly taking in your surroundings. Also, here is where the Virgin Of Montserrat is located. After passing the patron saint of Cataluña, you can choose to veer off and enter a stained glass, oval shaped prayer room. DON'T skip out....well worth taking a seat and just reflecting for a couple of minutes. Family friendly. Lots of outdoor space. The views, well you just have to see for yourself!

Magnifcent monument. Must see. I recomend train from Barça and cable car. You can buy combined ticket. Easy. Tickets for Basilica and other are available on spot without waiting. At 13.00 hrs every working day there is a short concert from Boys choir. Must se and listen. It's beautifull. Like Walking on clouds. After you must touch the Earth in Black Madona right hand. At last I recenzent visita a wiewpoint at St. Mathew's cross. On spot can be chilly. This is the place that I'll deffinetly visit again.

One of the most beautiful places I have visited in Barcelona Spain! Highly recommend everyone to come! We took the train cable car up to the mountain! Not many tourists were there! The views are absolutely breathtaking The cathedral was sooo beautiful and peaceful! ☺️

We went here on a tour and I was so happy we did. I loved it that the vendors as you approach the monastery are descendants of those who sold the same cheeses and products decades if not eons ago. The Black Madonna was an inspiring experience and we really enjoyed the art museum as well. I have never seen it even referenced but it was amazing.

This is a must-do day trip! We booked a small group tour via Viator. Our guide, a local, took us by train to Montserrat station, where we then took a cable car to the summit of the mountain. She gave us a great tour. We saw and were able to touch the black Madonna. We hiked to the St. Michael cross and were blown away by the views!

Had a great experience visiting Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey! The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the place had such a peaceful and spiritual vibe. It’s one of those spots where you really feel connected to nature and history at the same time. Definitely worth the trip if you’re visiting Barcelona! ⛰️🙏
