PortAventura Expands Holiday Celebrations

A new 3-D film, ice-skating rink and a snow slide are just a few of PortAventura’s new holiday season attractions.

From Nov. 23 to Jan. 6, 2013, “PortAventura will transform into a fantasy-filled winter wonderland for the most popular family holiday season.”

The largest addition to the holiday lineup is the massive Christmas Market in the park’s Mediterranean area.

The park reports: “Inspired by the traditional markets in the great capitals of central Europe, its 31 wooden stalls will offer visitors a cornucopia of Christmas treats including leather goods, wickerwork, soaps and perfumes as well as handmade delicacies such as breads, cheeses and crackers. Market visitors will also be able to watch the artistry and incredible technique of an ice sculptor as he creates figures from his imagination.”

Another new attraction this season allows guests of all ages to “snowtube” along the park’s version of the Great Wall of China. Guests can also glide across the new ice rink in the Mexico area of the park.

PortAventura will also launch a new movie in 4-D: Christmas Adventure, a story where fairies, Christmas characters and also the viewers will be in charge of the making of a sweet dessert for a child.

The park promises a variety of other family entertainment options: “Musicals featuring acrobatic displays and spectacular outdoor ice-skating will feature alongside performances of live music, filling every corner of the park with popular yuletide tunes.”

Younger visitors will have the chance to meet their favorite Sesame Street characters in SésamoAventura. Cast regulars Elmo, Bert and Ernie are joined this year by Count Von Count to help them sing and dance the craziest Christmas carols.
