PortAventura’s 30th anniversary: a new era of sustainability and spectacle

Evy attended the 30th anniversary celebration of PortAventura, which took place on June 16th in Salou. During this special event, PortAventura announced ambitious new sustainability plans aimed at reducing their ecological footprint and promoting environmentally friendly initiatives for the future. Additionally, several new shows were presented to offer visitors an even more spectacular experience. One of the highlights is a brand-new drone show, featuring as many as 300 drones performing an impressive choreography in the sky. This innovative show will replace the traditional fireworks display at the end of each day, providing not only a breathtaking visual spectacle but also contributing to a more sustainable and quieter way to conclude the day.
