As I'm sure some of you will be aware, I was in Barcelona for a long weekend to celebrate my 21st birthday, well one of the most important things, after booking your flights is finding a place to stay. And as one of the guys we were going with is at Uni, we needed to find something reasonable but cheap for the 4 nights we would be staying there. Well that's where the Hostal Lami comes in. Not exactly a Hostel more of a cheap hotel a bit like our Travel Lodge.

When we booked we probably left it a little late and could only get a studio apartment for the 4 of us so we were a bit concerned about the size. When we ...
Khan which is a really great rollarcoaster with lots of loops and inversions, Furious Baco which is a high speed ride that goes from 0-135km in 3 seconds and Stampida a great fast wooden rollarcoaster where two carriages race eachother around two similar tracks.
There are also a range of shows in the park that are great to watch and that provide you with even more entertainment as you are walking around from land to land.
There are lots of nice restaurants within the park that serve spanish, mexian and other style food, these restaurants can be very expensive compared to the other fast food places to eat, as in any park, the quality of the fast food can be hit and miss and I found that the selection of food was quite poor. I may have been easily put off but I was more tempted by the spanish restaurants in Salou town than the over ...
