My son was there on Wednesday and some rides were closed at one point because of rain. He said it poured for about half an hour but otherwise was fine.

Constant rain is not a Spanish thing in fact: cloudbursts are much more what happens. A rainy day is very unusual (reminds me of England when it happens!)

We were there Sept 18th till 26th. It only rained twice, big downpours then the sun came out for the rest of the day.

The rides were all open when it rained, we just put our yellow cloaks that we'd bought for the water rides on - most peolpe did the same.

I think the previous poster had it right - Spain doesn't have rain ike we have rain, and it's still warm even when it rains.

We're going again in May, it was a great holiday, enjoy yourself.

P.S. - Try not to take too much notice of the weather reports, I depressed myself unecessarily before going with these.

Hi

Went to Port Aventura on Monday (8th October) all rides accept the new one were open then. This was closed due to maintenance.

If you are going mainly for this ride then check with the park.

A couple of tips that you may be aware of, Port Aventura only accepted plastic with a passport and drivers licence.

We paid 39 euros each to get in and the exchange rate was 1.44 to the £ when I paid for things on the card, although I haven't done the maths I know it is said to be cheaper to buy the tickets before you go.

Weather, it rained Tuesday evening (2nd) for a short time, Wednesday afternoon, thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and early evening - really bad as they had to cancel the WRC parade, fireworks and Colin McRae memorial (it was held at Port Aventura hotel), and for a very short time Friday when we were walking back from the service park which was in one of the car parks at Port Aventura.

This sounds like a lot but it only caused a problem Thursday, all the other days we were sitting out, under cover, in the rain and was able to sun bathe before and after with no problems.

We were there 12 - 19 October and weather was great!

Only rained once and that was overnight.

During the day it was very much shorts & T-shirt weather and we even spent a couple of days by the Hotel pool although the water was freezing!
