Maquetas de Catalunya en Miniatura en Torrelles de Llobregat

Declared of National Tourist Interest, Catalunya en Miniatura was created to show the whole family the most representative monuments and buildings of the Catalan lands by means of scale models in the open air in Torrelles de Llobregat, a 30-minute drive from the centre of Barcelona. 

It is an ideal setting with attractions for children to spend a cultural and enjoyable day. The park does not aim to be a simple mirror of monumental Catalonia, but rather a unique, real, and unrepeatable experience for all visitors. 

Thus, it has more than 150 models made on a scale of 1:25 in its own workshop, which perfectly reproduce the most important monuments of regional architecture, from the most outstanding Romanesque and Gothic works of Catalonia, to the complete work of the outstanding modernist architect Antoni Gaudí. 

The Vall de Boí complex, the cathedrals of the Catalan provinces, Park Güell, the Sagrada Família, La Pedrera and Casa Batlló, among others, coexist perfectly with civil works such as a fire station, a Mossos d’Esquadra police station and several train stations.

5. Holidayworld Maspalomas

The south of the island of Gran Canaria has the largest entertainment centre in the Canary Islands: Holidayworld Maspalomas. Proof of this is its more than 11,000 m² of pure fun for everyone.

You can find practically everything here: from a complete amusement park (Wooland Fun Park), to the only professional bowling alley in the Canary Islands (Swing Bowling), a first-class karaoke (Bamm Karaoke) and an escape room with four rooms (Anthology Escape Room). 

But there are other services, such as a gym (Ozone Gym), a sports bar (The Harrow Sports Bar), a casino (Palm Kasino) and a spectacular gastronomic market with a multitude of culinary references (Nomad Gastro Market).
