The creator documents a one week trip to Northeastern Spain, split between Salou and PortAventura. The journey begins with a flight from London Gatwick to Reus, followed by a stay at the H10 Vintage Hotel in Salou. The creator highlights the hotel's amenities, including a rooftop pool, a vast bar area, and a buffet restaurant that exceeded expectations. Activities in Salou include exploring the local beaches, taking a ferry excursion to Cambrils, and dining at a local Italian restaurant.
