Once again Barcelona’s most impressive water park “Illa Fantasia” in Vilassar de Mar, has been chosen to host the most impressive and attractive music festival of the summer.
This water park is made up of different rides, swimming pools, mini-golf, bars, restaurants and a central pool (dance floor), relaxation areas for a siesta and picnic spots to recharge the batteries. After the festival any ideas of a typical water park will have been changed forever.
