Vaga Splash Water Park

The Vaga Splash Water Park offers slippery, splashy, cool water-y moments of joy and fun in Praia Da Vagueira, near Aveiro in central Portugal. The water park consists of three exciting slides, as well as three different pools for adults and children. Also in the recreation complex, 20 bungalows are at the ready for short or long-term visits. The park also has capacity for campers, necessary services to support such vehicles. In the surrounding area there are several football pitches, pools, playground equipment, mini golf, barbeques, lawns and other spaces dedicated to amusement, relaxation and entertainment.

Indeed, it’s possible to visit each of the water parks across the Algarve in a single one-week holiday (and potentially get up north to try a couple more).  The train that runs east-to-west across the Algarve is in need of an update, and the distances are a bit too far to call an Uber.  Driving a car along the A22 highway is the best option for seeing the sites, visiting the beaches and diving-in to the waterparks.  Discover Cars offers a range of vehicles to suit your family’s space requirements and budget.  They work with all reputable global brands, guaranteeing satisfaction….and a fun holiday!  See you on the waterslide!
