The big new feature: El Carnicero de Penitence

Head to the Far West to experience a new horror story arriving this season with El Carnicero de Penitence: Haunted House.

Set in the 19th century, the town Sheriff needs your help to investigate the strange disappearances surrounding the local butcher. The immersive journey takes you through different spaces inspired by a slaughterhouse and butcher’s shop of the era, with the suspense building until you uncover the secret the butcher has been hiding for years.

With a distinctly gore-inspired tone, this new experience introduces a different type of horror to the existing offering and expands the Halloween experience at PortAventura World. Dare you ask for a turn at the Penitence Butcher’s Shop?
