Travel in Spain with Kids

So many people think that going to Spain is hard if they have kids, and most of them postpone their dreamed trip because everything they hear about coming to Spain is about food, party, bulls and soccer.

What if I tell you that there is a enormous amount of activities to do here in Spain with our loved little ones?

Yes! Like always you just have to know where to go and be connected to the right people.

Fortunately you have us to tell you about some plans you can have with your kids in your visit to this beautiful country.

Catalonia
If they love adventure and adrenaline, you should visit Port Aventura World. Only one hour and thirty minutes by car, from the Beautiful Barcelona, and almost two hours by train, you can spend a day or a weekend having fun in its wonderful attraction parks: Port Aventura Park, Ferrari Land, and Port Aventura Caribbean Aquatic Park.

Share a good time with your kids, going on the roller coasters with them and having a boost of energy! The park closed late, and you can enjoy beautiful shows before go and rest in one of the park resorts. We are sure, they will sleep as an angels, because they will be exhausted at the end of the day.

If you are looking for something more cultural, in Barcelona, you will have the chance to introduce your kids to the art world.

Barcelona is well known for being the home of the best work of the Architect Antonio Gaudi, and there, kids can have a special art activity day.
