Menorca: 5 places to visit with your family

There is a little island in Spain which is ideal for families, it has beautiful beaches with white sand and turquoise water, nice food and a beautiful town centre, that place is Menorca. 

Menorca is the second biggest island in the Balearic archipelago and has nothing to envy to its bigger sister, the island of Mallorca. I like Menorca because you can drive from one side of the island to the other side in only 30 minutes so it’s easy to get to all different places. I recommend that you hire a car and explore the island. 

Even though the island is not too big there are loads of things to do and see, here I will tell you about my 5 favourite things when we visited Menorca: 

Cuenca: Family City Break

You’ve read in other posts that we recommend some places to visit as a break from your holidays (read Cordoba city break here). This is the case of Cuenca, a beautiful city where you can spend like one/two days as an extension of your visit to Madrid or Valencia, as it is only 2-2’30 hours far from these two main cities by car or train.

Cuenca belongs to the region of Castilla-La-Mancha in the middle of Spain and it’s surrounded by mountains and rivers, really a nature place. We go to a village in Cuenca every Summer as it is the province of my father’s birth place, so as you can imagine we totally recommend the city.

What to see in Cuenca:

Aigüestortes: A Natural Wonder to Visit with your Family

If you have been following our posts you have probably already heard about Aigüestortes here. This is one of our natural favourite places. It is located in the central part of the Pyrenees, in the province of Lleida. The park is divided in two main parts: the oriental side with a more continental climate with the lake of Sant Maurici and the occidental side with an Atlantic climate. The parc has a big biological importance as is home to many species and it has mountains as big as 3000 metres high.

                            

Bear in mind that Aigüestortes is very well known to hikers. Many professionals come here to do some extreme trekking and climbing but obviously this is not the case with us as we usually travel with kids so I’m going to show you where to go with children.

Tenerife: 5 Places You Must Visit with Children

If there’s a place where you can find good weather the whole year is Tenerife. We prefer to go there in the cold seasons so we can enjoy a bit of sun and beach for some time. Last year, we went to Tenerife with our little ones for a week, this is time enough to enjoy and see the entire island.

Tenerife belongs to the Canary Islands which are an archipelago formed by seven main islands. Its climate and beautiful attractions make Tenerife one of the best tourist destinations for families. Here you’ll find our top 5 places to visit in Tenerife with children:

5 Favourite Games When Travelling with Children

Bilbao: 5 Places You Must Visit with Children

The Basque Country is a beautiful place to visit in Spain, even though is not your typical beach destination it has a lot to offer and it also has a spectacular coastline but one of the best things to enjoy in Bilbao is its gastro culture. Go out for dinner and enjoy a good glass of “Txacolí” wine in one of the many “pintxo” bars and just try different ones! It’s good fun, they lay them on the bar and you can choose which ones you want to eat. Pintxos cost around 2.50€ each depending of the ingredients and how elaborated they are. You can have from the typical Spanish omelette to a very original one with tasty ingredients. Kids love it too as they are the right size for them and can be able to try different things. My boy loved the croquets ones!!

                    

There are loads of things to do and see in and around the city of Bilbao and here I’m going to tell you about my favourite ones!

5 Musts Have Items When Travelling with Children

It’s always much more difficult to organize a trip when you are travelling with children, especially if you are going abroad. I always end up taking much more stuff than I actually need or use at the end, but I tend to think that I need to take it just in case. Do you have the same problem?
