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.

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:
