5 Wonders of Spain to Visit with your Family

If you have been following our posts, you have probably seen different nice places that we have shown you for you and your family to visit and have a good time. This time, I’m going to show you, in my opinion, the 5 wonders of Spain.  Places that I feel everybody has to try and visit once, all very different between them but at the same time all as special as each other. You will decide depending on your preferences which ones you want to visit or not, but I recommend you plan some of your future holidays around these destinations so you can see a few of them, it’s worth it! 

So my 5 top places in Spain are as follows: 

1- La Alhambra, Granada: La Alhambra is a whole city within the main city of Granada. It’s formed by a group of palaces, monuments and beautiful gardens. Even though it has roman origins, like many buildings and constructions in Spain, in the XI century it became a Muslim fortress. Therefore is full of Arabic decorations and Arabic style gardens made to perfection where you will enjoy walking around with your family. Make sure to book in advance to avoid long queues here:

2- La playa de las Catedrales, Galicia (Beach of the Cathedrals): This beach is located in Lugo, in the north-west of Spain. The main characteristic is that its cliffs have been shaped during centuries by the wind and the sea, totally natural, and has created incredible and original stone structures more than 32 metres high. It’s considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Don’t miss out the opportunity to visit. 

Remember to book in advance here.

3- Parc natural D’aigüestortes, Lleida: the Natural Park of Aigüestortes is very big, so there are two main entrances to it. You can access by Boï Taull or you can access from Espot, for me the best with young children, as it is easier to visit the main attraction: the amazing lake “Estany de Sant Maurici”. You can take one of the 4x4 special transports taxis up to the lake and walk from there, or what we did was to drive to one of the main car parks and walk around the lake as we were not going to do extreme hiking as we were travelling with a 3-month-old baby and got the 4x4 back. The walk up is nice and easy. 

4- Monasterio de Piedra, Zaragoza (Stone Monastery): About one hour and a half from Zaragoza, you will find this fantastic place. Surrounding the actual monastery which is a piece of art just on his own, you will find gardens and waterfalls formed by the river. It’s also home to many animal species some of them endangered who found here a safe place. You will need two or three hours to walk around the grounds.

5- Cabo de Gata, Almería: Cabo de Gata is the biggest seaside natural park of the Mediterranean Sea. It’s a protected natural area because of its importance. The area has a volcanic origin and is home to a wide range of wild birds. You will find some of the most untouched and amazing beaches in the Mediterranean where you and the family can enjoy kayaking, snorkelling and nice long walks by the seaside. 

Well there you have it, my top 5 places!! They can’t all be visited at the same time but definitely should be on your holiday bucket list. Discover more details in future posts.
