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.

Córdoba: Andalusian Family City Break

The south of Spain is very well known because of flamenco dancing and singing, bull fighting and good food but what makes it really special is the influence from the eight centuries when Muslims ruled the lands, that mixes the old and the new in the cities and that is still very present in many ways, historically and culturally and Córdoba is one of the perfect example of this.

                         

We are going to give you a day tour of this fantastic city, and we will give you some ideas of how to make the most of your time there with your family and of course, how to make it fun for your children.

When you think of Spain many families will decide to just take a beach holiday, even more if they are travelling with young children. We are going to show you why a city holiday is also a very good option to enjoy with your family, especially if you travel to a city like Barcelona.
