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!

Montserrat: Trekking or Religious Culture Near Barcelona

If you are coming over to Barcelona for your holidays and you have time to spare, or simply you want to get away from the city for a day, here is my recommendation, visit the Mountain of Montserrat!

I have a very special connection with this place. Not only because it represents where my name comes from, but also because for me it is one of the number one places to visit because of the combination of its historical importance (the monastery at the top is just spectacular), the amazing views, and the fact that children have lots of fun and as a family you get to do some exercise if you like a bit of trekking.

You can easily get to Montserrat by train from Barcelona heading in the Manresa direction, and then there is a special mountain train that takes you up to the top!

Here are my 3 recommendations when visiting Montserrat to get the most of your visit:
