Planning a holiday in Spain with children is actually fairly easy. The country is really child oriented and your little ones will be welcome in a lot of touristic sites and restaurants.

Whether you are looking for a city break, a beach holiday or a rural retreat, you will feel at home and ready to enjoy this special holiday with your family.

Child friendly holiday by the sea:

Most of the beaches in Spain are baby friendly and child friendly, with great facilities such as baby changing rooms in the toilets, and lifeguards. They are clean and safe and the water is warmer. Spanish beaches are the ideal playground for building castles, burying dad in the sand or for a game of football. And when the sun gets too hot, there is always the option to go on a mini cruise to discover the Spanish coastline.

Baby friendly break in the Natural Parks and Nature Reserves:

Spain is a country blessed with a beautiful, rich countryside and it is the ideal place for children to learn more about nature and the wild life. For example, Doñana, Garajonay and Ordesa, and Monte Perdido are Natural Parks and Nature Reserves where a lot of activities are organised around children. They will learn about the flora and fauna, the ecosystem and the rural Spanish traditions. You will be able to go cycling or walking using the greenways network. They are disused rail tracks that are well organised for family friendly activities. No cars or even motorbikes are allowed so they are very safe for children.
