Families

Whether this is your first serious trip with a little one in tow, you’re dealing with independent-minded teens, or you’re bringing along a large clan, we can help you design an experience that’s right for your family.

Spain and Portugal are fantastic countries to travel with children of any age. Both Spaniards and Portuguese dote on the young ones and we encourage you and your family to adapt to their lifestyle during your vacation…. Your children will love you for it, especially as it means staying up later and enjoying the life in the local restaurants, squares and parks. Even without the activities we arrange, Spain and Portugal are great bases just “to be” for the family, as you let the lifestyle wash over you.

“Raising a family here has made me fall in love all over again with Spain and its people. The almost daily acts of kindness and generosity towards my children from locals in Madrid and wherever we travel in Spain bring so much joy to us”. Nigel Hack, Founder of Madrid & Beyond

This is your vacation though and it’s well worth planning fun and unique activities in advance to make sure you make the most of every day. From the main cities to quaint villages and rural areas, there is a whole range of fun and exciting activities for you and your children to embrace.
