What are the best family destinations?

Finding a point of union between an octogenarian person (the grandparents of the house) and a 7-year-old child (with an average of 20 minutes of concentration time) is, to say the least, a challenge. Therefore, with these destinations we play it safe: here you will find some for people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and personal tastes. Go for it.

1. Menorca, Balearic Islands

If you are from the peninsula, you are in luck, because for less than 100 Euros per person (at times of offer) you can travel from the capital to this beautiful region of the Balearic Islands in just over one hour.

Menorca has it all: beautiful low houses, exotic landscapes, beaches with crystal clear water and establishments so that the oldest of the house can take a little respite from family life. On the other hand, few things are as beautiful as diving into the waters of a cove and watching the sea open before your eyes. Where nature and tranquility merge, Menorca is there.

2. Benidorm, Valencian Community

In the shape of a fishing village in the sixties, Benidorm has undergone one of the most impressive transformations that can be conceived in a population nucleus, since today it is one of the most popular destinations in all of Europe.

Benidorm's beaches are famous for their large size and pleasant climate, but there are also many more things to do. see here: the old town, the markets, the Gran Bali hotel and many nightlife venues for adults. The little ones are not far behind, as here are the famous Aqualandia and Terra Mítica parks. As you will see, in Benidorm there is something for everyone.

3. Motorhome trips

If your children don't get dizzy regularly, this can be a real family adventureSo, what is more exciting than getting lost in the nature of the peninsula with a mobile home? Eating picnics, changing destinations each day, and waking up to a different landscape at sunrise. Children love change and, of course, there is little more changeable than a home on wheels.

4. Cíes Islands, Galicia

The Cíes Islands are an archipelago located in the province of Pontevedra to the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, at the mouth of the Vigo estuary. If you like tropical landscapes but the Bahamas are beyond your budget, this is the best possible destination.

The Cíes Islands are hiking, beaches, nature and lighthouses with traditional architecture. If exercise and walking are your thing, these places will delight the most energetic of the family. In addition, this region has a campsite with a capacity of 800 people, excellent for the little ones in the house to socialize and have fun.

5. Picos de Europa, Asturias

Speaking of sport, if you want to introduce children to the world of exercise and hiking, few places are as suitable as the peaks of Europe for them. It is a rugged set of 67,000 hectares, considered as a National Park (the third most visited in all of Spain) where you can hike between peaks, lakes, rivers and extensive grasslands. Without a doubt, the smallest of the house will see nature in a different way when they get lost in these landscapes.

6. Cabárceno Nature Park, Cantabria

If what you want is to teach the little ones in the house how animals live without spending an astronomical figure on a safari in Africa, Cabárceno is the best solution. The funny thing about this place is that it does not work like any ordinary zoo: the animals are in semi-freedom, and visitors can observe them from vehicles at a distance that does not stress them.

In addition to the very important educational work that this entails for children, Cabárceno also carries out scientific research and conservation programs for threatened species. Without a doubt, every penny spent on the ticket goes to a good cause.

7. Disneyland Paris, Paris (France)

We left the peninsula but we do not go very far because, if we talk about family tourism, Disneyland had to appear somewhere. A trip to this recreational environment will be irreplaceable for any young child.: attractions, lights, food and actors dressed as your favorite heroes will accompany you on an adventure like no other. Of course, go preparing your wallet: a simple stay in the park for 3 days will cost you about 200 euros, not counting food, travel and accommodation.

8. Pyramids of egypt, egypt

Not everything was going to be aimed at the little ones in the house, as the elderly deserve a special place on this list and in our hearts. The pyramids of Egypt are usually a very common destination for older people, as they offer contrast, knowledge and wisdom on a historical level. Without a doubt, these majestic constructions are one of the things to see before dying.

9. Cruise ships

We are still in the elderly, because cruises are one of the most comfortable and least physically demanding options that can be done. For this reason, this means of transport and travel is ideal for the oldest in the house, although the little ones can also enjoy it. Crystal clear waters, attention, relaxed parties, luxury and much more await adults in this very characteristic means of transport.

Among the cruises preferred by the oldest people in the family, those that cross the Mediterranean stand out. For example, those that cross the Italian coast, the Adriatic or the Greek islands are especially striking, with routes of very varied offers.

10. Rome Italy

Rome, with almost 3 million inhabitants, is considered the capital of culture in Europe, as boasts over 3,000 years of world-influenced art, architecture and culture. Grandparents will remember and learn, while children will begin to appreciate the historical legacy they have left us our ancestors and the importance of art in a society where the immediate stimulus tends to take precedence over everything.

11. The spas of Budapest

Budapest has been named the city of spas, as it has more than 100 natural and built springs available to the public. Few places encompass all age groups so effectively: while the youngest in the house play in swimming pools and Jacuzzis, adults and the elderly can immerse themselves in herbal waters, saline and with temperature changes that oxygenate and tighten the skin.

12. Berlin Germany

If there is a gift that can be given to the smallest of the house from an early age, it is the desire to to know about their past, so as not to make the same mistakes in which humanity has already fallen into the future. Berlin is an exemplary city for this, because few regions have so much historical memory and have experienced so much the suffering of the Second World War.

Berlin is history and pain, but it is also life, joy, art, reconstruction and vitality. From a personal point of view this is the true capital of culture, as you will find people doing performances in the middle of the street, with no other pretense than the art itself.
