It is possible to go to Spain on vacation with children, including small ones. The main thing, if you are going to the beach, is to clarify in advance the depth of the sea or ocean, the presence of currents. Spain has many wonderful beaches with sand and clear water, which is quite shallow.
Wherever you see the prefix "Costa", you will find well-equipped and free beaches with good work of lifeguards. The best vacation with kids in Spain, according to many visitors, is on the Costa Dorada. These are the resorts of La Pineda, Salou, Cap Salou and others. Here the entrance to the sea is quite shallow, the depth begins 30-50 meters from the shore.
Peaches in Spain are urban, the hotel can fence off the territory, but everyone has access to the sea, and there are almost no deserted beaches. Even if the hotel is sparsely populated (which is unlikely), places on the beach will be occupied by locals who came by car. Use sunscreen with a protection factor of not less than 30, hats, do not be in siesta (time approximate from 12:30 to 16:00) on the street. Each hotel has its own swimming pools.
In case children get lost, everyone should have a note in their pocket with the child's name, your phone number, the hotel you're staying at and a reward waiting for whoever returns the child to you. Lost children are not uncommon, and in Barcelona, for example, any self-respecting child will get lost in the crowds admiring the evening fountain show.
Vacation with children in Spain involves a lot of entertainment. Barcelona has many theme parks for children and adults. Numerous "living statues" on the main pedestrian street of the city will appeal to both children and parents, Park Güell and Mount Montjuïc will allow you to enjoy the natural beauty of these places.
Prices for vacations with children in Spain are not too different from the rest of the two. Many hotels give numerous discounts for family vacations. The main thing is to keep an eye out for opportunities. Look in the sections of the site dedicated to specific resorts, and clarify where there are the best hotels for family vacations with children in Spain.
