Spain offers plenty of fun for the whole family. The myriad beaches, beautiful cities and towns, and opportunities for outdoor excursions mean there are enough family group activities to suit every taste. Bring the brood to the Mediterranean coast and laze on the beaches of the Costa del Sol. Discover kid-friendly locales like Barcelona’s colorful Park Güell and the City of Arts and Sciences aquarium in Valencia. Or make it an active adventure by heading to Spain’s southern Andalusia region for off-roading near Ronda before finishing the trip on the coast.

Wonderful trip - better than I could have done myself!

As a veteran family vacation planner, it's not easy for me to admit, but Alfonso did it better. Activities were well chosen, taking our interests fully into consideration, and guides were all exceptional. We made things more difficult at the end by our last minute planning, but Alfonso nevertheless managed to score tickets to the Alhambra, perfectly timed to catch our train from Granada to Madrid. Hotels were exactly as hoped, and impeccably located. All transitions were perfectly seamless, and when we needed a minor adjustment it was managed in minutes. We really appreciated the daily check-ins from Alfonso and Uhaina to make sure we were still on course. It certainly makes it easier to ask questions as well.

All in all a wonderful service; I would not hesitate to use it again.
