During the autumn term-break, we went to Mallorca to hike as a family on this Balearic island that we already knew and that we wanted to discover in a different light. Hiking with the kids in Mallorca was a really good idea! There are easy hikes in Mallorca, suitable for children, but also some more difficult hikes for families used to walking. The climate at the end of October was ideal. We had 22-23°C every day. These are seasonal norms. Obviously, weather is not an exact science so we are delighted to have had very good weather during our week of hiking in Mallorca!… —— Lire la suite ——
It was not our first time in Andalusia but it was our first trip to Andalusia with the kids. We went there during the Easter holidays, making sure not to be there during Semana Santa to avoid the crowds and find accommodation more easily, at lower prices. However, we saw the preparations for the decorations for Semana Santa so it was interesting to show this aspect to the children. Between the landscapes, the sunny weather, the architecture of the cities and the Spanish cuisine, it has been a great trip! In the introduction, I would like to point out that the choice of our stays would not have been the same in the case of a very first trip to Andalusia.… —— Lire la suite —— Our itinerary for a week in Andalusia
In December, we spent a week as a family in Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Our goal was to hike with the kids because we really love it! Titpuce and Ticoeur are real little hikers who are already used to long walks. They are doing really well for their age (9 and 12 years old) so I will specify the level of our hikes in the details of the article. You will see: we have chosen hikes of very varied levels so, rest assured, there will be something for everyone! Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands. It is known for its Teide National Park and it is this vast volcanic space that made us want to go there!… —— Lire la suite ——
After our family trip to Mallorca last year, we chose to discover Menorca this year: we wanted to enjoy the Balearic Islands but with fewer tourists because Mallorca is a beautiful destination but it is even more overcrowded in August than any other islands we know in the Mediterranean region. Day 1: Late arrival in Ciutadella: first family walk in its picturesque port and amid its medieval alleys.… —— Lire la suite ——
In short: goal achieved! It was much less crowded than Mallorca because the capacity in terms of accommodation is much more limited; it also means that prices are a bit higher and that you have to book ahead.Cala Macarelleta
Our itinerary for a week in Menorca with the kids:
It is time I tell you about our week in Mallorca at the end of August. Every year, we try to plan a family week with the grandparents and this summer we chose Mallorca, the largest island in the Balearics. Why? Because we like Spain and the Mediterranean very much and the budget is very reasonable. I had heard a lot about Mallorca before leaving: so yes it is a very touristy island (and that’s a euphemism!) but most of the tourists are concentrated in the south, near Palma. So, inevitably we went the opposite way, in the northeast :-).… —— Lire la suite ——
