Barcelona
When it comes to summer getaways, Spain tends to tick all the boxes for families. While many head straight for the comfort of the Costa Brava or Costa del Sol because of the wealth of family product and familiarity, this shouldn’t put you off recommending something a little different.
Extended families Family holidays don’t have to just involve a beach and a budget-friendly hotel. It is possible to throw in a bit of history and culture along the way too and Barcelona couldn’t be a better option. The city offers the perfect balance of beach and city life. Point out the places of
interest nearby to help bring the holiday to life for your customer. Sports fans would love the Camp Nou football stadium or the old Olympic arena, while the
shopping in the city is also a big draw. For relaxation, head to some of the nearby beaches. Barceloneta beach is popular but, in peak season, it’s very crowded. Nova Icària beach is good for watersports but, for peace and quiet and white sand, Ocata beach is perfect, and only half an hour away by train.
