Mainland Spain is a diverse and exciting destination for family holidays, providing a wide range of activities, landscapes, and cultural activities. Spain holidays will never disappoint, as there are so many places to stay, visit, experience and enjoy!

Costa Blanca

Benidorm leads the charge with holidays to Costa Blanca, with a four-mile stretch of soft sand and a skyline of skyscrapers, it provides a beach break with a twist. This place is home to family-friendly attractions like the Terra Mitica and Aqualandia theme parks. Another one of the Costa Blanca’s big hits is Alicante, with its hilltop castle and chic boutiques, it still feels deeply Spanish. Away from the coast, there’s another side of Spain to explore. If you are searching for a bit of adventure, you can explore the rocky hills and orange-growing valleys to discover the mountaintop town of Guadalest, the palm-grove village of Elche, and the beautiful Algar waterfalls.

Costa del Sol

A diamond sheltered on the southern coast of Spain; the Costa del Sol has been drawing in British travellers to its golden shores for over 60 years. Costa del Sol holidays offer a little something for everyone, with miles of golden sandy coastline, charming old towns, and a colourful nightlife that will have you dancing until dawn. Thanks to the Costa del Sol's pleasant year-round temperatures, the water parks here are a great way for you to cool off especially if you are travelling with kids who will be spoiled for choice with slides and attractions at Tivoli World in Benalmadena. If you are travelling with younger kids, Kidzworld at Aqualand Torremolinos means they don’t need to miss out on the fun, as they can play in the fountains and water playgrounds, while older guests can enjoy more impressive challenges.

Costa Brava

Known as the 'Wild Coast' of Spain, Costa Brava offers sublime landscapes, sandy beaches, and rocky coves just waiting for you to explore. Costa Brava is a coastal paradise with stunning backdrops for holidaymakers looking for a sunny getaway. Costa Brava's Blue Flag beaches and entertainment combined with traditional cobbled plazas and pastel villages make it a perfect destination for a beach break. You're guaranteed to enjoy a few days by the sand whether you choose to participate in activities such as windsurfing or jet skiing or you can decide to just sit back and enjoy the sunshine. For those of you looking for some activities beyond the coast, there’s plenty for you to discover. You can visit the Salvador Dali Theatre Museum in Figueres to observe his surrealist artwork. Golfers can perfect their stroke at the many rolling greens whilst shopaholics can head to the chic storefronts of Barcelona to explore fashion labels and trendy boutiques.

Barcelona

You can explore all of the unconventional sights, the gorgeous coastline and the heart of this bustling city at your leisure. This amazing metropolis makes for the ultimate getaway. From eating tapas on Las Rambla to gazing at the stunning Sagrada Familia, Barcelona has so much to discover. You can fill your days in this stunning city by following the trail of architecture designed by Antoni GaudÌ and enjoy a refreshing gelato whilst succumbing to wanderlust as you stroll these picturesque streets. Barcelona has a unique vibe and be sure to check out the labyrinth of back streets where you will find quirky, local stores and markets for purchasing souvenirs. If you're looking for some relaxation after taking in all the sights, you can enjoy sun-soaked days at Barcelona Beach, where you can find a spot near the warm, crystal-covered seas.

Madrid

City breaks to Madrid are big for those looking to explore with a side of fine food and traditional entertainment and as you can imagine it’s no surprise that the Spanish capital’s a hit with culture vultures. It may be a modern city, but there is plenty of historical charm to be found in the labyrinth streets of Madrid's medieval city. Soaking up Madrid’s culture doesn’t just have to be for the daytime. The city comes to life in the evenings, so you might want to make time for a siesta. At night, tapas-tasting and traditional flamenco shows are available seven days a week. The shops along Grand Via and even some museums remain open until late if the sunsets and sangria are more your thing, you can stop by one of the swish rooftop bars that are scattered throughout the city.

Mainland Spain holidays offer a wide range of destinations for family holidays, combining beautiful beaches, cultural activities, and a multitude of activities for children. If you prefer the vibrant cities or the relaxing coasts, there is something for every family to enjoy.
