Destination: Spain
LONELY PLANET'S OFFICIAL ITINERARY INFORMATION
Itinerary: Kid's Spain
Spain's standard diet of beaches, fiestas, castles and double-decker city tours will keep under 14s content most of the time. There are also many special local attractions. Barcelona has a great aquarium and other amusements at Port Vell. Around Catalonia, kids will enjoy Figueres' weird Teatre-Museu Dali, the strange rock pillars and breathtaking cable car of Montserrat, and Spain's biggest amusement/adventure park, Universal Mediterranea.
Down the Mediterranean coast, stimulate those little brain cells at Valencia's marvellous Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, before you set the adrenaline pumping at Benidorm's Terra Mitica, Aqualandia and Mundomar.
Entering Andalucia, stop for a Wild West shootout at Mini Hollywood. Estepona's wildlife park Selwo Aventura stands out among the Costa del Sol's many kid-friendly attractions. In Gibraltar youngsters love the cable car, the apes, the dolphin-spotting boat trips and the tunnels in the upper rock. Next stop: Jerez de la Frontera for its zoo and the prancing horses of the Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre. In Seville, Isla Magica thrills the white-knuckle brigade.
Up in Madrid head for the Faunia and the Casa de Campo, with its big amusement park, then head out to Warner Brothers Movie World.
