What Is It Really Like Living In Sotogrande With Children

By : Lyndsey O'Halloran

AD | Collaborative post Living in a beach resort in Spain with children sounds simple from the outside. You think about warmer evenings, beach bags by the door, food outside and weekends that do not need a long search for indoor plans. Sotogrande has plenty of that appeal, but the everyday version depends on more ordinary details. School times, bus stops, club pickups, the distance from home to friends and how children move around all start to matter. The beach is part of the decision, but the routine is what usually shows whether the move

Collaborative post A family holiday to Tenerife offers so many benefits. First and foremost, it’s a chance to get away and spend some quality time with your loved ones. All being well, you’ll be able to soak up some sun and take a break from the stresses and strains of everyday life. Of course, a family trip may not be quite as relaxing as a child-free holiday for just you and your partner, but seeing the kids enjoy themselves can be far more rewarding than any week spent on a sun lounger. And as much

7 things to do on a weekend break in Madrid

Madrid is similar to a Spanish version of New York City with over three million people. We can speak of American cities being rich in their history, but they are infants compared to Spanish Madrid’s political, religious, and artistic histories. This capital of Spain has given birth to writers like Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (Don Quixote) and Felix Lope de Vega. Its artists include Diego de Velazquez and Francisco de Goya. If you are visiting Madrid, plan to stay longer than a few days as this bustling city has much to offer, no matter what

Why Puerto Pollensa Is A Great Destination For Families

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

AD | Paid collaboration Last year we went on our first holiday abroad as a family. For something like this there was quite a lot of research involved as I wanted to make it really special and to make sure there was something for all of us. Our needs as a family of three were really quite simple though. All we wanted was some sun, a pool and good food but picking something without really knowing what to look for is hard. We finally decided on Puerto Pollensa in Majorca and we had such an

Why A Spanish Villa Could Work For Your Next Family Holiday

AD | Collaborative post I only went on a holiday overseas for the first time when I was 18 and I loved it. A week in Benidorm and the experience of complete freedom was exactly what I needed but it also got me hooked to travelling. Over the years I have been lucky enough to go on some wonderful holidays to places such as New York and Rome. However, now we are a family of three our holiday needs have changed quite a lot and that means looking at different kinds of holiday and accommodation.

What to expect from an all inclusive holiday package

By : Lyndsey OHalloran

At the age of 32 I had never been on an all inclusive holiday. I don’t know why but they had never really appealed to me before. I went through a crazy drinking phase before I was even legal to drink so by the time I was going on holidays I wasn’t interested in going somewhere to drink my money’s worth. When we booked our recent holiday to Majorca I wanted to not have to think about much while we were there so we splashed out and went all inclusive. However, I really didn’t know
