With your family Unlimited adventures Who has a better time, adults or children? It’s impossible to know. On the beach, in the city or in the forest, they can all go on an endless number of adventures.

Parc Samà romantic garden

s it a giant mushroom? That’s what it looks like, and the children are fasci- nated by the view that appears before them while strolling in the Poblet For- est (Costa Daurada). In fact, mushrooms are painted on different trees. When you look at the trees from a certain angle, you can see them. Walking through this forest is one way, but by no means the only way, to explore natural scenery and the main cultural attractions in Catalonia with your children. Further to the north, in the area of Sant Pere Pescador (Costa Brava), adven- ture awaits in the water. You can kayak down part of the Fluvià river to watch the birds in the area. The marine vi-llage of Es- tartit (Costa Brava) for a few days, looks to the Illes Medes, waiting for the arrival of pirates and corsairs. The vi-llage trans- forms, there are shows in the street and lots of activities for families.

At Mon Natura Pirineus (Pirineus), lo- cated at an altitude of 1,393 metres, you can see foxes and lynxes, discover the bears’ habitat, watch vultures flying over our heads, or enjoy the galaxy from the as- tronomical observatory. There are many family-friendly ways to visit, such as relaxing on the beach in the sun or playing water sports, exploring na- ture in the mountains, visiting an amuse- ment park like Port Aventura, or participat- ing in cultural experiences. Consider visiting the mines in Cercs or Cardona or immerse yourselves in the marine life of the L’Aquàrium of Barcelona. There is always a cultural activity nearby to complete the ex- perience. In Catalonia, we have 25 certified family tourism destinations covering the most diverse and beautiful landscapes. It is obvious that Catalonia is particularly well prepared for family experiences.

Enjoy an ideal outing for the whole family. Visit the historic and romantic Parc Samà garden in Cambrils and travel back in history to the time of the indianos, the Catalans who made their fortune in Cuba, and learn about their trips there and back, which are addressed in a single space in which the cultures of the old and new worlds combine. Visiting Parc Samà with your family is a game in which you stroll, play, eat an afternoon snack, run, and learn in a labyrinth of animals, trees, water, bridges, and towers with a treasure map in your hand. The activity is offered throughout the year and is available in Catalan, Spanish, English, French, and Russian.

a workshop at the museu de xocolata, pirates and PRIVATEERS at the Illes Medes, and a stroll around cap de creus.
