Hiking in the Gorafe Desert with the Family was one of the highlights we had in mind for our latest trip to Andalusia. After exploring the main Andalusian cities and the famous white villages on previous visits, we were keen to discover the “desert” side of the region. And as you know us, we love family hikes! So, the famous 24 km hike in the Gorafe Desert seemed like a perfect plan—admittedly a bit of a challenge, but nothing we couldn’t handle.
We based ourselves in Guadix to explore the desert. This town in eastern Andalusia is famous for its cave houses.… —— Lire la suite ——

Discovering the Caminito del Rey as a family was a truly wonderful experience during our trip to Andalusia with the children. A few years ago, I had already wanted to venture onto this famous Andalusian path, but it was extremely dangerous at the time as it had no safety measures. It was probably the most dangerous via ferrata in the world! But after many years of closure and extensive renovation work, the Caminito del Rey reopened to the public in 2015, now fully secured. There’s no longer any reason to worry. The path is very well laid out and feels solid!… —— Lire la suite ——

During the autumn term-break, we went to Mallorca to hike as a family on this Balearic island that we already knew and that we wanted to discover in a different light. Hiking with the kids in Mallorca was a really good idea! There are easy hikes in Mallorca, suitable for children, but also some more difficult hikes for families used to walking. The climate at the end of October was ideal. We had 22-23°C every day. These are seasonal norms. Obviously, weather is not an exact science so we are delighted to have had very good weather during our week of hiking in Mallorca!… —— Lire la suite ——

It was not our first time in Andalusia but it was our first trip to Andalusia with the kids. We went there during the Easter holidays, making sure not to be there during Semana Santa to avoid the crowds and find accommodation more easily, at lower prices. However, we saw the preparations for the decorations for Semana Santa so it was interesting to show this aspect to the children. Between the landscapes, the sunny weather, the architecture of the cities and the Spanish cuisine, it has been a great trip! In the introduction, I would like to point out that the choice of our stays would not have been the same in the case of a very first trip to Andalusia.… —— Lire la suite —— Our itinerary for a week in Andalusia

During the Christmas holidays, we spent a week in the sunshine of Tenerife with the family. We loved it! That said, I was a little apprehensive because we had already been on holiday in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, and the bar was set pretty high! But we weren’t disappointed. Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands; Mount Teide is impressive and it’s clearly a perfect destination for hiking lovers — but not only for them! So here’s a glimpse of what we managed to do in one week in Tenerife, bearing in mind that it’s a short time for such a large island, so we’ll definitely be going back to explore more!… —— Lire la suite ——
