EASTER HOLIDAYS WITH CHILDREN: WE WANT ACTION

We are getting closer the Easter holidays that we will enjoy with the children and this time we want to enjoy an active leisure time. How can we feel in full nature activating body and mind, discharging adrenaline and, above all, having fun?

We will climb through the trees, throw ourselves through zip lines, descend rivers, practice archery and even go for a burrito ride. Activities that fascinate young and old and that will make us spend some fabulous days of action in different corners of Spain.

Crossing rivers with children

A river can be known in several ways: from afar, from near or from within. We are not talking about diving into its waters, too cold at this time, but about jump into the river on a canoe to cross its waters, as we can do in Aranjuez, in the Alto Tajo (Guadalajara)…

In reservoirs such as (Asturias) or Benagéber (Valencia), Montanejos (Castellón) or Joaquín Costa (Huesca) there is this option, as well as in lakes (Sanabria). Also at sea we can get on a canoe, as in Cabo de Gata (Almería), where they make an initiation route for families.

We can also lean towards something else adrenaline, always with all safety measures and with children from four or five years: a rafting raft. The fun is guaranteed and we can find this option in the majority of active tourism companies that also offer kayaking in rivers: for example in the Sierra de Guara (Huesca, from six years old), the Ricote Valley (Murcia, from four years) ...

Adventures in the trees

We are now going to place ourselves in a little piece of forest that has been transformed, respecting the trees, in a small adventure park. Over the trees through suspension bridges, zip lines and circuits Of different difficulty for all ages we can have a lot of fun.

This possibility exists in practically every corner of our geography, for example in the Jerte Valley (Extremadura), in Madrid, Segovia or Burgos, Colmenar de Oreja (Madrid), the Basque Country, Cádiz ...

Donkey Ride

Nothing to enjoy a privileged natural environment like walking through it. But, What if we climb on the back of a burrito? These nice animals, very quiet, allow children from two years to approach them and take care of them.

We can ride on a donkey in Rukimon (near Mataró), in Terra de rucs (Ripollés), Juanino's donkeys (Vejer de la Frontera, Cádiz) ... And the older ones can also be horse riders in many parts of the geography Spanish.

Caving for children

Do you want to emulate the protagonists of "Journey to the center of the Earth"? You only have to wear the caving helmet and explore caves. We can live this experience in very different places, such as in Sorbas (Almería, from three years), in Montanejos (Castellón), Asturias (from seven years), the Aragonese Pyrenees ...

Archery

We finish becoming archers to practice aiming emulating Guillermo Tell. For children, a special material with plastic bows and arrows is used for added safety. We can target (or at least try) in Benagéber (Valencia), Montanejos (Castellón), Buendía (Cuenca), Colmenar de Oreja (Madrid) ... in beautiful natural environments with other proposals for active tourism.

These are just some ideas, but surely you fancy other options such as climbing, hiking, bike rides, via ferrata, windsurfing, bird watching ... The possibilities multiply and each family will have their favorite to spend a fabulous active leisure in contact with nature

We hope you are proposals for families with children looking for action on Easter holidays serve as inspiration. Sure, whatever your destination, but especially if it is rural or beach, you have good options for active tourism. Good trip!
