Imagine this: the sun is shining brightly on the Costa Tropical, and you, as a parent, are looking for ways to make the vacation memorable for your children. Whether you are in La Herradura, Nerja, Frigiliana, Torrox or Almunecar stays, this enchanting region offers a wealth of activities for the whole family. Here we take you on a journey full of adventures and discoveries.
Our first stop is the enchanting village of Soportujar in La Alpujarra. A place where time seems to stand still and fantasy comes alive. While children have fun with witches, dragons and other fairy-tale characters, parents enjoy a tasty Spanish lunch. Soportujar, with its charming theme, is not only a day out, but also a gateway to the breathtaking Alpujarra region.
For families looking for a touch of adventure, fishing on the Costa Tropical is a must. Pick up an affordable fishing pole at the local Decathlon in Motril and explore the lively waters around Marina del Este in La Herradura. The kids will watch in amazement at the rocks, many fish and who knows, maybe even catch a glimpse of playful dolphins or whales.
Explore the coastline with exciting water sports like supping and kayaking. At Windsurf La Herradura or Maro Beach, you can rent equipment and enjoy trips on clear blue water with your kids. And even in winter, when the sun shines mildly, you can dress warmly and experience these adventurous activities.
The Costa Tropical is not just sun and sea; it also offers wonderful hiking opportunities. Take your children on a hike through the natural parks, where they can play with branches and even splash in streams. With binoculars in hand, you can spot mountain goats, birds of prey and even foxes.
For young adventurers, the region's castles are a source of imagination. Whether it is the small castle of La Herradura or the impressive Alhambra in Granada, children will feel like real princes and princesses. Make a day of it and finish with refreshments in the terraces around the castles.
An exciting adventure awaits in the famous caves of Nerja. While children are fascinated by the impressive rocks, parents can enjoy the unique atmosphere of this underground wonder. After the caves, nearby Frigiliana offers a charming setting for a relaxing afternoon, complete with a train ride for the little ones.
Near the imposing castle of Almunecar is the Loro Sexi Ornithological Park, a paradise for bird lovers. Colorful parrots, ockatoos, and other exotic bird species provide an enchanting experience for the whole family.
