Yes for you Easter holidays with children You want to combine the celebrations of these dates with the discovery of the attractions of a city, these are our proposals. Don't get lost the best urban destinations for Easter.
We travel from Zamora to Seville, passing through Cáceres, Toledo and Cartagena. We have chosen five cities for their traditional value in Holy Week as we could have chosen many others, but the options are almost endless. We are lucky.
Seville with children
In the Hispanic city we can live one of the most spectacular celebrations of Holy Week and also Seville offers many attractions for family visits.
Next to the theme park of Isla Mágica that we talked about earlier, in Seville we can take a train ride through the Parque del Alamillo, some photos next to the Giralda, a walk through the Santa Cruz neighborhood, get lost in the Jewish quarter, get to know Triana , tour the Guadalquivir by boat, go to a flamenco show ...
In addition, children will love to be the protagonist of "Star Wars" in a film setting such as the Plaza de España, including riding a horse-drawn carriage, climbing to "Mount Gurugú" in the fabulous gardens of María Luisa, chasing the Doves in the small Plaza de América ... Very soon you will want to return to continue exploring Seville.
Cartagena in Holy Week
Cartagena (Murcia) is another city with a Holy Week Declared of International Tourist Interest and in it a procession of special interest for children, the so-called "la burrica", Palm Sunday. Here you can consult all the information about the Holy Week in Cartagena.
In Cartagena we can also visit interesting museums with the kids like ARQUA, step on a Roman theater, see the Peral submarine and do paint workshops for the kids. A tourist boat pass or a visit to Torres Park with its castle are very interesting too. Soon we will return to the city to not miss detail.
Toledo with children
In Toledo some of the most beautiful processions of Holy Week take place, declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest (here all the program and meaning of these celebrations). In addition, the city has a special charm to enjoy as a family with its mix of cultures and its unique artistic heritage. In Toledo we have climbed with the kids to Zocotrén and have made a beautiful ecological path next to the Tagus, which you will enjoy in good weather.
But we have also discovered interesting museums, mosques, synagogues and many charming corners. In addition, the city celebrates the IV centenary of El Greco and there a complete cultural program awaits us. Children over six years of age may participate in painting workshops on Saturdays to become "Little Grecos."
Zamora in Holy Week
Holy Week in Zamora It is another of the most renowned, so it is likely that you want to approach this city. Its main attractions are cultural, and the castle stands out as a place of enjoyment for children, in which to feel small knights and medieval ladies.
The castle is accessible even in the battlements, thus constituting an imposing viewpoint from which to contemplate the Cathedral, the river and the entire city, dotted with the work of the Zamorano sculptor Baltasar Lobo. The great concentration of Romanesque churches in the old town is unique.
Of course, the whole family will enjoy the gastronomy and we can also do some interesting excursion through the province (Toro, Sanabria Natural Park ...). Here you have all the information of Holy Week Zamora.
Cáceres with children
The cobbled streets of Cáceres move us to another era. Here the processions are spectacular, Easter is a Festival of National Tourist Interest and also the city that is enjoyed at any time of the year holds many incentives.
The fabulous monumental complex of Cáceres is combined with a spectacular natural environment in the province, highlighting the National Park of Monfragüe, a highly recommended visit with the kids. It is worth moving away momentarily from the city to feel this impressive nature.
I hope you already have clearer yours Easter holidays with children, but do not miss detail of the next installments because we will still give you many other ideas to enjoy with the kids of these days. The fact is that nobody stays at home and the whole family has a great time ...
