Wonderful family trip across four Spanish cities, well paced for kids without feeling rushed. Valencia's Central Market was a sensory delight for the whole family, so many things to taste and see.
Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences felt like stepping onto a spaceship and our daughter refused to leave. We split the trip across the four cities and each one handed the family a completely different flavour of Spain.
Montserrat cable car and the Alcazaba in Malaga were the two standout days for our family. Kids were engaged throughout, never once complained of being bored across nine nights.
Valencia's market turned out to be everyone's favourite stop of the whole trip.
Great sights all round, though the cafes crowding round Sagrada Familia badly overcharged us for a quick family lunch.
Restaurants right around Sagrada Familia and the City of Arts and Sciences were quite overpriced for what was on offer, frustrating when travelling with a family on a budget. The sights themselves were still spectacular despite that.
