If you’re traveling to the Costa Dorada with children and you are unsure where to go, don’t\u00a0worry! The Costa Dorada is a perfect destination for families. To give you some ideas where to start, here are 10 things to do with the\u00a0family on\u00a0the Costa Dorada, beyond enjoying the beaches and water sports.<\/p>\n

1. Travel to prehistory in the Caves of Espluga de Francoli<\/h3>\n

The Cave of the Font Major<\/strong> in l’Espluga de Francol\u00ed was already inhabited in the Palaeolithic. There are\u00a0guided tours, audiovisual activities and tours available where you can discover what life was like millions of years ago. Moreover,\u00a0it is one of the longest caves conglomerates in the world. So, \u00a0don’t forget to take your jacket no matter what season of\u00a0the year you are in, the temperature inside is about 15 \u00b0 C.<\/p>\n

2. Definitely one of the best things to do with the family on the Costa Dorada: Spend a day at Port Aventura in family<\/h2>\n

We know, it is a classic, but a family holiday on the Costa Dorada<\/strong> can not be considered complete without a visit to this fantastic theme park. From the boldest attractions like the Shambhala, until the Polynesian dances or fire shows, in Port Aventura<\/strong><\/a> fun is guaranteed for the little ones… and for those big\u00a0ones too! No doubt this is one of the top\u00a0things to do with the family on the Costa Dorada!<\/p>\n

3. Walk\u00a0the via ferrata of Morera de Montsant<\/h3>\n

However, if besides the beach,\u00a0you and your family like the mountain too and have adventurous spirit, you can walk\u00a0the Sierra del Montsant following the via ferrata<\/strong> that starts at\u00a0the Morera. The scenery and views really deserve a good walk. The recommended minimum height for this activity is 150 cm. nor we recommend it for very young children.<\/p>\n

4. Being miners for a day in Bellmunt del Priorat<\/h3>\n

Although your kids<\/strong> will probably not become\u00a0miners in a future, you can always make yourselves feel like one for a while and\u00a0walk almost a kilometer of galleries 35 meters underground in the mine of Bellmunt. In addition, in the area of the museum and the old garage, you can see what life was like in an old mining colony.<\/p>\n

5. Riding in Pratdip<\/h3>\n

On the fifth position of the 10 things to do with the family on the Costa Dorada we find riding in Pratdip. If your children dream of being Amazons, jockeys or cowboys, in this small town you will find the Rancho Riding Las\u00a0Rocas<\/strong>, where you can enjoy excursions on horseback through the mountains, pony rides for the little ones and night excursions that lead to beach.<\/p>\n

6. Learn how to manufacture\u00a0glass in Vimbod\u00ed<\/h3>\n

If you’re traveling with curious kids who are always asking about how this is done and how that works, you can’t miss the\u00a0Museum and Furnace of Glass in Vimbod\u00ed<\/strong>. There you will enter\u00a0the world of glass and you will be able to\u00a0see live how the pieces of blown glass\u00a0are made.<\/p>\n

7. Make family caving in the caves of l’Espluga de Francoli<\/h3>\n

Another thing to do on the Costa Dorada<\/strong>\u00a0if you’re adventurous is to join one of the tours for caving in the caves of l’Espluga. Wetsuits, flashlights and… let the adventure through an underground galleries going up the river begin! Although the maximum water depth is 1.5 m. we do not recommend this activity for young children.<\/p>\n

8. Visit the Tortoises\u00a0Interpretation and Reproduction Center<\/h3>\n

In Mar\u00e7\u00e0 there is a turtle recovery center that is responsible for protecting, breeding and reintroducing the Mediterranean tortoise<\/strong> in their natural habitat. This is a good place for kids to be\u00a0aware of the importance of protecting nature while learning about these endangered tortoises in the Costa Dorada.<\/p>\n
