Overview

Spain's quiet northern coast is reminiscent of Cornwall, with its steep sided river valleys running into sandy bays. It is the perfect place for a family adventure. Our base for the first 3 nights is a hotel with pool in the pretty area of Arenas de Cabrales in the foothills of the Picos de Europa. We start our activities on this Spanish family adventure holiday with a splash as we paddle in kayaks along the River Deva and then canyon down one of the attractive gorges.

An easy walking day takes us to a mountain refuge in the Picos de Europa, where we stay overnight. This is a great introductory hike for the children, and very exciting to sleep here in the family dormitories. The second half of the week we spend at a hotel near the beach in a lovely Spanish town. Here, we have a day cycling and a day to enjoy the sea, with the option of a surf lesson. Northern Spain is quick, easy and cheap to get to from the UK (and a whole world away from the overcrowded southern costas), making it altogether rather appealing for a family adventure holiday.
