Holiday Spain - Inexpensive Family Travel  by Tonya Thomas
 

If you are hoping and planning to travel Europe, Spain, or the UK, why not consider a camping adventure for the entire family. There are a number of sprawling new campsites - some of which are located right on the beach. These campsites are usually self-catering with lodging in mobile home communities. The pricing of these rentals is generally much less expensive than hotels and similar accommodations.  Best of all, most campsites are family friendly and offer a somewhat neighbourly atmosphere which lends   to increased comfort, heightened feelings of relaxation, and more adult eyes to act as security. No longer does "camping" imply thoughts of tents and roughing it. These mobile home units feature swimming pools, gyms, saunas, air conditioning, wi-fi internet access, restaurants, markets, game rooms for the kids, and much more. Here is one example, located near Barcelona Spain in Vilanova I la Geltru.

Places Where Safety is Paramount

Currently, safety is paramount for most parents, which can make selecting a family camping holiday travel destination more than a little difficult. We have all heard the horror stories of children going missing when the parent's back is turned for only the briefest moment. At the same time, you want your kids to have fun and, I am sure you want to enjoy yourself, as you so richly deserve. 'Camping Holiday Spain', Paramount Places has leapt to the forefront of safe, secure family holiday provision where children can play and parents can relax without fear of the worst happening.

They are just one of a number of companies which offer camping holidays near Barcelona in Spain. It is hard to think of a better place to go on holiday, with: glorious sunshine, beautiful sandy beaches, amazing tourist attractions and a fully equipped campsite. There is nothing that this start up company has not thought of in their efforts to make your stay pleasant.

These non-traditional camping resorts are an alternative to expensive hotels and similar resort locations. Yet, they are becoming increasingly popular due to their low cost and self-catering opportunities.  Barcelona campsites are open every month of year, pricing is split into three seasons - meaning that everyone can afford to go camping in Barcelona at some point. Do not be fooled into believing that because these Spanish holidays are cheap, they must be deficient in other ways, i.e.: provision of entertainments and activities. On the contrary, I know of at least two campsites offering a wealth of amenities, including but not limited to; two luxury swimming pools, a children's pool, a bar and restaurant, take-away food, toilets with both baby changing and disabled facilities, a supermarket and general store, sports facilities, a well stocked video games room, discos, a children's clubhouse and provision of grown-up activities too. The facilities provided just keep expanding, with a new multi-gym having been installed recently, complete with; an indoor swimming pool, saunas etc. The sports facilities on the Barcelona campsites are the best. During your holiday in Spain you will be able to participate in everything from; football and volleyball to aerobics and rambling, if you so wish. These Vilanova i la Geltru campsite are only a short distance from a plethora of other activities, such as a theme park and water park, both of which make fantastic days out for the whole family. The more sedate campers can simply relax on the large terraces of the on-site bar or walk around Barcelona viewing the sites.

Now that you have a good idea of where your entire family can stay on the cheap, let me show you a variety of tourist excursions available nearby in historic Barcelona Spain. Of course, you want to lay by the pool and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, however, Barcelona is a city offering a number of attractions. 

Things To Do:  Experience Culture of Barcelona, Spain 

Temple Expiatori De La Sagrada Familia at Night, Barcelona, Catalonia, SpainBarcelona's location is centrally located on the Costa Dorada - the "Golden Coast." From here or anywhere close by you can travel and visit other major European cities and see their fine art and culture. Barcelona hosted the 1992 Olympic Games promoting a mass of tourism to the beauty of Spain. Now, after the Olympic Games completion, the city uses this former Olympic Village, for activities such as sporting and cultural events. 

Barcelona is a very popular city and is the second largest city in Spain. Barcelona is located north-eastern Spain, in the Mediterranean, and is the world's busiest seaport sporting a beautiful coastline. It is the capital of the Spanish community of Catalonia, where the famous architect designer, Gaudi, built many houses and apartment buildings.

Barcelona's most famous street is La Rambla, which is the liveliest part of town. The town has cafes, street performers, and artists. In English speaking places, kiosks sell small and inexpensive items, such as maps, newspapers, magazines, or lighters to tourists. Kiosks are booths that have an open window on one side for the vendors to interact with buyers.

If you are planning to travel with children, the zoo is the most popular place. Everyone loves the zoo. The Barcelona zoo is huge and has thousands of animals and hundreds of different species from all over the world. The zoo is one of the major reasons people visit the city. 

Clearly, whether you love art, adventure, history, or animals, Barcelona and nearby areas such as Vilanova I la Geltru is a great choice for you to spend a family holiday Spain. If you love art, the city has many major galleries. The Picasso Museum is one of the most popular museums in Spain. There is always something going on around town and it is very hard to choose which place to go visit first. 

In short, if you are considering spending your holidays in Spain this year, then hop on over to fun at 'Camping Holiday Spain' from Paramount Places.  It is the newest campsite installation at Vilanova Park, and well worth a look. Ample fun waits to be had by the entire family; both young and old alike. All of this in a very safe and secure camping environment.
