Travelling with kids encompasses much planning for safety, packing and venues that are suitable for them so that they can enjoy the trip too. Spain is surely one of the most beautiful and diverse places for a vacation, but with kids on board, plans must change a bit. Aragon area in northeast Spain includes many diverse venues that suit all ages and are family-friendly. Here are the region’s top kids-friendly venues that are relatively close so you can pay a visit to most of them on the same day.
