Activities for Children in Costa del Sol
There is no excuse for bored children on holiday in the Costa
del Sol, as there is enough to cater for all age groups, even on
the rare occasion when the sun doesn't shine!
For younger children who still need to sit in a pushchair, the
Zoo in Fuengirola is ideal. If you don't hire a car, it is
conveniently located just a two minutes walk away from the bus
and train station. It is easy to get around and split into
different areas of the world. The restaurant food is pretty good
and reasonably priced too. For older children, I would recommend
Selwo Adventure Park, on the Autovia Costa del Sol Km 162,5,
Estepona. It is much bigger and spread out with a real safari
feel to it, but involves a lot of walking.
If it's animals you're after then you might also want to check
out Selwo Marina, the Sea Life Centre, Benalmadena and the
Crocodile Park in Torremolinos. If you're visiting Gibraltar,
there's more to the Rock than apes, there's dolphins too!
Dolphin World does a cruise around the bay, which gives you the
chance to get close to dolphins, flying fish and occasional
whales.
For thrill seekers there is Tivoli World amusement park, Arroyo
de la Miel, Benalmadena. You might fancy squeezing a trip to
Seville during your stay, in which case, you could visit Isla
Magica amusement park.
You can't visit the Costa del Sol during the summer without a
day at one of the water parks. There's 'Parque Acuatico' in
Mijas, 'Aquapark' in Torremolinos and 'Bahia Park Acuatico' in
Algeciras.
If you are still bored after all that, try a trip in the
'Telecabina' in Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmadena or see the city
of Malaga from one of the big open top buses, which picks up at
the bus station or outside the station at El Corte Ingles.
You don't need to spend a lot of money to show the kids a good
time. As well as the obvious day at the beach (the best ones
located towards and beyond Gibraltar), there are many impressive
playgrounds located along the coast. Estepona has an enormous
one along the promenade. Hunt around where you are staying, as
good quality playgrounds are in abundance.
If you are unfortunate enough to be affected by bad weather
during your stay, you don't need to lock yourself up in
your
apartment with cable television. Estepona has a fantastic garden
centre, which boasts a huge pets corner, a few farmyard animals
outside and a great coffee shop with an infant's soft play area.
For older children, you might want to try one of the 'Centro
Comerciales' such as Miramar, Fuengirola, La Canada, Marbella or
Marina Banus in Puerto Banus. The shopping centres have multi
screen cinemas often showing films in English. La Canada has an
amusement arcade with video games and a ten-pin bowling alley.
Marina Banus is a small shopping centre with a fantastic indoor
park, Camelot Park catering for both younger and older children.
All the shopping centres have a vast selection of restaurants
ranging from fast food to traditional tapas bars.
If you are into watersports, you can't holiday in Andalucia
without a trip to Tarifa, the surf capital of Europe. Everyone
is currently going mad over kite surfing there, with loads of
schools and 'surfy' shops on offer. Even if you're not into
water sports, you'll be 'blown away' by Tarifa's beaches; in
fact you'll think you've landed in heaven. It is the closes that
you can get to beach paradise in Europe and the sea is crystal
clear. However, it does get pretty windy, so be prepared.
Although, it will feel a lot cooler than the Costa del Sol, you
can burn very quickly.
If its night life you're after but you haven't brought your
babysitter don't think you're doomed to stay in every night with
little ones. During the summer, every town has a feria with a
funfair, music, market, local food and a fantastic family
atmosphere. They don't really take off until very late and you
see Spaniards arriving with their babies at midnight!
Weather permitting, (which it generally does) and with a little
imagination and motivation to get up early whilst on your hols
you can never get bored on the Costa del Sol.
