Have you been to Northern Spain with kids? When people talk about Spain family travel, they often mention Barcelona, Madrid and the beauty of Spanish beaches. However, if you’re visiting the country in the summertime, we recommend going to Northern Spain with kids.

We spent an entire summer driving through Northern Spain with kids, and wish we had stayed for longer. Northern Spain is a very different place than Southern Spain or another region of the country. It can be quite cold and wet in the winter months, but for a summer holiday, the weather is damn near perfect. Moreover, Northern Spain is much less crowded than Andalusia, Barcelona, the Costa Blanca and other main tourist hubs.
