I am looking for an authentic holiday experience (ie if in Spain it feels like Spain etc!), with lots of life for tweens/younger kids, scenery and good food for us, not too much driving....we are struggling to find the solution. We went to Salou last month purely for the kids and it was a huge hit with them (despite 2 of our dc having suspected ecoli, but that is another story). The area left us cold but we were happy they were so excited by evrything on offer (night shows, pools and slides, trampolines etc) Our olders dc loved it so much I would love to find something they love as much again - but where we also like the area. We have done glamping in Umbria (too quiet for dc), Cyprus (mountains and coast - great but too hot in summer!), Puerto Pollensa (successful but a bit soulless for us), several Eurocamps in France (weather hit and miss)... Has anybody got a recommendation of somewhere that balances character/quaintness with liveliness for 10-13 age groups and where we dont need to drive forever. Having returned from Salou where we had a short taxi transfer we will struggle to return to hire car and the stress of driving big distances! I am looking at next summer. Also budget below £5k for 5 including flights. Anyone, help?
