1. The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos
The gardens are large, with fountains, ponds and peacocks. For a child it is a park with a castle included.
2. The Royal Stables
An equestrian show with Andalusian horses in a 16th-century building. Children are fascinated by it. Check the timetable.
3. A boat ride on the Guadalquivir
A 45-minute trip with views of the Roman Bridge and the Mosque. Calm and different.
4. Medina Azahara
The ruins of an entire city with streets, halls and aqueducts. Frame it as an archaeological expedition and children get hooked.
5. The Botanical Garden
Next to the river. Greenhouses, a shaded arboretum and a palaeobotany museum that sparks curiosity.
6. The Roman Bridge and the Calahorra Tower
Cross the bridge on foot and climb the tower. The views from the top are more popular with kids than they expect.
7. Artisan ice cream in the Jewish Quarter
The perfect bribe between one cultural visit and the next.
8. Arab baths as a family
We admit minors from the age of 12. For teenagers it is an experience unlike anything they know: no phone, water at different temperatures and a flotation pool that leaves them speechless. They usually come out surprised.
