RURAL FAMILY HOLIDAY RENTALS
Andalucia has much to offer in the way of rural tourism. The striking landscapes of its natural parks occupy 17% of the region´s land, and even outside these protected areas, vast expanses of unspoilt mountains, forests and rivers make for a wonderful exploratory visit. For families, this can be an ideal getaway, and a more active alternative to a beach holiday.
Families can hire a car and explore at leisure, visiting the quaint and historic rural villages of southern Spain, or getting stuck into sports, fishing and birdwatching. The many ventas dotted along the roadsides offer cheap and cheerful eats to families on the go. More adventurous types might want to try horseriding or hiking to catch the best vistas of the sierras.
