Who else enjoys a map full of attractions to visit with children? I put together one with more than 50 interesting attractions to visit in Portugal and Spain with my little ones and I'm now sharing it on the blog for you to enjoy too.
I found these recommended places for children in various newspaper articles, blogs and posts Facebook groups, but I'm sure new ones will appear and I'll update them often. The idea is to get to know the places little by little while visiting places that are also interesting for us, the parents.

You can move around the map above to see what interests you most.
