If you're looking for a place to go with the kids on that summer vacation, consider Spain's Costa de la Luz. For one thing, it's stunningly beautiful here. Secondly, like any family-friendly destination, there is plenty of opportunity for learning and exploring. In this post we'll explore the top attractions and experiences in this coastal region of Andalusia — from Seville to Cádiz — starting at some of our favorite places within easy driving distance from Gibraltar or Tangier. We'll share advice on finding a cottage or apartment in Europe online and what you might expect to pay for your accommodations when arriving with children in tow from July through September. Then we'll finish up with some tips on the best beaches, activities, and places to eat out. We've recommended accommodations at several price points throughout this post. Because Spain's Costa de la Luz spans about 300 miles of coastline, you're likely to find something within your budget at one of our recommended locations. We've included a few suggestions for day trips inland as well, so settle in with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and let's get started!

The first section begins in Seville, which offers both the world-class reputation of its flamenco dancers and the cutting edge avant-garde that has made it Spain's most exciting city for tourists today. The second part of this post will take you to the provincial capital of Cádiz. Seville is a city known for its museums and art galleries, for its gardens and mansions, and for the palaces that showcase its royal splendor. It is unlikely that you'll find a more beautiful place in Spain than Seville's cathedral and Giralda tower — two architectural masterpieces that stand side by side in this historic city on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. The city's most famous landmark is La Giralda — a mosque-turned-tower — whose bell tower once guided ships arriving at Seville's port. The tower's entire surface is decorated with intricate hand-carved panels — one of the largest and most beautiful collections of Islamic art in the world. A little more than a mile away is Seville's cathedral — a Gothic masterpiece that was constructed between 1236 and 1489 and considered Spain's greatestexample of religious architecture until it was surpassed by the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, which started construction in 1883. The cathedral contains Spain's largest gothic cloister and one of the world's largest altars, which sits atop a giant stone base supporting the dome. However, it's the city's botanic garden that really takes the cake. From its formal flowerbeds to its Mediterranean-style garden, Seville's botanical gardens have won countless awards for outstanding design. It's also home to Spain's oldest oasis of palm trees, Tamarix gallica, which are believed to date back nearly 8,000 years. You can snack on fruit or drink mint tea here while you sit by the fountain in the middle of your very own ecosystem. Seville is also home to many fine museums and galleries dedicated to art, history, and science alike.
