Children and parents rate fun activities around Marbella!

marbella family

This site is a genuine Marbella family initiative. It is the result of numerous trips, fun experiences and sometimes different points of view...

Here you will find a description of many activities you can do around Marbella and we will introduce you to our favorite spots on the Costa del Sol. You will also find some useful information about
Andalusia travel and our opinion about places we usually go to.

What makes this site original and useful for visitors with children? The descriptions are followed by a unique evaluation from each family member... Each of us gives the experience a grade, like in school, from 1 to 10 (1 being an 'Nightmare / Skip it!' and 10 being 'Excellent / Must go!), and writes up a few thoughts. Each of us is responsible for his/her own comments and grades... Of course, these are our humble opinions and must be taken with a grain of salt...

To make MarbellaFamilyFun.com more objective, we also invite friends and visitors to share their experience about traveling around Andalusia. There is an easy review form on every page so that you can send us your opinion.

How did MarbellaFamilyFun.com come to life? Mom and Dad wanted to create a family project for all of us to share. Something that would interest and motivate each of us, something that would be fun to do. In all truth, they also saw it as a fantastic educational opportunity for the children... Plus now, all our friends and family can better plan their trip when they visit us...

As we did not know much about building web sites, we looked for a simple internet platform that would lead us through the process with limited efforts and that the children would easily understand. We decided to use SBI!, an English-based solution which has pleasantly surprised us by its comprehensive and inexpensive nature. If you are ever interested in starting your own family project, we can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Just a few words about ourselves... We are a multi-cultural family living in Marbella for a few years. Our son is a budding teenager, very involved in sport activities and his Xbox. Our daughter is a pre-teen, always smiling and loves music, dance and hanging out with her friends. As parents, we are both athletic, enjoy food and discovering new restaurants as well as the rich Andalusian culture. And of course, we have a family dog that we take on some of our tripsÂ… he loves the dunes of Tarifa. Finally, we are all well-traveled, quite active, love the sun and feel privileged to live in Marbella.

Why did we move to Marbella? There are so many reasons why we chose to live in Marbella, but it's the great quality of life that led us here. Naturally, this general concept depends a lot on your personal situation. However, there are objective reasons why the quality of life on the Costa del Sol is so good. Read on why we, and so many others, move to Spain and check out our Marbella Family Fun interview by Costa Women.

So look around the site... If you find it useful, please send us your reviews and comments. We would really love to hear from your family!
