If you have a family, even a small one, you’ll know that when holiday time comes around it’s usually time to take a deep breath, dig deep and start brushing up on your ‘just say no’ skills. But planning your annual holiday doesn’t have to be all about giving up your morning latte for three months in order to be able to afford a decent place to stay. Majorca family holidays are ideal for those on a budget because, whilst there is a mind-spinning array of activities, this delightful Balearic Island is one place where you definitely don’t need a lot of cash to help make your holiday flash.
The Best Things in Life are Free
…and one of the best things about Majorca family holidays is of course, the centre of all fun – the beach! Who doesn’t love the beach? In Majorca the wonderful climate means that you can hit the sand first thing in the morning and, unless you have other plans, the entire family can be entertained for the whole day. There’s no excuse to get bored on the beaches of Majorca, with miles of uninterrupted sand to play ball, run, walk, build sandcastles and make friends with other families. The gently shelving beaches are ideal for the younger children to enjoy paddling or, for the older ones, safely swim in the shallows. In Majorca, family holidays are extremely popular so it is not unusual for families to strike up friendships and create their own social activities like picnics and barbcues that don’t cost a lot.
Cheap Eats
The fact that Majorca is an island will give a clue as to some of the most popular food available. Fresh seafood abounds and, although eating out can be reasonably priced anyhow, buying your own supplies and creating a fantastic seafood barbecue for dinner is one of Majorca family holidays true pleasures. There’ll be no complaints from the kids when you serve up fat prawns, juicy fish and tasty mussels sautéed with garlic. There are plenty of supermarkets and, if you’re staying in accommodation with kitchen facilities, you’ll be able to stock up cheaply on fresh fruit, bread, olives and cold meats – everything in fact that you would need for a picnic! A fresh spread of all that yummy food without having to leave the beach, will tempt any child to abandon thoughts which may drift to ideas about golden arches…
Free Love
That’s love of the family kind of course. Majorca family holidays are so relaxing that instead of bickering about play-stations or arguing about the electricity bill, your family will instead be spending your ‘together time’ enjoying lazy days in the sun, long walks on the beach, bike rides through fishing villages or picnics at sunset. You will discover new ways to enjoy the simple things in life, and your time in Majorca will remind you that you don’t need to spend money to have fun. But the main thing that any holiday with the family can give you is time together – and that won’t cost a thing.
