When travelling to Spain with children it is not always easy to find hotels where the kids are not looked down upon when they throw some food on the dining room floor or frowned at when they mount a tantrum in the reception area. Below we look at a few hotels in Spain that cater specifically for the needs of children so adults can get more opportunities for maximum relaxation in the knowledge that the children are being looked after and entertained.
