"The December bridge" is just around the corner. With the coincidence of the holidays on Monday and Wednesday, the majority of Spaniards will be able to enjoy a mini-vacation of three days that can be extended to five for the most fortunate. Galicia Family Destination has the perfect plan for those traveling as a family: come and enjoy Galicia and visit the community with your family in the middle of the Xacobeo Year.

For this reason, for this bridge in December, Galicia is the perfect destination if you are going to travel as a family. It is the ideal time to get to know the corners that make our community a unique place in the world and to taste its world-renowned gastronomy first-hand. We propose four complete plans, one for each Galician province, so that you can choose how to spend your holidays with establishments that are part of the Galicia Family Destination initiative.

A Coruña

The province of A Coruña is the most populated in all of Galicia. In fact, it has three cities in its limits: A Coruña itself, Ferrol and Santiago. The latter is one of the fashionable cities of this year due to the celebration of the Xacobeo Year. To visit Compostela as a family, we suggest that you stay at the Hotel Congreso, on the outskirts of the Galician capital. You can get up to 50% discount on accommodation and free breakfasts for the little ones.

If you want to start living the experience of the Camino de Santiago, the Tee Travel agency has designed an itinerary to do as a family with all the comforts. Adapted to go with children, it offers you the best kilometers of the Camino de Santiago as well as ideal accommodation for families, luggage transfer and personalized attention during the route. What more could you want?

If you want to know the Rías Altas, the picturesque town of Miño is your destination. At Hotel La Terraza you have an offer with free accommodation and breakfast for the little ones. In addition, they put at your disposal a bicycle service to discover new places pedaling as a family.

Lugo

The largest province in all of Galicia hides many secrets. In addition to the capital, where it is essential to visit its famous Roman wall, Lugo offers many points of interest for family trips. If we go to the coast, the one known as Mariña Lucense has a unique point that must be visited yes or yes: the beach of the Cathedrals. To get to know the area in depth, we suggest you opt for the Hotel O Val do Naseiro, located in Viveiro and which offers family rooms, children's menu and play areas, or else, already inland by Finca O Bizarro, in Trabada.

Another area worth visiting is the Ribeira Sacra. This area is shared by the province of Lugo and that of Ourense, on either side of the Miño and Sil rivers, and it has become one of the fashionable tourist destinations. In Galicia Destino Familiar we have the perfect accommodation to serve you as a point of operations during your visit: the four-star Hotel Iberik Augas Santas Balneario & Golf located in the Lugo town of Pantón and which offers all the comforts for the elderly and children of the home.

Ourense

We could say that she is the great unknown. It is the only one that does not have a sea but is still known for its waters, in this case, the hot springs. A good option to get to know them is to enjoy the thermal getaway that they propose to you from the Oca Villa de Allariz Hotel & SPA, a four-star establishment located in one of the most beautiful towns in all of Galicia: Allariz. Thanks to Galicia Family Destination you will be able to take advantage of the offer of free first child in bed and breakfast and second child with 50% discount in bed and breakfast.

You can complete your getaway by walking through the cobbled streets of Allariz, with an outlet with top brand stores scattered around the center of the town, entering the Galego do Xoguete Museum and walking along the autumnal promenade next to the Arnoia River. You can also go to the city of Ourense, located just 15 minutes by car, and spend the day there getting to know this charming city on the banks of the Miño. Very close to the city is also the town of Celanova; at the Celanova Hotel you will find family rooms and a children's menu designed especially for children.

If you like winter sports, the only mountain resort in Galicia is in the province of Ourense. At the Oca Nova Manzaneda you will have an establishment with family rooms, children's entertainment and babysitting service, perfect for spending a few days in the snow.

Pontevedra

The Atlantic province has a lot to offer, both on its coast and in its interior. The Rías Baixas are known for their beautiful beaches but the December long weekend is a perfect time to discover what else they have to offer. At the Bosque-Mar Hotel Spa in O Grove they offer you an incredible offer for this bridge with accommodation, breakfast and access to the free spa for children. Very close to this place there is a point that you cannot miss and in which we have several establishments: Sanxenxo.

If you travel with your pet, the Rodeiramar Apartments in Cangas can be a great option to stay with great offers. You can even hire the boat trip to Vigo (a journey of about 20 minutes) and visit its famous Christmas lights. Another option that we propose from Galicia Family Destination and Tee Travel is to travel part of the Camino by boat, thus discovering the Arousa estuary, from Vilagarcía to the town of Pontecesures. An offer to enjoy a different day with the family.

To complete the planning, we suggest you go to the interior of the province of Pontevedra; specifically to Soutelo de Montes. Here is the El Kiriko Nature Leisure Center, a fantastic place to spend a family day with activities recommended for everyone. Take advantage now of the advantages of Galicia Family Destination with discounts to spend an unforgettable day. If instead of the mountains, you prefer the sea, take the opportunity to sail to the Cíes Islands with the Naviera Nabia. Children under 12 years old travel for free!
