we'd have 8.5 full days in Barcelona over easter late march, early april 2018. I have been to spain many times and lived in Madrid many moons ago. kids, 13 and 15, have never been to spain.

dh and I are more slow travelers but kids prefer to be busy. is this too much time for just Barcelona? the day trips don't seem to do much for my kids so wondering if I should combine Barcelona and somewhere else. kids not into museums-they liked some in paris but we did too many for their liking. dd loves to shop!

appreciate all feedback.

Why not see if you could arrange some Spanish language classes for them?

I think your question is an impossible one to answer -still too cool for beaches - make sure they have Wi-Fi access in hotel room

I think that may be too much time for just Barcelona. Have you considered showing them Madrid and where you used to live as well?

I think it is too much time in barcelona, you can easily see another city in that time. It isn't clear to me what they like to do. It sounds like they have little interest in traveling.
