Summer 2017 with Teens and Family
 
We´re looking to spend a 30 day vacations with my family (22,18 y 12 boys) as there are too many days I´m trying figure out what to do and were to go all this four weeks so we can visit as much as we can and spend the most quality time with the whole family…... It will be the first time in Europe for my little one and the two big ones had just visit a few places but as students in a Summer Camps, so we´ll like to take them to try a piece of each wonderful places so they can return later in the future. We´re thinking to have a little more fun than culture days as the three of them are quiet different ages . What would you suggest ? They LOVE sports, concerts, music and outdoors adventures.

<They LOVE sports, concerts, music and outdoors adventures.>

San Sebastián would be a very good option, some of the finest city beaches on the continent, swimming, surfing, a very active sports city, plenty of concert venues, outdoor concerts in summer, fabulous landscapes for hiking etc. etc. And the culinary capital of Spain if not all of Europe.

You might benefit enormously from consulting several good guidebooks -- perhaps one of the ones with lots of high quality photographs for inspiration: the <i>Michelin Green Guides</i> for good, solid information; ratings of key sites; and possible routes (even if you aren't planning to drive); and something like the <i>Rough Guide</i> or <i>Lonely Planet</i> for reasonably comprehensive coverage and good transportation information.

Enjoy your planning!
