Visiting the square with kids

Why it works with kids

As it is an open public space with no general entry, you can come and go without timetables or tickets. The pier and the port front are usually attractive for the little ones.

The proximity of the Estación Puerto makes it easy to arrive and return without long journeys.

Children's interest usually centres on the movement of the port and on the open space to walk. Explaining in simple terms what the monument commemorates can turn the visit into an educational experience. Choosing quieter hours makes it easier to move around the plan with children. It also helps to carry water and to plan a place to rest halfway through the walk.

Safety and pace

There is traffic and crossings in the area, so it is worth keeping the kids close by the hand, especially near the roads and the edge of the pier.

The hills and the lifts involve slopes and stairs. With small kids, it may be better to stay on the plan and the port and save the hills for another visit.

With small children, it is worth limiting the route to short stretches and planning breaks. The plan and the port front are enough for an outing of a little over an hour. If the outing stretches out, the pier tends to be the point that holds children's attention most. It is worth reminding them to keep away from the edge and the roadways.
