Living in Catalunya
Living in Catalunya
From pregnancy through until the end of adolescence (and beyond), mums will always need support, advice and ideas when it comes to their children. We have been asking mums in Barcelona, Sitges, Sant Cugat, Maresme, Girona and Tarragona about their experiences with kids in all sorts of areas including education & services, activities & day-trips, where they shop, where they eat as well as their favourite beaches, parks & play-areas. Everything listed in these sections has been recommended by a local mum, many of whom have also added their comments. You can also read interviews by several mums about their experience of parenthood in Catalunya. Please pick your city on the left-hand menu - we hope you find it useful! or alternatively you can use our quick links family guide below
For up-to-date events in Barcelona and the rest of Catalunya please visit our Events in Catalunya section. This section is updated daily with family shows, theatre & concerts, carnivals and fiestas, child-friendly exhibitions, workshops and storytelling and cinema for kids.
For information on public healthcare in Catalunya and recommendations from local mums for Spanish medicine for your children, please do visit our Healthcare in Catalunya section. This section contains how to apply for health cards in Spain, how the Catalan health system and prescriptions work, children´s health, women´s health and recommendations from local mums for Spanish medicine for children
If you have any recommendations for any of our sections we would love to hear from you! Please do contact us
