[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the feedback! I had thought about Seville, as it looks gorgeous and seems like a good size for a few days with kids, but there will be a religious festival going on the week before Easter and it was recommended to NOT go :/

I also had thought about Barcelona, but when I was doing my initial planning it seemed like it was not recommended to do both Madrid & Barcelona in 1 week...just too much.

My kids are seasoned travelers and are actually better behaved when it is just the 3 of us because they KNOW there is no one else to help, so my big kid takes it upon himself to be my helper (also reduces conflict between him and little bro).  The stroller helped too.  We went to London for a week last year just us and it was terrific.

My big kid loves museums and is very into history.  He's learning a lot about ancient civilizations this year.  My little guy does NOT love museums that aren't kid-focused, but does appreciate beautiful architecture and some art (he loved Sainte-Chapelle but only for like 10 min).  I'd like to visit some museums and spots that my big kid and myself will enjoy but not for long periods.

My kids absolutely love playgrounds and I love the ones that are fenced-in with cafes lol, so that's a priority too.

I will look into the Marabella!  I am open to staying in Madrid the whole time and just doing some day trips, but most of the train rides are just 2 hours so that's also fine.  We are trying to keep it affordable.  I don't usually struggle this much with planning but my mind has been so scattered![/quote]

Oh yeah, you don’t want to be in Sevilla during Holy Week. I did that without kids and it was still extremely intense.[/quote]
