Let Them Discover the City Through Art While You Enjoy It at Your Own Pace

Barcelona is a city made of art, color, architecture, and creativity. It’s why so many international families, tourists, and digital nomads choose Barcelona for short stays, long visits, or seasonal breaks like February half-term, Easter, or early summer.
But traveling with children aged 6 to 10 often raises a real concern:
How do we enjoy Barcelona without overloading our kids — and ourselves?
Kids don’t need more sightseeing. They need space to be kids.
Long walks, museums, packed itineraries, and late meals can be exciting for adults…but for children, they often mean fatigue, stress, and meltdowns.
The most enjoyable family trips are built on balance:
Time for parents to enjoy the city as adults
Time to explore together as a family
Time just for children, doing things designed for their rhythm
A creative art camp that shows Barcelona from another perspective
At Little Makers Barcelona, our Art Camps for children aged 6–10 offer a different way to experience the city.
Spain is home to some of the world’s greatest artistic traditions, and through process-based art, children discover Barcelona from an artistic point of view — by creating, experimenting, and expressing ideas inspired by art, materials, and the city itself.
Instead of rushing from monument to monument, children:
Create meaningful artwork inspired by their surroundings
Take home a creative memory of Barcelona
Connect with the city in a calm, joyful way
Why this works so well for traveling families
✔ Children experience Barcelona through art
✔ Parents enjoy the city knowing kids are happy and cared for
✔ Bilingual camp: English & Spanish
✔ Small groups and personal attention
✔ A perfect balance between adult time, family time, and kid time
Many families tell us this is what truly allows them to make the most of their trip.
Our location: Gràcia, Barcelona
Our camps take place in the charming neighborhood of Gràcia — a vibrant, family-friendly area full of local life, plazas, and cafés.
Gràcia is well connected to all of Barcelona, making it easy to combine camp days with sightseeing, beach afternoons, or relaxed family evenings.
