Summer has something that no other season can achieve.: the feeling that time is stretched. The days are longer, The pace slows down and suddenly that space appears that is so hard to find during the rest of the year.. The question is not whether to make plans, It's which ones fit you best., with your family and with the desire you have to truly disconnect.
For those looking for the sea and total disconnection
You don't have to go far or plan every minute. A week on the coast with few obligations — towel, Water, good company — it is one of the simplest and most difficult plans to overcome. The sea has something that resets like little else.
Always wear sunscreen. The sea breeze makes you not notice the sun until it is already late.
If the bustle of the big beaches is not your thing, small coastal towns offer the best of both worlds: calm sea, walks through the old town and a sunset terrace that is worth everything.
July and August are the busiest months. Yes you can, move the dates one week and notice the difference.
For those who prefer the mountains and the outdoors
Summer is the perfect season to explore mountain routes that are inaccessible in winter.. The landscape changes, The days are long and the reward of reaching the top — or the shelter — is priceless..
The altitude is deceiving: the sun hits harder in the mountains than on the beach. Protector solar, yes or yes.
A rural house with a garden, without quality WiFi and with a town market ten minutes away. Sometimes the best summer plan is the one that is most similar to having no plan..
Ideal for families with children: safe environment, space to run and cool nights to sleep well.
For those who stay at home and take advantage of it anyway
You don't need to travel to have a good summer. Staying home and turning the neighborhood pool or deck into your home base has its own charm — and often turns out much better than expected..
The sun in the pool accumulates exposure without you noticing. Reapplying the protector every two hours is key.
A nearby town, a bike route, a picnic in the countryside. Single-day getaways have less logistics, zero packing stress and the same ability to create memories as a long trip.
Perfect for the weeks when the children are at home and the budget requires calm.
What should not be missing in any plan
Whatever summer you have chosen — beach, mountain, city or sofa with a fan — there are things that do not change: time with the people you love, moments without screens, the long dinners and the skin care that accompanies each day in the sun. Because enjoying yourself well also means reaching September feeling good.
This summer, whatever your plan is, you are not alone. Instituto Español has been accompanying Spanish families for decades in their daily moments — on the beach, in the pool, at home and on the road. With products designed for the whole family, for every skin type and every pace of life. This summer, as usual, Spanish Institute is one more of the family.
