Things to do with kids in the Segrià: a family getaway to a rural house

25 October 20262 min read

Kids don’t need big theme parks to have a great time: a garden to run around in, a path to explore, a strange-looking stone and a sky full of stars can make the best weekend of the year. The Segrià and Les Garrigues are a perfect area to discover as a family.

At Cal Xolva, in Llardecans, you’ll have a whole house for the family, with space to play indoors and out.

5 things to do with kids near Llardecans

1. Be Iberians for a day

The Els Vilars fortress in Arbeca has walls, towers, a moat and a field of upright stones to stop attackers. It’s history you can touch, ideal for curious kids.

2. Hunt for dry-stone huts

The vaulted huts route can become a game: who can find the most? Stepping inside a centuries-old stone hut is a real adventure.

3. See the fields in bloom

In March, the Aitona blossom paints the fields pink. Kids love walking between rows of peach trees in flower.

4. A night of stars

With very little light pollution, clear nights in Llardecans are perfect for lying on the terrace and looking for constellations. Here are some dates to mark on your calendar.

5. A day in Lleida

Climb up to the Seu Vella, run around the Camps Elisis park and stroll along the Segre. You’ll find more ideas in our guide on what to do in Lleida.

And at the house

  • Play in the garden and on the terrace.
  • Have a barbecue or a family calçotada.
  • Afternoons of board games in the living room.
  • Help with the cooking: bread with tomato and local olive oil is always a hit.
