Hi! My husband, two kids (4, 6) and I are going to Europe later this month. We fly in and out of Barcelona. The first few days of our trip have been planned (3 nights in Collioure, 2 nights in Andorra), but we are at a loss for what to do for about 9 nights remaining. We will have a rental car and are seasoned travelers. We prefer small towns (e.g., loved Sarlat in France) and do not want to visit cities. We’ll be doing Airbnb likely.
Are there must-see small towns that aren’t dead in the winter?
We are not afraid to drive distances, but aren’t sure where to go. We like to hike/walk and castles/historic sites/museums are fun w/ the kids. We loved exploring the Dordogne region of France from Sarlat. Restaurants/etc not as important (prefer self-catering), but bakeries are of course a plus. :)
Any/all suggestions are welcomed.
