RealAdventures is a complete travel related website, designed to fulfill the travel requirements of all categories of travelers. It is quite different from the run of the mill travel agency sites that are found for a dime a dozen on the Internet. The concept of RealAdventures is to bring the travel providers to the customer, so they can pick and choose between the various services suited to their needs…

RealAdventures is available at RealAdventures.com. This is quite a comprehensive site which lists several travel providers, with their services extended all over the globe. As the site itself puts it, RealAdventures hosts travel providers with services extending from Alaska to Zimbabwe.

There are all kinds of travel organizers, from short-term weekend breaks to those who are looking to spend a whole season in one travel destination. The duration of the travel is not an impediment; RealAdventures is akin to a one-stop solution for all travel requirements.

The website has several featured vacations and accommodations on their home page itself. There are many options to choose from – one can select a relaxing apartment to live in next to a beach paradise, or may go for adventure sporting like kayaking and snorkeling. All such kinds of vacations are featured.

Vacationers can choose according to their preferences, and the selection is done through several tabs that are present on their home page. If the featured vacations and accommodations are not enough, then there are several advertisements which would take the vacationer to the home page of the travel organizing sites.

RealAdventures strongly emphasizes the fact that they are not travel agents. You cannot book any part of your travel through the site. But the site will certainly lead you to the links of the travel providers themselves, where you can make your reservations. However, RealAdventures does tell you of the newest exciting offers going on in the vacation market so that you can make your choice easier.

Another unique thing about RealAdventures is its travel forum section. This is a place where you can find out the hot tourist destinations currently, and you can make your choice. Also, this part contains several user comments, i.e. comments of people who have already used the services of travel organizers, which is always a very helpful thing in making a decision.

The site has a very easy selecting interface. There is a tab called ’style and spirit’ on the home page, where you can select the style of vacation you are looking out for. Choices range from honeymoon to spiritual vacations. There are also special options for students and women wishing to go on special vacations suited to their temperament.

In other words, RealAdventures is a mega portal of travel-related information. It can be categorized as a travel guide. But it is a very exhaustive guide that does show some of the best options for a vacation seeker.

Everyone knows that air travel with children can make your trip that much more fun and exciting – or that much more difficult. Many a holiday disaster can occur while traveling with (especially young) children.

However, although it is likely that your vacation will be somewhat more stressful with kids, there are things you can do to avoid a family holiday disaster and keep your vacation as stress-free as possible…

If you have a baby, try waiting until he or she is at least four months old and somewhat more established with feeding, changing, and sleeping routines. You likely will be feeding your infant every three to four hours with a long stretch at night rather than round the clock, which will make things much easier for you during a holiday. Waiting will also come in handy if you’re driving to your vacation destination – you won’t have to stop every hour to nurse and diaper change.

Avoid a toddler-related air travel disasters by planning sensibly and appropriately for the trip. Planning age-appropriate vacation activities, lots of things for them to do during the trip there and back, lots of snacks, time for naps during your holiday, and scoping out nearby washrooms for the newly potty-trained are all essential.

Pack along extra diapers and lots of changes of clothes in case there is a potty “emergency” and there’s no toilet in sight. If your trip involves any driving, plan to make plenty of stops along the way for washroom breaks.

Air travel disasters with older kids can be avoided simply by doing some advance homework about what the accommodations, restaurants, attractions and activities are really like and really involve. Also, look for places and things to see and do that are older-kid-friendly.

For example, choosing a regular hotel with a pool, snack machines, breakfast buffet with cereal, toast, and orange juice, private bathroom and a T.V. in the room works far better than a “quaint” bed and breakfast with no kids’ activities, canopy beds, breakable antiques everywhere, “fancy” breakfast foods, and shared bathrooms.

No matter how old your kids are (or if they range in age from six months to eight years old), follow these quick seven tips to avoid holiday disasters:

- pack well (lots of activities, snacks, diapers, and changes of clothes)
- research your destination thoroughly
- choose kid-friendly accommodations and activities
- think convenience over speed and even frugality for travel with kids
- travel at night if possible
- have a bathroom plan for all the young potty trainees in your family
- plan for less, and take it slow

A Malaga holiday overview would not be complete without exploring the rich history surrounding the region. There is also much to do within Malaga and all along the Costa del Sol. Tourists will not be disappointed in the museums, nightlife, shopping or any of the hotels and accommodations. It is truly a vacationer’s paradise in every sense of the word…

A Bit of History

Malaga, once occupied by the Moors, grew into one of the Iberian Peninsula’s trade centers. As a result, fortresses were erected that still stand as monuments of its historical triumph over invasion after it was conquered by Isabella and Ferdinand in 1487. However, because of its earlier occupation by the Romans, Greeks and Phoenicians, there is evidence in all of its oldest architecture which lends to the city’s charm.

How to Get There

Visitors to Malaga city can arrive by air via the Malaga airport which is less than 8 km from the city centre to the west. It is a busy airport which supports all of the travel to the Costa del Sol. Flights arrive and depart daily, servicing more than 60 major cities around the world. Main highways link major cities in the region and travel by bus or car from the airport is convenient.

Where to Stay

Once you reach Malaga, there are several choices in holiday accommodations. You can choose from villas, hotels, or apartments, depending on the length of your stay and your own personal preferences. Most are within walking distance to the cities major tourist spots and within a short drive of golf, hiking, restaurants and bars.

Eating Out

There is no shortage of choices when it comes to eating out in Malaga city. Some of the most famous tapas bars are located near Calle Nueva right in the centre of the action. These include Rincon de Mata, Taperia Siglo XX1, El Trasiego, and bohemian favourite, Taberna Rincon Chintas.

Must-See Sights

As with all of Europe, churches and cathedrals are major tourist destinations and Malaga city does not disappoint. The Cathedral, built between 1528 and 1782 was erected on a site once housing a mosque. Insufficient funding forced the Cathedral to limit its towers to one instead of the planned two.

The Castillo de Gibralfaro is a castle that is best known for the location of the siege by Ferdinand and Isabella which lasted three months. It is named as such because in the early 1300s it served as a lighthouse.

A well-known landmark, the Alcazba is a fortress where the city celebrated its first Catholic Mass following its siege by the Christians. Today, it houses a museum and beautiful gardens.

Malaga is the birthplace of the famous artist, Picasso. It is here that a museum paying tribute to his life and art is housed.

Shopping

Calle Marques de Larios is the main street for shopping in Malaga city. Be sure to bring plenty of money, because only the most exclusive of boutiques are located here. For more reasonable choices there is the Plaza de la Constitutcion. Also, small side alleys provide better bargains for souvenirs.

Nightlife

Musical bars are very popular among tourists and locals in Malaga city. Some offer all-night flamenco, jazz, and plenty of ‘people watching’. You can also find O’Neills Irish Pub along Calle Luis del Velazquez, which just shows how diverse this city can be. Musical theatre can be enjoyed at the Miguel Cervantes Municipal Theatre which features many well-known headliners.

No overview of Malaga holidays can do justice to the variety of sights and activities available. From the beach front shores just a short distance away to the rich cultural attractions downtown, Malaga City has something for everyone.
