Sofia and Marc Vidal

Sofia and Marc Vidal are parents of two young children and live in Barcelona. They write about family trips from the point of view of a stroller, a nap schedule and a tight budget for snacks. They look at what a place is like at 8am and 5pm, not at noon: where the shade is, how far the nearest toilet is, whether the restaurant will bring bread before the meal. They like cities that work on foot, beaches with gentle entry, and apartments with a washing machine. They write for parents who want one honest answer about whether a trip will work with a three-year-old.
