Do they stay in your home when they come for a visit? Perhaps you could suggest them staying in a nearby motel or B&B and ask that you all plan some activities ahead for you all to do together and that they do some things on their own as well so you can still get done what you need to do.
This is the 2nd time they stay in our place. My father-in-law has stayed more often but he's easy. The other times they stayed at hotels but still stayed in our flat until it was bedtime.

As for activities we did that for the past two years: disaster. We all ended up drained. They seem indifferent to everything. Took them on a trip to Seville and they were oblivious to the beauty around them. Only cheered up to the sight of McDonalds.

hey're on vacation, so it's understandable to me that if they came the distance to see you, they'd want to get as much time in as possible. They most likely aren't trying to torture you for a week, even if it feels that way!
Yes...I am sure they're not. But it sure feels that way
