The best thing about travelling around the Costa Blanca in April

Outside of the traditional holiday months, such as summer and Christmas, choosing a destination can be a challenge. At key times of the year, you already know the attractions each place has to offer and the traditions you can see in action. You already know that, in summer,  the Costa Blanca is home to some of the best beaches in Europe, and some of the best decorated cities at Christmas. But April is also a special time here, as we celebrate Holy Week. 

Plus, during the whole month, and in fact during the whole spring season, the weather is fantastic. That is why the Costa Blanca remains at the top of the tourist occupancy ranking in April. The good thing about the Mediterranean climate and the beach resorts is that spring is neither too hot nor too cold. The best thing about travelling around the Costa Blanca in April is that you can enjoy everything that summer has to offer and more, and it’s also much less crowded. 

Celebrate Easter 

Although it is celebrated in many countries as a Christian tradition, Holy week (the week leading up to Easter Sunday) is not as universal and well-known as Christmas. So let’s put it into context. Easter is the commemoration of the Passion of Christ, i.e. the death and resurrection of Jesus. The celebration lasts for exactly one week, the start of which changes every year according to the calendar of the Catholic Church. The most famous Easter traditions are the “pasos”, parades that recreate moments of the Passion. The origin is religious, but today it is also widely practised by agnostics and atheists as part of the Spanish tradition as a whole.  

Everyone who visits the Costa Blanca in April is impressed by the atmosphere and theatricality of the processions: the huge religious figures, carried by the men and women of the brotherhoods, and the live music… It is one of the best things about travelling around the Costa Blanca in April. If you come at this time, you can’t miss it! In addition, Spanish gastronomy has many traditions that are unique to Easter time. For some years now, Alicante has celebrated the “Cofrade” tapas route. So, as is the case at any time of the year, you can eat like nowhere else on the Costa Blanca in April.
