7 Excellent Reasons to Visit the Costa del Sol in April

Reasons to visit the Costa del Sol in April

The Costa del Sol is one of Spain’s most popular tourist destinations attracting visitors from all over the world. We all know that the busy Easter and Summer holiday periods are the most popular with hotels at full capacity and local businesses, bars and restaurants busier than ever.

But what about the quieter months of the year? This year, Easter is earlier than usual so most of April promises to be less frantic with kids back to school after the Easter Break. If you enjoy the gorgeous Spring weather but prefer a quieter and more relaxed vibe, then this is the perfect time to visit.

Couples or families with babies looking for a peaceful break in the sun will love it here in mid-April. And don’t forget that hotel rates are significantly lower than in the high summer season so that’s another great excuse to travel at this time of year.
