While seeking a location that genuinely harbors the pulsating energy and vibrant colors of spring, your quest ends in Spain. April is an especially festive time in this really scintillating country. The celebrations and traditions will set your senses on fire and leave you spellbound. Probably the most notable and iconic event is the Fеria dе Abril in Seville. It’s a whole week of feasting that boasts deep traditions and Andalusian culture in this city. With the sound of flamenco music and glowing costumes—since both residents and visitors like to dance and indulge in a joyful atmosphere—the streets seem to come alive.
You will have to see processions of very beautiful horses and riders, fancifully attired, parading about the premises. Festivals in Spain are indeed a treat for the senses. I will never forget how I danced with the locals in flamenco attire during the Fеria dе Abril in Sеville. This made me even more excited about tapas and sangria.
The Las Fallas Festival allows you to experience something unique and catchy in the Valencian region. Satire-filled sculptures and puppets, called “fallas,” paraded through the city streets during this time of year, from mid-March to April 19th. These intricate masterpieces went up in flames on the final night in an extraordinary display of fireworks and celebration—a tribute to ushering in spring.
Excluding festivals, April in Spain has quite a lot to offer in terms of exploration and indulging. Wander along the narrow alleys and vast squares of Barcelona, fawn over Gaudí’s architectural whimsies, and indulge in the finest of the city’s unparalleled food and wine scene. Alternatively, take a plunge into the sun-drenched beaches of Costa del Sol, where you can soak up the sun while savoring some of the finest seafood cuisine.
Usеful Tip: Throw yourself completely into the festivities, but do take some time to see the breathtakingly beautiful architecture and its museums, which give a better appreciation for Spain’s rich cultural heritage. Get into party mode, respecting the locals’ habits and customs. Save some energy and be ready for late nights—the Spanish really know how to party!
