Yes, we know that the destination par excellence in Spain during Holy Week It is Seville, or failing that, one of the Andalusian cities, from Cádiz to Malaga. But if your thing is not the processions and the steps of Holy Week, you can always think of other alternatives to travel.
We give you a few ideas that can be used to organize a a few days trip through Spain at the last minute. In the worst case, if you can't get a plane or train ticket, you can take your car and take a road trip somewhere nearby.
Holy Week in Asturias
We recently told you about the best beaches in Asturias, and although we know that it will not be enough to put on a bathing suit, the beautiful natural landscapes of the coast and mountains that exist in Asturias are a good reason to take the car and get closer to this community . The Somiedo Natural Park or the Lakes of Covadonga in the Picos de Europa they will delight those who love trekking. Those who want to see small and cozy towns full of charm can go to the fishing village of Cudillero or Luarca. To learn a bit of history, near Ovieda are the famous churches of Santa Maríad el Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo, from Asturian pre-Romanesque. And if we want to try the gastronomy and enjoy a good atmosphere, we should not hesitate to go to Gijón.
Easter in Madrid
Madrid is another of those elections with which we know we will be very entertained. It is the capital and a place where there is always something to do, in addition to the typical visits when sightseeing. If we have never made a complete visit to Madrid, touch to see the Prado Museum, Retiro Park, the Puerta del Sol or the Royal Palace. However, we also have time to go shopping on Gran Vía, Fuencarral or Calle Preciados. Hopefully we will also find something to do on the cultural agenda, from concerts to theater or musicals.
Easter in Valencia
If we go to Valencia, with a bit of luck, we will find ourselves in good weather and we can finally get our spring-summer looks, something that in the rest of the Peninsula, and especially in the north and in the center, seems almost impossible. This city has the good that it is ideal for a short getaway, because we will have the feeling that we can see it in a short time and we will not have to leave important things to ourselves. The Torres de Quart, the City of Arts and Sciences, the Lonja de la Seda or the cathedral are essential places in the visit.
Easter in the Canary Islands
Well yes, if we have been lucky enough to get a cheap flight to the islands at Easter, something quite difficult if not done in advance, we can especially enjoy the good weather and from the beach in the Canary Islands. Whether we go to Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Tenerife, La Palma, Gomera or El Hierro, surely the weather is good. In this case, it is best to relax and enjoy the high temperatures and the sun.
Easter in Galicia
There are many people who come to Galicia at Easter, especially to Santiago de Compostela and doing the Camino de Santiago. If you have not considered living this wonderful experience, then you can simply land on the capital of Galicia to enjoy a visit to its beautiful cathedral, see the tomb of the Apostle and eat in the restaurants of the old town, tasting the typical and famous Galician cuisine. Near Santiago you will be able to see other interesting places, such as the coastal landscapes of the Rías Baixas, with the town of Cambados, where you can taste Albariño wine.
