Destinations for Easter 2026 | Getaways in Spain and Europe

Cabo de Gata is one of those places unlike any other. A natural park of volcanic origin where the landscape constantly changes: cliffs, salt flats, unspoiled coves, and marine beds unique in the Mediterranean.

During Easter, far from the summer heat, the environment shows its best version: clear light, mild temperatures, and beaches that still retain that sense of discovery. Exploring its villages —San José, Las Negras, Agua Amarga— is doing so at a different pace, among white houses, dirt roads, and open horizons.

A getaway where the plan is simple: move between coves, eat well, and let the landscape do the rest. To organize the route in detail, our Cabo de Gata travel guide gathers local recommendations, beaches, and routes to discover the natural park from within.

In spring, Amsterdam changes its tone. The canals reflect a softer light, the terraces fill up again, and blooming tulips appear in parks, markets, and around the city, marking the beginning of one of the best times to visit.

Beyond its iconic image, the city reveals itself by walking or cycling through neighborhoods such as Jordaan, Oud-West, or Grachtengordel, where design, art, and daily life coexist naturally. Every journey is part of the trip.

A perfect getaway for Easter 2026 if you are looking for a city, culture, and that touch of calm energy that defines Northern Europe in spring. To explore it in detail, our Amsterdam travel guide gathers local recommendations, museums, cafes, and canal-side strolls from a modern perspective, well-connected to the city.

Asturias is one of those destinations where the landscape dictates everything. Sea and mountains coexist within a few kilometers, creating a succession of cliffs, wild beaches, green valleys, and towns that maintain their own unique identity.

During Easter, when the north begins to open up to spring, the Asturian coast is particularly enjoyable: fewer crowds, changing light, and that feeling of being in a still authentic territory. Places like Llanes, Ribadesella, Lastres, or Cudillero allow you to explore the coast at a different pace, combining nature, gastronomy, and small detours that are always worthwhile.

A getaway designed for moving without rushing, stopping to look, and letting yourself be carried away by the surroundings. To organize your trip in detail, our Asturias travel guide brings together routes along the Green Coast, essential fishing villages, and local recommendations to discover the north from within.

Porto has a very particular way of staying with you. It's not immediate, but once you get into its rhythm, everything falls into place: cobblestone streets, worn facades, viewpoints over the Douro River, and a local life that is still very much present.

During Holy Week, the city is experienced with a calm energy, ideal for exploring neighborhoods like Ribeira, Cedofeita, or Miragaia, crossing the bridge to Vila Nova de Gaia, or simply letting yourself go among cafes, bookstores, and small shops.

For a change of perspective, Foz do Douro sets a different pace. Here the river meets the Atlantic, and the atmosphere becomes more open and residential. Staying at Flattered Apartments in Foz do Douro allows you to experience that part of the city calmly, facing the sea and with space to unwind after exploring Porto.

To organize your complete itinerary, our Porto travel guide brings together neighborhoods, routes, and local recommendations to discover the city from within.

Granada is a city of contrasts where history, culture, and daily life coexist naturally. Each route changes according to the neighborhood, the light, or the time of day.

The Alhambra is part of the imagination, but the journey continues in the Albaicín, Realejo, or Sacromonte, where the city becomes more intimate and nuances not always seen at first glance appear.

During Holy Week, Granada adds another layer: tradition, culture, and an atmosphere that transforms the city without losing its essence. Processions, streets full of life, and that feeling of experiencing something that is part of its identity.

To explore it in greater depth, our Granada travel guide brings together neighborhoods, history, and gastronomic recommendations to understand the city beyond its icons.

Bordeaux is a city best understood on foot. Classical architecture, open squares, and the Garonne River set a fluid pace where everything seems to effortlessly fit together.

In spring, the city comes alive: bustling terraces, active parks, and a culinary scene that invites you to stay. Neighborhoods like Chartrons or Saint-Pierre combine history and contemporary life with balance.

Beyond the city center, the Atlantic is very close. Escaping to Arcachon or Cap Ferret adds another dimension to the trip: salty air, open landscapes, and a sense of spaciousness that contrasts with the city.

To meticulously plan your getaway, our Bordeaux travel guide offers a tour of neighborhoods, gastronomy, and local plans to discover the city from a modern perspective.

Saint-Jean-de-Luz has a hard-to-find scale. Everything is close and everything makes sense: fishing port, traditional houses, market, and beach coexist without losing their identity.

It is a destination to be explored on foot, without the need for grand plans. Strolling by the sea, getting lost in quiet streets, or sitting down to eat facing the port are all part of the experience.

From here, getting around is easy. Biarritz, Guéthary, or Bayonne extend the trip with small nearby getaways that maintain the same aesthetic and cultural coherence.

To discover it in more depth, our Saint-Jean-de-Luz travel guide gathers local recommendations and routes to explore the French Basque Country from within.

Portofino is to be observed, walked through, and above all, felt. In spring, when the pace is still calmer, this corner of the Ligurian Riviera reveals itself as more intimate and authentic.

The route that begins in Santa Margherita Ligure, continues along coastal paths, and reaches San Fruttuoso, a small bay hidden between pine trees and clear water, is one of the recommendations of this regional Natural Park. In between, Portofino appears as what it truly is: a place to pause.

A getaway built from the everyday: where to sit and watch the sunset, which trattoria is worthwhile, which paths lead to viewpoints overlooking the Mediterranean.

Ideal for those looking to travel during Holy Week with an authentic Italian Mediterranean essence, combining sea, gastronomy, and landscape. To organize your trip in detail, our Portofino travel guide suggests routes, coves, and recommendations to discover Liguria from a more local perspective.

Empordà is not just the Costa Brava. Medieval stone villages, rural paths, and artisan workshops define an inland region where local life remains authentic.

Visiting places like Pals, Peratallada, or Colomers allows one to understand another way of traveling, more connected to the landscape, gastronomy, and the rhythm of the villages.

As you approach the sea, the environment changes. Begur, L'Escala, or the Camí de Ronda connect to a more rugged coast, where the Mediterranean appears between pine forests and coves.

You can extend this tour in our article about Empordà and the Costa Brava, where we explore the relationship between the interior and the coast in more detail.

To complete the experience, staying at Lohodi Homes allows you to experience Empordà from a place of calm: rural houses where design, light, and the natural environment create a true pause between country and sea.

Three islands, three rhythms, and the same feeling of getting away from it all.

The Canary Islands operate outside of the calendar. While the rest of the world changes seasons, here the climate remains stable and the landscape follows its own rhythm.

Lanzarote stands out for its volcanic identity: black lands, integrated architecture, and a very defined aesthetic. Tenerife North offers contrast with vegetation, trails, and historic towns. La Gomera, on the other hand, operates on a different scale: nature, silence, and routes that cross almost untouched landscapes.

Three distinct ways of experiencing the same destination, ideal for traveling during Easter Week without being dependent on the weather. To explore them in detail, our Canary Islands travel guides bring together routes, nature, and local recommendations from a leisurely perspective.

In Tenerife, staying at Punta Paradiso completes the experience: a beachfront space where design and natural surroundings coexist in harmony.
