Waking up from the winter, the Costa Blanca comes to life in the early spring with festivals galore. Whether Easter is just finishing or about to be celebrated, there is plenty to do and see when viewing Spanish property for sale in April.
Holy Week leads up to Easter Sunday, and the Spanish take these deeply religious celebrations seriously, with processions commemorating the Passion of Christ and communion services in churches. Every town on the Costa Blanca will celebrate throughout the period, and those who buy property on the Costa Blanca will soon enjoy being part of their adopted town’s traditions.
This historical reenactment of the battles between the Moors and Christians for control of Spain is held in various towns throughout the year, but at the end of April every year, the coastal town of Villajoyosa holds its celebrations. For just over a week, the town travels back in time to battle for their country in remembrance of a battle that took place in 1538. The town also celebrates Santa Marta, whom they believe came to the town's aid by causing a flood to sweep enemy ships back out to sea and prevent the invasion. The festivities include re-enactments of the battles and processions through the streets with music and plenty of feasting. They also hold fun activities, including cooking competitions, and have fireworks displays and concerts. Whether you find a property for sale in Calpe or in Denia, Villajoyosa is just a short drive away.
Springtime is perfect for enjoying outdoor hobbies and the stunning scenery of the Costa Blanca, either on foot or by bicycle. There are pretty coastal paths passing by hidden coves and beaches or scenic mountain routes. The seawater in the Mediterranean is also warm enough in April to enjoy water sports including windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. If you buy a villa in Moraira, or any other coastal town on the Costa Blanca, there are plenty of facilities for people of all ages and experience levels to enjoy these pastimes.
April is a perfect time to get to know the Costa Blanca better. The spring temperatures are pleasant, and the coast is not yet crowded with tourists. Altea is a lovely town to explore with its beautiful blue-domed church located at the top of the hillside overlooking the Mediterranean. You can enjoy a pleasant drink in the church square and watch the world go by. Before it becomes busy with the Moors and Christians festivities, Villajoyosa is a pretty town worth visiting, but make sure you include a visit to its chocolate museum while you are there! It is also a great time of year to explore the sights of the nearby cities of Valencia and Alicante, whether you want to visit museums, historical buildings, the aquarium, or enjoy the shops, cafés, and restaurants.
This is the ideal time of year for families who buy property on the Costa Blanca to benefit from living in Spain. The local theme parks near Benidorm will be less busy than in the height of summer, so this is the perfect time to take your children on day trips at the weekends and enjoy the rides and entertainment without it being too hot and crowded.
Enjoy lunches with friends or perhaps go on a wine-tasting trip to one of the region's vineyards, pick up some local produce and crafts at the markets, and indulge yourself in all the benefits of living in Spain.
Living in Spain is a pleasure throughout the year, but the springtime is particularly pleasant. So, if you are looking for a villa for sale on the Costa Blanca, please do come and talk to our friendly Hamiltons Real Estate team.
