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.
