Valencia and Málaga
The verdict for April
Comfortable spring days by the sea
+Comfortable temperatures + manageable crowds
–Occasional rain
April brings warmer days and a calmer atmosphere after Fallas. It is a strong month for walking the old town, cycling through Turia Gardens and enjoying Valencia’s outdoor cafés.
Spring at its liveliest
+Exceptional spring atmosphere
–Event dates can drive demand
April is warm, bright and increasingly ideal for outdoor exploring. Semana Santa can make the city exceptionally lively, while the rest of the month offers excellent conditions for walking and dining outside.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
