La Easter is one step away, and with how close the Carnivals have been, from which we have still recovered recently, we have little time to organize the trip for this next vacation. If there is something that we already need, especially in those areas where it rains more, it is a little bit of sun and heat, so today we are going to see 5 great destinations to enjoy the good weather at Easter.
Whether you want a low cost trip close to homeAs if you prefer to throw the house out the window and do one of those dream trips that you have always had in mind, you have great options. Take note of great destinations to have a good time in the sun, with some added entertainment, of course.
See Nazarenes in Seville
This is one of the plans that will always work, and it is that if you live Holy Week with devotion somewhere, it is in Seville, and it also usually accompanies good weather. If we go to Seville it is mandatory to see some of the multiple processions of brotherhoods or brotherhoods, made up of Nazarenes and the steps, which are the religious images carried by the bearers. You have to find out about the schedules and also the streets of passage to be there in advance, and if we are not especially devout, it is best to choose the widest streets, so as not to feel overwhelmed by excess people.
The processions are usually the vast majority between seven in the afternoon and two in the morning, so we will have time to see a few and also to enjoy the great monuments of this beautiful and sunny city. In the morning and part of the afternoon we can see the famous Giralda with the Cathedral, or the Real Alcázar. We will have a busy week of vacation, but it will be a unique experience.
Go bathing in Gran Canaria
If in Seville the main thing is the processions, in Gran Canaria we can also enjoy them, but here the best thing is to spend the day at the beach. During the day you can bathe and sunbathe catching an early tan that your colleagues will envy when you get back from work. Beaches such as Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés or Meloneras are highly recommended. Other things to do are go to the Cueva Pintada archaeological park, or take a walk through the Maspalomas Dunes Natural Reserve. If we go with children, the ideal is to stop by the Aqualand water park in Maspalomas, or go to Sioux City, a theme park dedicated to the American Wild West.
On the other hand, after so much entertainment, we also have the typical Holy Week processions, especially in the city of Las Palmas and at dusk. There are steps outings on the big days of Holy Week, with the Procession of the Mantillas or the Via Crucis del Silencio.
Exoticism in Marrakech
This is a destination that is not far from us, and that is totally different from what we can find here at Easter. If we have tired of processions and religious acts, in Marrakech we will evade all this and enjoy a warm climate. We can be amazed by the bustle of the Jamaa el Fna squareOr visit the beautiful Koutoubia Mosque or the Badi Palace. There are many places to discover Moroccan culture.
Beaches and temples in Thailand
Thailand is one of the most sought after destinations for its exoticism and for how much it can offer in terms of culture and natural spaces. It has beautiful beaches with transparent waters, like those of the krabi area, where Koh Phi Phi is, where 'The Beach' was filmed, and there are innumerable islands that can be visited with the help of traditional boats.
If we are looking for a more urban environment in which to discover how the modern and the traditional mix, you have the capital, Bangkok, where you can visit Buddhist temples and great palaces, while enjoying gastronomy and modern comforts.
Riviera Maya Vacations
If we are going to do things in a big way, why not plant ourselves in a place so sunny and full of beaches and resorts like the Riviera Maya. We will have sun and beach fully insured, and we will also be able to see the remains of the Mayan civilization.
Chichen Itza It is the best known Mayan city, and one of the seven wonders of the world. In this Mayan city we can find the Temple of the thousand columns or the Pyramid of Kukulkán. Tulum is also a must, a Mayan city that has the peculiarity of being on the shores of the Caribbean Sea. We will enjoy beaches with turquoise waters and history at the same time. Another place to visit is Puerto Aventuras, a port city with good beaches and with easy access to the famous Xel-Ha and Xcaret parks.
