The start of Spring on the Costa del Sol

Semana Santa is one of the best times to be in Spain as the festivities held around Andalucia are breath-taking. It is a brightly coloured celebration of Spain’s culture and religion, it also heralds the start of Spring in this part of the world when those chiringuitos open and life flows into the coastal resorts after winter.

Semana Santa is a magical time in Spain and one of the most lavish and exuberant celebrations of the many fiestas held throughout the year.  The nazarenos in the parade cover their faces in shame and mourning for the sins committed throughout the year. Clowns and criminals are a manifestation of this shame and the residents behind those costumes are upholding a religious tradition that is an amazing sight to behold.
There are parades and festivities during holy week in most towns across the region, but the most popular places to see Semana Santa parades are Sevilla and Malaga. If you have never been in Spain during these festivities then put it on your to do list. It certainly is an experience you’ll never forget with thousands of people celebrating in the streets.

Spring on the Costa del Sol is simply beautiful. Warmth emanates throughout the day and into the early evening, nights become lighter and more lively and bars and restaurants become fuller particularly at weekends. Coastal resorts like Marbella, Estepona, Calahonda, Benalmadena and Mijas get a new breath of life into every aspect of them as holiday makers start the season. Beaches start to see swathes of people flocking to enjoy the balmy weather. This is the real Spain full of sunshine, laughter and outdoor living.

There are some truly amazing golf courses dotted around the Costa del Sol and although they attract players throughout the year these wonderful international hubs for fun and networking kick up a notch as Spring arrives.
