Is it crazy busy? Are accommodations hard to get and more expensive (Seville, Granada, Costa Del Sol)? Are major sites closed during holy week?
Also is it warm enough mid April to at least sit on a beach (Nerja area)?
Thanks!

I’m sure you can sit in the beach in Nerja, but it may be chilly and I doubt you’ll want to go into the water. Nobody can guess at this point what the temperature will be like next April.
Sevilla is very crowded during Holy Week and hotel prices are elevated. If you wanted to watch some processions with smaller crowds, consider going to a smaller location like Jerez de la Frontera. Most towns have processions.

If you are going the week before Easter, Holy Week, Samanta Santa, then yes busy and yes expensive and sites will be open but maybe not exactly when you want them to be. Consider yourself lucky to be there for Holy Week, it's amazing, a trip of a life-time amazing. Plan on NOT being dropped off right where your accommodations are as there may be a parade and the streets closed for the next two hours, expect it and roll with it. In April I swam in the ocean close to Nerja and went in the river, it was hot. One March trip it rained every other day and one March it was perfect weather, sit outside and have dinner perfect. Enjoy your trip! J
