Hi all - We’re looking at celebrating our 10 year anniversary in Spain next year, April 13-24, which would fall over Easter. We’ve been once before and visited Madrid, Segovia, Sevilla, and Granada. I absolutely want to spend 5 days in Barcelona. This leaves 5 days elsewhere. The best flights for us on these dates have us going in through Madrid and out through Barcelona.
I’m currently considering two options before our time in Barcelona. This time will fall directly during the Easter holiday and I’m wondering if we’d have any issues doing standard touristy stuff in either location?
First option - Mallorca. Spend time in Palma and the northern part of the island, and do some hiking. We’d fly here immediately from Madrid. I suppose Easter can’t cancel hiking so there’s always that. What’s Palma like during Easter?
Second option - spend a couple days in Toledo and then somewhere else. I’m interested in Zaragoza. Or a combination of pretty little places like Rupit, Peratallada, etc. It looks like Toledo typically has a lot of Easter related activites?
I’d definitely appreciate any insight you can give me. We could adjust our time to avoid Easter but then we’d miss celebrating our actual anniversary in Spain so that would be a bummer. Departing a week later means we’d be flying on our anniversary and that’s not how I really want to spend it…but in the end I don’t want to book a timeline that’s problematic, either. Thanks so much!
