Things to do in Andalusia at Easter

Andalusia at Easter is synonymous with passion, processions, and tradition. Yes, but that's not all, if you are thinking about a getaway to Andalusia at this time and are looking to enjoy the destination in a different way, then pay careful attention as we are going to tell you about some of the destinations and activities not to be missed.

If you are looking for somewhere to enjoy the sunshine and the beach in Andalusia we recommend visiting beaches in Cádiz (Bolonia, Valdevaqueros, Zahara de los Atunes, Palmar), Málaga (Caleta de Maro, Burriana), Huelva (Islantilla, Cuesta Maneli, El Portil), Almería (Playa de los Muertos, Mónsul) and Granada (Salobreña) which are among the best in Spain.

However, if you are one of those who prefers an inland destination, you really should try a visit to the Alpujarra and the Sierra Nevada Nature Reserve (Granada), the Sierra de Cazorla (Jaén), or the Doñana National Park and Nature Reserve (Huelva, Seville and Cadiz).

Typical Andalusian Easter Cuisine

If there is something that tourists seem to like as much as the Andalusians themselves, it is the typical dishes that are prepared at Easter. These recipes have gone beyond their religious significance to become a popular custom and loved by everyone. 

You'll always find dishes like "potaje de vigilia" (cod, chickpeas, spinach and hard-boiled egg), cod fritters and sweets like "torrijas" (French toast), "pestiños" (honey fritters), doughnuts and rice pudding on the table of every family and restaurant in the region.

Each province and each town has its own specialities and the recipesare adapted to suit the tastes of each family. So if you want to enjoy a genuine experience we recommend you try the same dish in different places so you can see for yourself how this varied cuisine enhances the reputation of Andalusia as a tourist destination throughout the world.
