Discover the other side of Holy Week on the Costa del Sol
Holy Week on the Costa del Sol is not only synonymous with tradition and religious fervor. While the
processions fill the streets of Málaga, Marbella, and San Pedro Alcántara with their imposing beauty,
this time of year also offers a perfect opportunity to discover other charms of the
region. From beach getaways to cultural and gastronomic tours, at Aqua Apartments we
propose alternative plans to make the most of these festive days.
Beaches and relaxation: The Mediterranean at your feet
April is an ideal month to enjoy the beaches of the Costa del Sol without the summer crowds.
The mild climate and bright sunshine invite you to stroll along the shore, have a drink at a beach bar, or
simply relax to the sound of the sea. Some must-see options are:
• La Malagueta Beach (Málaga): Perfect for a sunny day and tapas in its seafood restaurants.
• Cabopino Beach (Marbella): A paradise of crystal-clear waters and golden dunes.
• San Pedro Alcántara Beach: Quiet and family-friendly, ideal for unwinding with spectacular views.
Gastronomy is a fundamental part of Holy Week, and in Málaga, Marbella, and San Pedro
Alcántara, you can delight in typical seasonal dishes. Don’t miss:
• Cod in all its forms: pil-pil, Biscayan style, or with tomato sauce.
• Lenten stews: Traditionally made with chickpeas, spinach, and cod.
• Torrijas and pestiños: Traditional sweets that sweeten any day.
Walk through local markets and traditional restaurants to enjoy these flavors in the best atmosphere.
If you’re a culture lover, the Costa del Sol offers endless opportunities to explore its rich art and heritage. Some of the must-sees are:
• Málaga: Visit the Picasso Museum, the Centre Pompidou, and the majestic Alcazaba.
• Marbella: Explore its old town with its cobbled streets, charming plazas, and the
historic Moorish wall.
• San Pedro Alcántara: Discover the Paleochristian Basilica of Vega del Mar, an archaeological treasure by the sea.
For those who prefer adventure and connection with nature, the Costa del Sol offers spectacular options:
• Caminito del Rey: A hanging trail with stunning views of the Gaitanes gorge.
• Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park: Ideal for hiking through forests and mountains.
• Bike rides along the Paseo Marítimo: From Malaga to Marbella, you’ll enjoy unique views of the Mediterranean.
