Easter in Corralejo
Spanish families arrive en masse. Weather is perfect. Prices peak. Here's how to plan around it.
Easter (Semana Santa) is Spain's spring break — Spanish families pour into the Canaries for a week of guaranteed sun. Corralejo doubles in population. Booking strategy matters more than usual.
When exactly
Easter dates change yearly. 2026: April 5 Easter Sunday, peak week is March 30 – April 6. 2027: March 28. Plan around school holidays of your country plus Spanish Semana Santa for the absolute peak.
Weather
Air 19–24°C, sea 19°C. Sun 8 hours daily. Almost no rain. This is genuinely the best weather of the year — warmer than winter, less wind than summer.
Crowds and prices
Hotels run 95%+ occupancy. Prices 40–80% above October baseline. Restaurants need reservations (especially Friday and Saturday). The dunes are still big enough to absorb everyone — beaches feel full but not crowded.
How to handle it
If you can flex dates: the week BEFORE Easter (Palm Sunday week) is much quieter and same weather. The week AFTER Easter prices drop 30% overnight. If you must travel Holy Week: book 4–5 months ahead, pre-book restaurants, take direct flights.
