<\/p>\nEaster is approaching and many of us are making plans for the spring\u00a0break. With the weather getting warmer, the nights lighter and the buds of spring blossoming, this time of year\u00a0can be a great time to head abroad. Vintage Travel explores five reasons why Easter-time and a holiday overseas go hand in hand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Experience Easter in different cultures<\/strong><\/p>\n Like Christmas, Easter celebrations are unique to different nations and cultures. Travelling abroad during this time will enable you to experience another country\u2019s unique festivities and traditions.<\/p>\n For example, in Spain, Easter is known as \u2018Semana Santa\u2019 \u2013 \u2018Saint\u2019s Week\u2019 – during which the cities, towns and villages host their own reactions of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ \u2013 a truly different Easter experience.<\/p>\n Mild weather without being overly hot<\/strong><\/p>\n True, we can\u2019t guarantee the weather will be great, but by late March and April, many European countries are warming up to an agreeable temperature. The climate at this time of year is certainly cooler than the intensity of the summer, which for many, is welcomed when travelling abroad.<\/p>\n Enjoy less crowds<\/strong><\/p>\n Whilst Easter is a popular time to travel, as the weather isn\u2019t guaranteed, many holiday destinations are considerably quieter compared to the height of the summer. Consequently, beaches are emptier, it\u2019s easier to get a seat in a restaurant and attractions are less crowded.<\/p>\n Enjoy the beautiful springtime vistas<\/strong><\/p>\n From the poppy-doused meadows of Andaluc\u00eda to the lands of the Cote d\u2019Azur carpeted in lavender, the natural world has woken from its winter slumber at Easter and is starting to blossom, flourish and thrive. Consequently, the picturesque landscapes much of Europe is blessed with, are especially beautiful at this time of year. Just remember to take your camera with you!<\/p>\n Recharge your batteries<\/strong><\/p>\n Having got through the long slog of winter, heading abroad at this time of year, is perfect for recharging our batteries and keeping us going until our summer holiday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Easter is approaching and many of us are making plans for the spring\u00a0break.
