Spain in April is generally characterized by "spring awakening," with temperatures that are comfortable but not yet "summer hot." In Andalusia (Seville, Malaga), daytime highs often reach 20°C to 24°C (68°F to 75°F), making it perfect for sightseeing without the stifling heat of July. Central Spain, including Madrid, is slightly cooler, ranging from 12°C to 19°C (54°F to 66°F), and can be prone to "April showers." While the Mediterranean coast is sunny, the sea is usually still too cold for swimming for most people. If you are looking for a beach holiday, the Canary Islands are your best bet in April, as they maintain a "perpetual spring" with temperatures consistently in the low 20s Celsius.
