April is one of the best months to discover Almería. With the arrival of spring, the city comes alive: the days are longer, the temperatures are pleasant, and everything invites you to go for a walk, enjoy the sea or immerse yourself in culture. If you're staying at Hotel Avenida Almería, you're in the perfect location to experience all the highlights this month has to offer. Here’s your guide to the most exciting events and activities in Almería this April.
Almería Half Marathon
On Sunday 6 April, the city turns into a huge celebration of sport with the 26th Almería Half Marathon. This must-see event features a brand-new course that includes a spectacular 3-kilometre stretch along the seafront promenade. Whether you're a runner or just enjoy a vibrant atmosphere, don't miss the parallel events running all weekend long: guided tours, beach warm-up sessions, and a lively post-race party with food, music and entertainment.
Culture and theatre for every taste
April is packed with cultural events for those who prefer theatre seats and the magic of the stage:
"Las que gritan" – Sunday 6 April at 7:00 PM, Auditorio Maestro Padilla
A brilliant and emotional comedy about family, reunion and shouting out to life. A perfect way to end the weekend with laughter and reflection.Edu Soto – “Más vale solo que ciento volando” – Saturday 26 April at 8:00 PM, Teatro Cervantes
A mix of stand-up, music, improvisation and laughter with one of Spain’s most versatile performers. A unique show in the heart of Almería.
Both venues are within walking distance or a short taxi ride from the hotel, making Hotel Avenida the perfect base for enjoying Almería’s cultural scene.
Holy Week in Almería – 13 to 20 April
Declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest, Holy Week in Almería is one of the most anticipated celebrations of the year. The processions wind through the historic centre, with the highlight being the official route along the Paseo de Almería, just a 10-minute walk from Hotel Avenida.
More than 15,000 cofrades (members of brotherhoods) fill the city with solemnity, emotion and artistry. Don’t miss special moments like the night-time Via Crucis of the Cristo del Perdón or the traditional “Encuentro” on Holy Thursday.
And of course, treat yourself to the typical Holy Week dishes: roscos, cod fritters, potaje, pestiños and papaviejos, among others. Many local restaurants near the hotel offer special menus for this occasion.
Gypsy Week – 8 to 10 April
This April marks 600 years since the arrival of the Roma people in the Iberian Peninsula, with commemorative events taking place from 8 to 10 April in various parts of the city. It’s a great opportunity to discover Roma history, music and culture, with public activities happening very close to the hotel.
Back to the sea: terraces and Zapillo beach
Spring also brings back the charm of seafront terraces. From Hotel Avenida, you can reach Zapillo Beach in just 10 minutes – ideal for a sunset walk, tapas with a view, or even your first swim of the year if the sun is shining.
Bars along the promenade are starting to fill up, and beach bars are preparing for the season – perfect for a relaxed lunch with a taste of the sea.
Spring in Almería: explore on foot
There’s no better month to explore Almería on foot than April. From the hotel, it’s easy to reach the historic centre, wander down charming streets like Calle de las Tiendas, or enjoy an afternoon shopping along the Paseo de Almería.
Mild temperatures and sunshine make even the simplest plans unforgettable.
