According to Staysure, the most popular destination for an Easter holiday is Spain, offering a drier and warmer climate during spring.
The company noted that one of the most significant reasons why Spain is so popular as a holiday destination is due to its variety, offering a mix of world-renowned city breaks, such as Barcelona, Madrid and Seville, and peaceful coastal towns on the Costa del Sol
However, the UK’s love of Spain goes beyond the mainland, with the Canary Islands coming in second place and the Balearic Islands ranking seventh, due to their near-constant sea views and attractive small towns and villages.
The study also found that more tourists are turning to Portugal for their Easter getaway, overtaking countries such as the United States, France and Italy.
Offering a similar climate to Spain, Portugal does not have the same variety of large cities, but has plenty of scenic beaches and peaceful towns in which tourists can soak up the local culture.
In addition, Portugal is one of the cheapest countries to visit in Europe, with hotels costing as little as £36 per night and a meal for two typically priced at £26.
