After the rainy season in the Algarve, it is wonderful to look forward to spring there. For me personally, it is the best time of the year because it isn't too hot yet, nature is at its most beautiful, and the summer crowds are still far away. Tadaaaa!! Easter in the Algarve.
A holiday in the Algarve around Easter means blooming fields, pleasant temperatures, local traditions, and plenty of opportunities to be active outdoors.
In this blog, you can read all about the dates of Easter, how the Portuguese celebrate it, what to expect as a tourist, what activities you can do, and what the weather in the Algarve is usually like in April.
Easter falls on Sunday, April 5 in 2026. Good Friday is on April 3. This makes the Algarve a perfect destination for a sunny spring break in April 2026.
Important things to know for your Easter holiday in the Algarve:
- Good Friday is an official public holiday in Portugal.
- Easter Sunday is an important family day.
- Easter Monday is not a national holiday, but many Portuguese take the day off.
Many English, Dutch and Belgian school holidays fall around this time, making the Algarve a bit livelier than in the winter months, but still nowhere near as busy as during the summer holidays.
