Title: GA in March/April weather wise?
Post by: daminc on June 12, 2015, 11:55.

Hi all,

Our family first when to GA in 2008 and we absolutely loved it.  We stayed up by the Maxcoop by Don Pueblo and we had a fab week.

We're thinking about coming back for a week next year.  Checking prices and looks like the Easter week for us, 26th March-2nd April isn't too bad in terms of flight prices.  Also seen some very decent deals for apartments/villa's that for week too.

The only concern is the weather.  I wouldn't be expecting blazing sunshine but, could anyone give any guidance on what the weather would typically be like that time of year down in GA?  Checked the average temperatures but they don't necessarily tell you everything?  What could we expect for end of March/beginning of April?

Thanks in advance all!   :)

Mark

We came Easter just gone and sat round our pool and the weather was nice - too windy for beach but nice enough for shorts,  as it was the year before, but we have been out there at Easter when it rained the whole time. We gave it a miss for a couple of years for that reason.   Its hard to say tbh - I wld prefer May half term if I had to chose between them and pay the extra fare.

Totally agree with the above comments.  The end of Mar/beg April can be glorious during the day, but sometimes can be windy with some rain.  And the nights are still very chilly at that time of year.  :D

Depends what you want to do, if it is to have a chillax time, with a bit of sun, then it is an okay time to go, however (unless you are very hardy) you wouldn't be using the pools :-)

Definitely Joe. In 8 March/April visits, yes the weather has been changeable, but even when it rains I know where I'd rather be.

If I was on five weeks a year holiday I wouldn't gamble on the weather at that time of year in GA.
I'd postpone the holiday until May, a great month, or take a longer flight down to The Canaries

Regards all
