Easter holidays have already finished in many parts of Spain, but not everywhere. The Valencian Community is one of the few regions where students and teachers enjoy an extra week of Easter holidays.
This makes Valencia the perfect destination for a family getaway in April, with pleasant weather, fewer crowds and plenty of activities for children.
At Museo Iluziona we explain why this extra holiday week is a great opportunity to visit the city and enjoy cultural and family-friendly plans.
Students and teachers in Valencia enjoy an additional holiday period due to the regional celebration of Saint Vincent Ferrer.
The Monday following Easter Monday is a public holiday dedicated to the patron saint of the Valencian Community. This holiday extends the school break for several extra days after Holy Week.
In 2026 this holiday will take place on Monday, April 13.
During this period, Plaza de la Reina hosts a craft market where visitors can discover handmade products, traditional toys and local items.
Some stalls organise workshops where children can create their own crafts and take home a unique souvenir.
The Kite Festival returns on April 12 at Cabanyal Beach. The event includes free activities such as kite-making workshops, flying areas and demonstrations by professionals.
It is a perfect family plan to enjoy the seaside while watching the sky fill with colourful kites.
Museo Iluziona offers an interactive experience where visitors can discover the history and culture of Valencia in a fun and engaging way.
Its immersive scenarios and virtual reality experiences make it an ideal activity for families visiting Valencia during Easter.
