Easter is one of the most desired times of the year for travelers, even more than the summer holidays. And, what are the most sought-after destinations this year, already free of pandemic? If we focus on the nearby, within our borders, both the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands occupy the first positions.

When it comes to putting land in between within Europe, Paris, London and Rome are the three most coveted. This is revealed by a study by Kayak.es, the world's leading travel search engine, which also indicates that there has been an increase of around 21% in searches on the Internet compared to the same period last year.

Rome, the Eternal City.

In the national territory, the investigations of the Spaniards reveal the preference for beach destinations where they can enjoy summer temperatures in the middle of spring. Therefore, Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the most desired national destination, followed by Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Palma de Mallorca. All of them have experienced an increase in their searches compared to Easter 2022 of around 3%, 15% and 16%, respectively.
