The Vega Baja region came alive during the Easter festivities, with numerous families and groups of friends choosing to spend the day outdoors. Both pine forest areas and designated natural parks were popular destinations for enjoying local gastronomy, particularly the traditional 'mona', a sweet dough cake flavored with orange blossom water, with or without an egg.

The alternative to the countryside was the sea, and many coastal beaches, such as those in Guardamar del Segura, Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa, and Pilar de la Horadada, looked their best. Despite the cool water and an easterly wind that began to blow at midday, the radiant sun encouraged many to take their first dip of the season.

An example of the turnout was the Lo Albentosa natural area, near the Lagunas de Torrevieja y La Mata Natural Park, where the Torrevieja City Council authorized 1,300 camping requests. Other popular gathering spots included the pine forest of Guardamar del Segura, La Pilarica de Callosa de Segura, the Sierra de Benejúzar, Raiguero de Bonanza in Orihuela, and the Río Seco natural area in Pilar de la Horadada.

This rural outing, formerly known as "ir de gira" (going on a trip), is a natural continuation of the Easter Sunday processions that conclude Holy Week. The pine forest of La Mata lagoon, for instance, experienced a large influx of visitors, especially in the buffer zones and picnic routes within the natural park.
