Sierra Nevada(Spain)- having just come back from a ski/sun holiday (with a slight caveat regarding the weather....).
We flew to Malaga and actually stayed about 30 mins outside the ski resort which was far cheaper. The drive to the village (Gueja Sierra) was fine and there were 2 routes up to the ski resort of wither 25 mins (white knuckle!) or 40 mins (on main roads). But if you have saved up you may want to avoid the hassle and stay in resort.

The skiing was good, beginner friendly, quiet (even at what we were told was their busiest time ever) and the British Ski Center will do lessons, lift passes and help with equipment hire. We spent 5 days there and skied 3 out of 4 (the resort was closed on the last day due to high winds). We then drove down to Marbella (just over 2 hours) via the Alhambra and spent a week by the beach. The weather was a bit mixed, there were a couple of days of rain which is unusual according to the regulars/staff, but when the sun came out it was lovely and warm (although windy on a couple of days). If you look at the weather history for Marbella you will see it is often lovely in April.

You won't get the sun in Canada at that time. You'll get sight seeing, but rain is likely.
