I believe the Easter break in Spanish schools consists of the days we know as Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. There are no very long school holidays except for summer when there is almost 3 months. So there are not many days left to have any other time.
In UK it is different this year in many areas as the schools are having just the Bank Holidays at Easter which is in March, and a 2 week holiday in April. This fooled a few flight and holiday companies who forgot to hike the prices at the right time for them.

I don't have school age kids but I think you will find that the schools close for the whole of Easter Week, so that would be 17 March to 21 March inclusive.
