Read moreThe best time to visit Spain is from March to May and September to October. From March to May, temperatures rise slowly from 54º to 63ºF, while through September and early October they vary between 63º and 70ºF, meaning days at the beach aren’t uncomfortably hot.
Sunshine isn’t the only reason for visiting Spain during these months. In the spring, all kinds of festivals and celebrations begin taking place – from Las Fallas in Valencia to Feria de Abril in Seville. In the fall, the Fiestas de Pilar extend over 3 days in Zaragoza, the regional capital of Aragon, while in the southern region of Andalucia, the Bienal de Flamenco alternates yearly between Seville and Malaga. September is also when Barcelona celebrates La Mercè—its largest street party of the year—and movie buffs are well taken care of too, thanks to the film festivals in Sitges and San Sebastián.
Elsewhere, nature lovers can observe the cherry blossoms of Valle del Jerte between mid-March and the beginning of May, as well as the grape harvest of La Rioja in September. Spring is also a popular time for religious events like Romería de la Virgen de la Cabeza near Jaén, as well as Semana Santa throughout the entire Andalucia region.

Monthly weather and travel tips for Spain
The first month of the year is a quiet one in Spain, so it’s ideal for those who dislike crowds and don’t mind colder weather. Temperatures can creep up to 61ºF in the warmest southern regions and drop below freezing in high-altitude areas like the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada. However, the chilly weather brings plenty of snow to these mountain ranges, where the ski resorts are in full swing by January. Unless you’re off to The Canaries, you’ll definitely need your warmest winter coat.
There’s also a few festive events going on in January, including Reyes Magos (Three Kings Day) on January 6 – Spain’s version of Christmas Day. The night before involves hundreds of people parading through the streets on large nativity-themed floats, guided by three wise men (often three lucky local council members) who lead an extraordinary candy-throwing frenzy. January is also a great time to take advantage of cheap flights and slashed prices during the post-Christmas sales, known locally as “las rebajas.”

Though it’s often the coldest month of the year in Spain, February isn’t short on reasons to visit – especially if you’re a festival-goer. Down in the city of Cádiz in Andalucia, the thrilling “Carnaval” involves two weeks of costumed processions, drawing thousands of revelers from across the country. The only party with a higher headcount is the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria carnival that’s held in Las Palmas with a different rainbow-colored theme each year.
However, it’s not all loud and flamboyant fiestas. Madrid hosts one of Europe’s biggest celebrations of contemporary art during the Feria Internacional de Arte Contempoáneao, while in the western region of Extremadura, birdwatchers gather to celebrate the arrival of many different species in Monfragüe National Park. There’s also a medieval-themed festival in the high-altitude town of Teruel in Aragon. But bundle up if you go, because temperatures here can drop lower than anywhere else in Spain during this chilly time of year.

With the arrival of spring, things start to warm up with each passing day until suddenly summer doesn’t seem so far away. In central and southern Spain, you can probably get away with wearing just a t-shirt in the afternoon as long as there’s no wind or clouds. You’ll want to keep it under a sweater if you’re visiting anywhere north of Madrid. Rainfall can be heavy and unpredictable all over Spain, so be sure to pack a raincoat.
March is also when two of Spain’s best-known cultural events take place. Down in Andalucia, The Festival de Jerez will already be underway in Jerez, showcasing the nation’s most talented flamenco performers in the birthplace and heartland of Spain’s most famous musical genre. But the main event has to be Valencia’s Las Fallas – an amazing festival of relentless drinking and dancing, incredible (and very loud) firework displays, live music, and satirical humor. It all culminates in a mass ritual burning of giant papier-mache effigies (known locally as “ninots”) in the streets – a spectacle you won’t want to miss.

In April, spring is in full swing, and on certain coastlines you can steal a few hours of sunbathing on the beach. With wildflowers in full bloom, it’s also a great time of year for exploring parks and more rural areas like the Valle del Jerte in northern Extremadura. Just bear in mind that the skies can open at any moment, so it’s definitely worth packing a raincoat.
Many people venture out to watch the candlelit Semana Santa parades that take place in cities across Andalucia and Castille-Leon. Dressed in multicolored hooded robes, the “brotherhoods” leading the parades each carry two statue-mounted floats from their church to the city’s cathedral and back again. Later in the month, Seville’s Feria de Abril sees locals donning their best flamenco dresses, riding on horseback, and dancing late into the night. Elsewhere, foodies are drawn to festivals like Mercat de Ram in the Catalan town of Vic, and the Feria del Queso (more cheese than you’ve ever seen) in the town of Trujillo, Extremadura.

By May, the Spanish countryside is blanketed in bright wildflowers and daytime temperatures begin to rise and stay above 68ºF. In coastal regions like Andalucia and Catalonia, that means the start of beach season – a great time to enjoy some sea and sand before the busier summer months, whereas inland destinations like Granada and Seville offer warm and sunny spring breaks.
Party season is also well underway in May. Take Madrid’s Fiesta de San Isidro for example – a week of near non-stop processions, bullfights, and live music honoring the Spanish capital’s patron saint. Besides that, you’ve got the Fiesta de los Patios de Córdoba (a rare chance to see Córdoba’s flower-strewn courtyards opened up), WOMAD music festival in Cáceres, and the legendary opening parties on the island of Ibiza – Spain’s undisputed clubbing capital. Pack your camera along with clothes suitable for warm and wet weather.

It’s the perfect time to be in Spain pretty much anywhere you are. Temperatures across the central and southern regions will be heating up, while the great green north will be much warmer and great for outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking. Leading from the French Pyrenees to Spain’s west coast, the Camino de Santiago walking trail is well-known and gets crowded in June. However, there are many other trails starting at various points around Spain that take walkers through a range of stunning landscapes on their way to the finish line in Santiago de Compostela.
June is also a great time to visit Spain because of all the different festivals going on. Corpus Christi celebrations take place in Toledo and many other towns, while Barcelona hosts two of the biggest rock, pop, and dance music festivals of the year with Sonar and Primavera Sound. This all comes before a spectacular finale on June 23, Noche de San Juan, when seaside towns across Spain light up with beach bonfires and fantastic firework displays.

There’s no denying that July is the busiest month for most destinations in Spain, which has its ups and downs depending on how you look at it. Going out at night, for example, you’ll have a wide choice of lively bars and restaurants. However, you might struggle to find an authentic Spanish atmosphere in the more tourist-friendly resorts of the Costa del Sol or Costa Blanca.
Needless to say, temperatures reach scorching highs by July, so you’ll need to pack plenty of sunscreen. It can be easy to forget the intensity of the heat when enjoying yourself at festivals like Festival Internacional de Benicàssim near Valencia, or the Festival de la Guitarra de Córdoba – a celebration of guitar music like flamenco, rock, blues, and beyond. And that’s not all. Pamplona’s world-famous San Fermín (running of the bulls) takes place over a week, while the Día de Santiago (Feast of St. James) is celebrated spectacularly in Santiago de Compostela on July 25.

In August, Spain’s beach resorts fill up with as many locals as tourists who are all determined to escape the searing heat (often +95°F) of inland cities like Seville, Córdoba, and Madrid. Even coastal destinations like Barcelona, Málaga, and Valencia can get too hot and humid to enjoy, which is why many take the chance to explore Spain’s cooler northwestern Atlantic coast. Here temperatures range from the sixties to the low eighties, and the sea breeze eases the heat on exceptionally hot days.
If the cooler weather isn’t tempting enough for you, then maybe the food will be. The region of Galicia is renown for its seafood—in particular, octopus—which is prominently featured on any tapas menu and even has its own dedicated festival (the Festa do Pulpo) held on the second Sunday of August in the small town of Carballiño. Down the road in Cambados, the 5-day Festa do Albariño celebrates Galicia's favorite fruity white wine, while the Fiesta de la Sidra Natural takes place in the neighboring and cider-loving region of Asturias during the fourth week of the month.
That said, you could choose to cool off in a very different way by joining in the tomato-throwing antics of La Tomatina held every August in the Valencian town of Buñol.

September brings a welcome break from the sizzling summer temperatures, which means places like Madrid and Seville are no longer too hot to handle. The coolest days in the northern regions tend to hover around the 63ºF, whereas the hottest days along the south coast can still get above 86ºF, so sunscreen is still an essential item to bring along.
This transitioning period is a great time to explore just about anywhere in Spain, and there’s plenty of festivals going on too. One not to miss is the Fiesta de San Mateo, held in the wine-making region of La Rioja during the third week of September in honor of the grape harvest. The regional capital, Logroño, is full of festivities, including the chance to crush grapes with your feet and (of course) plenty of world-class wine. Other events that may tempt you include San Sebastián’s two-week-long film festival, Barcelona’s epic Festes de la Mercè, and the Bienal de Flamenco – the most prestigious of flamenco festivals held alternately in Seville and Málaga.

Though summer may still seem a not-too-distant memory, it’s not long before the winter chill starts to bite in October. The telltale signs are numerous, from thick coats and long leather boots to the light-orange leaves cloaking the city squares. Towards the end of the month, temperatures average around the mid-50s in most parts of Spain, although you could probably sneak in a late beach trip to Mallorca or one of the other Balearic Islands where it’s about 20 degrees warmer.
However, the best way to experience autumn in Spain is to embrace the changing temperatures, whether that’s ambling through the glorious Andalusian countryside or surfing the high-rolling waters off the Atlantic coast (in which case, you’d better bring a wetsuit). To get off the beaten path, you could head to the Navarre region’s vibrant Irati Forest on the northeastern border with France, or keep the party going at Zaragoza’s Fiestas del Pilar. Spain’s National Day also occurs on October 12 and is celebrated all over the country.

With winter on the horizon, temperatures across Spain are cool and crisp during November, so it’s an ideal time to visit for those who prefer to avoid the heat. The deep autumn colors and bright blue skies create an entirely new natural environment that’s a joy to explore, especially in the rural areas of Andalucia. However, bear in mind that high-altitude areas in the north will be much colder and can even get snow towards the end of the month.
After a full summer calendar of festivals and fiestas, November is when things generally start to settle down. That said, the first day of the month is All Saints’ Day – a national holiday for remembering the dead and enjoying seasonal food. A few days later, sherry lovers celebrate their favorite drink in Jerez for International Sherry Week, while the locals of Potes—a small village near Santander—honor their traditional drink at the Festival de Orujo. You can also attend international jazz festivals in Granada and Madrid, where scheduled events last the entire month.

December’s chilly temperatures are redeemed by an array of Christmas markets up and down the country, from Bilbao and Barcelona to Madrid and Seville. They are treasure troves of traditional crafts, nativity scenes, and artisanal products like turrón and manchego cheese. Christmas Day itself is celebrated as a national holiday, though the major celebrations are reserved for January. New Year’s Eve is a much bigger party, when Spaniards attempt to eat 12 grapes (one for each chime) at the stroke of midnight.
On a regional level, there are fewer events than in other months, but Málaga’s spectacular Christmas lights have become something of an attraction, especially on the night they’re turned on along Calle Larios. Just down the road, the town of Torrox draws thousands to its annual Migas Festival – a celebration of “migas,” the region’s most traditional dish. For those who would rather spend winter on a beach, look no further than the subtropical Canary Islands where temperatures remain comfortably between 63º and 74º throughout the entire month.

When you think “Spain,” a scene of bright blue skies, white-sand beaches, and radiant sunshine probably springs to mind. That would be an accurate representation of the country in many areas, but Spain can actually be broken down into five climatic regions. First there’s the cool and humid climate of the Atlantic coast, home to cities like Santander and San Sebastián. Then you’ve got the vast dry areas of central Spain, including Madrid, Valladolid, and Zaragoza. Meanwhile, Mediterranean destinations like Barcelona, Valencia, and Alicante are mild and sunny in the spring and fall, while the mountainous landscapes of the Pyrenees and the Sierras can get very cold. Finally, southern Andalusian cities like Malaga and Almeria are much warmer during these times of the year – not to mention the Canary Islands, which are closer to Africa than mainland Spain and so experience tropical temperatures even in the winter.

CC is a small town developed originally from a bespoke holiday resort. It is quiet but with adequate facilities and connections to the rest of the island.
Stay in the south! I stayed in Los Cantares in the north. The beach was gorgeous but there was nothing to do but the beach. EVERYTHING is in the south in Maspalomas (a 90 min bus ride away).
Very nice city, with many things to discover. Easy to visit and to find golden spots where to eat. The Guggenheim is certainly worth a visit, but don't forget to get lost in the streets of Casco Viejo!
Valencia is a great vacation spot. Wonderful beaches with a ton of beach space. Great spanish foods. The old city that is so much fun to wander through. The amazing Turia Park from the old Turia riverbed. Finally, the Arts & Sciences Center and Aquarium is just so architecturally amazing and enjoyable. What a great city!
The location in the old city was easy to walk to historic sites.
I have been to Madrid many times and I love the city.
Pasamos un día en Zaragoza y sentimos que fue suficiente para conocer lo esencial de esta ciudad encantadora. Nos encantaron las personas, un pueblo alegre y acogedor, que hizo nuestra experiencia aún más especial. Zaragoza tiene un encanto único que nos dejó fascinados. Sin duda, un destino para recordar.
Plenty to do and see during our trip, old part of city, i.e Triana, cathedral, Christopher Columbus museum etc, well worth a visit, very interesting history to island, well worth exploring
Very nice town with a beautiful castle and church. Close to Sky resort Valdelinares.
Lovely place to wander around steeped in history, find a bar off the beaten track have wine and tapas and relax.
Great place as a base, very hilly so if infirm don't go! Great public transport links to Malaga Airport and surrounding areas. Take a trip into Malaga City and up the hills to Mijas.
Loved the area, spent 3 days on a trackday at the local circuit. Friendly and welcoming area, returning again soon!
While providing the beach, harbor, and historic experiences, it then captures your sole with the exceptional unigue food, served by people who are happy to make the experience special for you.
Much bigger than expected …lots of shopping outlets ..bars and restaurants
Vibrant and historic city to explore by foot, boat, bike, or bus!!! Excellent choices of restaurants and cafes!!! Historical and cultural Tours are fantastic!! So much to explore - each alley is a new adventure!!!
I loved everything about this magical charming place. It's history, people, cuisine, low prices, etc. Highly recommend it 👌
Malaga is a beautiful city on the sea with hills surrounding the town. Has the typical old church and castle as well as the ambience of Spain.
We love Madrid, the Prado, walking, eating. We have been there before, so we knew where we were going. We had to be there in August as we traveled to GB for a wedding and tagged on Madrid, as well as Paris and San Sebastian. I prefer it a bit cooler. we
Extremely touristy and crowded, but the sites are great and the small out-of-the-way streets are great.
A beautiful town with many terrific restaurants and cafes.
Very charming and interesting town. Perfect for wandering aimlessly through the winding streets. Highly recommend.
We travelled to Granada because of its history and were not disappointed. Alhambra, architecture, food, history, multicultural character and general vibrancy. Access best on foot.
Incredibly stunning visit to Dalt Vila!! I was traveling from New York to Paris and I flew to Ibiza just for 2 days and nights to see an artist's show I love at In-Between Ibiza gallery, which is in a stunning location!! Highly recommend visiting and also go to La Bodega for tapas. The best <3
Portals Nous experience was fantastic but the footpaths are so so dangerous ! For older folk it meant vigilance and extreme caution at all times !
Very much an ancient city, friendly people but absolutely jammed with tourists, can't imagine what it's like in high summer. Very interesting monuments. We enjoyed staying in the old town. The patios are very over rated and the tour involves a ridiculous amount of queuing for actually not a lot!
Great town! Perfect for walking and beautiful views. Very much enjoyed archaeological museums and sites, restaurants, and excellent shopping.
Our hotel's fabulous location in the middle of the old town made it perfect for exploring Córdoba...LOVED IT!
Lots of top cultural attractions, beautiful buildings, and museums, especially Patio de la Infanta, Aljafera Palace, Alma Mater Museum, La Seo Cathedral (with excellent tapestry museum). Old city has fantastic tapas neighborhood "El Tubo."
The Guggenheim is a must see. I also recommend taking a food tour while you’re there. The food and wine are incredible and very different from the food in other parts of Spain
Great food at Taberna A Filoxera, good sightseeing, pretty town
The town is fascinating and well worth a visit, but the hotel I stayed in, though adequate, was nothing special.
The hikes were stunning, especially the 3 waterfalls
Incredibly beautiful city. I never wanted to leave
Madrid is a WORLD-CLASS city! The mass transit system is maybe the best in the world (& very affordable) and the Garden House has easy access to all points in the city. And the food in Madrid was stupendous! What a magnificent and beautiful city with delightful people. We wanted to go see Real Madrid BUT it was crazy expensive so we went to the bullfights instead. We had a great time. It was kind of like going to the Opera!
lovely little town which is good for a long weekend loads of great restaurants and bars and a real relaxed vibe to it not massive amounts to see but good location for the coast and countryside
A busy city with much to do. Not overly expensive. Easy to stay busy with rental car and anlso easy to do a relaxed beach stay in one location (in one of the great beach communities outside of Palma).
The old town is incredible. All those beautiful churches, all those small streets with that gorgeous architecture. It's really mesmerizing. Unfortunately, there are too many stores and consumerism. And a lot of ice cream. The part with the new construction is practically nothing.
THE mosque and Cathedral are enthralling. \learn some history before your visit.
Leonardo Hotel Barcelona Las Ramblas was a great location and a very comfortable place to stay. We ate at a lovely little restaurant, Arume Restaurant (Carrer d'En Botella), with a great staff that made our meal memorable. Booking taxis ahead didn't seem to work. Several families were scrambling on the morning of departure because their pre-arranged taxi did not show and did not communicate they weren't coming. We did better with an Uber driver.
Cathedral was wonderful. Was surprised by the limited experience showed bt pilgrims. Was expecting something to celebrate the end of the Camino.
Fab City,Our Lady of the Pilar is just magnificent, a wonderful experience to touch the site where the Mother of God apperaeared to St James
Barcelona was my favorite part of Spain besides Santiago
Madrid is a beautiful city, easily walkable, with affordable food options and great museums and parks. It easily became one of my favorite cities in Europe. I will be back for sure.
The city has its own vibe, you may like it or not, but one thing for sure was exceptional: the food quality every where we went. Unbeatable!
It is well known that Barcelona is a beautiful city. Getting around is easy, particularly if you take hop on-hop off bus for asightseeing tour. My favourite spots are La Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Rambla de Pobleneu, Playa Bogatell, . . . Otherwise, the food and vines in the restaurants is great.
Such a lovely city! I love the overall pace and vibe. Lots of things to do and also lots of ways to relax. Great food. Great parks. Felt very safe. I stayed 5 days and would love to return soon!
We were not in Cordoba for very long, and certainly could have visited for longer. What a beautiful city, by day and at night (the Roman Bridge was an amazing experience to walk at night!). On our trip, we visited many cities and towns throughout Andalusia, and the Mezquita-Catedral of Cordoba stood out as one of the most beautiful, extraordinary places I have ever seen.
Viladecans is a great village. Accessible to everything like restaurant, groceries, mall and beaches.
We loved the general 'Feel' of the town, the atmosphere in the streets by day and at night, the generally very high quality of tapas and dinners everywhere we ate, the very genuine sense of spirituality (notably in the attendance and participation of church-goers) and, of course the wonderful buildings, including Gaudi's Capricio.
exellent and calm city , at 30min from Marbella and 1h from Malaga so you can visite all of them
Peaceful pleasent little town on the edge of the fantastic Delta del Ebro. Good place for birdwatching.
Madrid is a nice and active city full of people, this is the 3rd time i visit it. The thing i like is to walk around the shopping is great and i like a lot corte ingles. it was a very hot in august maybe its better to go earlier than summer or later .
A great place in the heart of the old city. The place has the vibe of old town and the convenience of a modern life.
We especially liked the beach, there are many small shops.
Beautiful room and facilities. Loved the comfy outdoor spaces out front. Kind, friendly, helpful owner. Highly recommend!
Loved that it's a very walkable city. Loved walking over to the city wall.
A great city to visit - especially the Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace - and good restaurants.
Exceedingly clean and stylish. Good location in town. Excellent private room.
Great place for sightseeing and experiencing history! Be careful with opening times when buying multiple tickets: be aware of the siesta which takes several hours. Some church related monuments close often earlier for entrance than advocated - this is a real pain.
Tarragona is a beautiful place to visit. Great historic sites, sea views, lively music and many restaurants to enjoy. We hope to visit again.
An amazing city! There are sudo-paella shops around the tourist areas, they have pictures of the food in the window- stay away from this trash, it's not Spanish. (notice no price in the picture so they can charge tourists more!) ALSO, if you like night life, BE CAREFUL of people putting drugs in your drink then will rob you when you're passed out. This happened to a friend of a friend.
Very comfortable close to shopping areas and very quiet and peaceful
A tranquil medieval town, 5-15 minute's drive from Emporada's many atractions.
Beautiful old city with incredible views. Do not drive in the town, just walk! Streets are narrow and diesel fumes are pervasive. Walking tours are fun. Lots of places to shop, eat, and just sit and watch people. Trails and roads up into the mountains are easily found. In 5 minutes you can be in the mountains with a stream, forest, and incredible views over the town. I love it here! The Hotel Ciudad is a great gathering place.
We traveled by car to Seville, Carmona, Aguilar de Frontera, Malaga. Ronda is our favorite. Charming, tranquil (in the morning), picturesque, good vibe.
Its a beautiful city. We have nice evening at rooftop bars, great shopping at Gran Via, and checked out art pieces in the museums. We enjoyed all the side trips from Madrid to Toledo, Avila and Segovia. We enjoyed all the great food in all these places like partridge, steak and Spanish suckling pig as specialties in these 3 neighboring cities.
This is a wonderful location that is quite enchanting. You are in the heart of a city that allows you to step back in time into a medieval world of splendor! Rich in history, scenic value, and artistic beauty is a definite must-see location.
Incredible place to see the windmills and the castle on the hill and to discover the history. But.... depending on the time of the year and the night of the week you may find no restaurants/cafes/food options open in town. Google maps advised services were open only to arrive and nothing was open. There are 2 supermarkets to pick up supplies so be prepared to cook your own food.
Beautiful, quiet, nice walks, outstanding views. The place slows & calms you down. Options for food are restricted.
Cozy place, nice restaurants, close public beach, friendly people., nice food stores, great pizza bar "Mascalzone", cozy places to have lunch& dinner.
This is a beautiful city! Wonder the streets and make sure you see all the facades around the old portion to include the shopping area. Note just how old this city is...Incredible history!
So much to see and do! History, Art, Theatre, Beaches, Food, World class shopping...something for everyone. Most shop keepers, hotel and museum employees speak English and are most helpful. Barcelona is very proud of their number one son, Antoni Gaudi. His work is not to be missed!
A very busy city, lots to see and do, and meant for the younger crowd.
The city was very walkable and the beach was very nice to walk along without having to get in the sand. Be careful to stow your valuables out of reach - I found that my backpack had been unzipped after a guy on a skateboard bumped into me then quickly skated away. Otherwise, the city seemed very safe.
Zaragoza is a beautiful and historic town. Wish we had more time to stay here longer.
Since they moved the traffic underground, Madrid is a clean, quiet, pedestrian paradise, especially for food and art lovers.
Marvelous historical center of 3 cultures, lots of everything in Christmas. Just beware, there is not a straight or level street in town, ADA does not exist here😁. Good and friendly eat in 10 Santo Tome, lovely foie and local treats
Just know that you are in a very small village/town. You are close to Zafra but not in Zafra. This place is actually much better because it's quaint. There is a bar here that opens at 8pm and it is great place to get burgers and beer. Ideal for one night.
Fantastic city with a nice combination of history and modern shops. Tour of the Alhambra is highly recommended (takes three hours, book tickets way in advance). Neighboring small towns like Soportujar and Pampaneira, are really worth visiting.
THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS WERE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS AND IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN I AM SURE THEY WOULD BE EXCITED TO SEE THE CHRISTMAS CHARACTERS AND THE CORTYLANDIA FANTASY DISPLAY IN FRONT OF THE CORTE INGLES DEPARTMENT STORE.
We’re not very nicely situated Beachtown with just the right amount of action. Hard to beat this little getaway.
Malaga is an amazing place for three days. We enjoyed walking in the port and the city center. You don’t need a bus or car as you can go everywhere by foot.
