Read moreThe best time to visit Spain is from March to May and September to October. From March to May, temperatures rise slowly from 12–17°C, while through September and early October they vary between 17–21°C, meaning days at the beach aren’t uncomfortably hot.
Sunshine isn’t the only reason for visiting Spain during these months. In spring, all kinds of festivals and celebrations begin taking place – from Las Fallas in Valencia to Feria de Abril in Seville. In autumn, the Fiestas de Pilar extend over three 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 also sees Barcelona celebrate La Mercè – its largest street party of the year – and movie fanatics are well taken care of too, thanks to dedicated 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, and 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, and Semana Santa throughout the whole Andalucia region.

Monthly weather and travel tips for Spain
The first month of the year is a quiet one in Spain, so ideal for those who dislike crowds and don’t mind colder weather. Temperatures can creep up to 16°C in the warmest southern regions, and drop below zero in high-altitude areas like the Pyrenees and the Sierra Nevada. However, such chilly weather brings plenty of snow to these mountain ranges, where by January the ski resorts are in full swing. So 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 6 January – 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 sweet-throwing frenzy. January is also a great time to take advantage of cheap flights and slashed prices in the post-Christmas sales, known locally as ‘las rebajas’.

Though often the coldest month of the year in Spain, February is not short on reasons to visit – especially if you’re a festivalgoer. Down in the city of Cádiz in Andalucia, the rip-roaringly fun ‘Carnaval’ involves two weeks of fancy-dress processions, drawing thousands of revellers from across the country. The only party with a higher headcount is the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria carnival – held in Las Palmas with a different rainbow-coloured theme each year.
It’s not all loud and flamboyant fiestas, however. Madrid plays host to one of Europe’s biggest celebrations of contemporary art in the Feria Internacional de Arte Contemporánea, 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, Aragon – but wrap up warm if you go, as temperatures here can drop lower than anywhere else in Spain at 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, so long as there’s no wind or clouds. But you’ll want to keep it hidden beneath your jumper if you’re visiting anywhere north of Madrid – and 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 astounding festival of relentless drinking and dancing, phenomenal (and very loud) firework displays, live music and satirical humour. 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. But be aware that the heavens can open at any moment, so it’s certainly worth packing a raincoat.
Many people venture out to watch the candlelit Semana Santa parades taking place in cities across Andalucia and Castille-Leon. Dressed in different-coloured 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 don their best flamenco dresses, ride on horseback and dance 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 before) 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 the 20°C mark. 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 make for 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 honouring 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. So pack your camera, along with clothes suited to warm and wet weather.

A glorious time to be in Spain, pretty much wherever you are. Temperatures across the central and southern regions will be hotting up, while the great green north will be much warmer and primed 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 becomes crowded in June. However, there are many other trails starting at various points around Spain, which 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 23 June, Noche de San Juan, when seaside towns across Spain are lit up with beach bonfires and fantastic firework displays.

There’s no denying that July is the busiest month for most destinations in Spain, to which there are upsides and downsides, depending on how you look at it. Going out at night, for instance, you’ll have a wide choice of lively bars and restaurants. But 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 have reached sizzling 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, from flamenco to 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 25 July.

In August, Spain’s beach resorts become jam-packed with as many locals as tourists – all determined to escape the searing heat (often +35°C) of inland cities like Seville, Córdoba and Madrid. Even coastal destinations like Barcelona, Málaga and Valencia can be 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 low twenties up to the low thirties, and the sea breeze tempers the heat on exceptionally hot days.
And if the cooler weather isn’t tempting enough for you, then maybe the food will. The region of Galicia is renowned for its seafood, not least octopus, which features heavily 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 five-day Festa do Albariño celebrates Galicia's favourite fruity white wine, while the Fiesta de la Sidra Natural takes place in the neighbouring and cider-loving region of Asturias during the fourth week of the month.
All that being 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 welcome respite from the sizzling summer temperatures, meaning places like Madrid and Seville are no longer too hot to handle. The coolest days in the northern regions tend to hover around the 17°C mark, whereas the hottest days along the south coast can still reach above 30°C – 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 are 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 honour of the grape harvest. The regional capital, Logroño, is awash with 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 during October. The telltale signs are numerous, from thick coats and long leather boots to the yellowy-orange leaves cloaking the city squares. Towards the end of the month, temperatures average around the mid-teens in most parts of Spain, although you could probably sneak a late beach holiday in Mallorca or one of the other Balearic Islands, where things are around ten degrees warmer.
However, the best way to experience autumn in Spain is to embrace the changing temperatures, whether that’s ambling through the glorious Andalucian countryside or surfing in the high-rolling waters off the Atlantic coast (in which case, you’d better bring a wetsuit). To get off the beaten track, 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 12 October, 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 like to avoid the heat. The deep autumn colours 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 see snowfall towards the end of the month.
After a chock-full summer calendar of festivals and fiestas, November is when things generally start to quieten down. That being 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 favourite tipple in Jerez for International Sherry Week, while the locals of Potes – a small village near Santander – honour 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, with Spaniards attempting to eat 12 grapes (one for every chime) when the clock strikes 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 are turned on along Calle Larios. Just down the road, the town of Torrox draws thousands for its annual Migas Festival – a celebration of ‘migas’, the region’s most typical dish. And for those who’d rather spend winter on a beach, look no further than the subtropical Canary Islands, where temperatures remain comfortably between 17–23°C throughout the entire month.

Think ‘Spain’ and a scene of bright blue skies, white-sand beaches and radiant sunshine most probably springs to mind. That would be an accurate representation of the country in many areas, but Spain can in fact be broken down into five climatic regions. Firstly, 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 spring and autumn, 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 at these times of year – not to mention The Canary Islands, which are closer to Africa than mainland Spain and so experience tropical temperatures even in winter.

Not touristy, felt like it was full of more locals, which we liked. Everyone very friendly.
I love the promenade on playa Blanca. So enjoyable to do long walks. Excellent restaurants and cafés in the rubicon marina. Also a great selection of restaurants along the promenade. My favourite place in lanzarote and I continue to return.
Great atmosphere, we were there at Crhistmas time, some bars, restaurants and shops closed. A lot of families, cool and chill people, caravans, dogs, people doing kite surfing and other water sports. Good bars and restaurants.
Have been here previously, a few years ago, but only for a day each time. First chance to walk the city properly. Much enjoyed, especially the bars serving 'tapas' meals. Being over the New Year many places (museums and restaurants) were closed which was a pity - but this justifies another visit as soon a possible! The places we did manage to visit were all interesting, and very reasonably priced - the only expensive place was the car parking, which is confusing to a visitor.
It is a beautiful city and is my favourite Spanish city, I live in Spain and travel to many towns and cities but Valencia is our favourite, it takes every box including beaches, parks, beautiful buildings and pleasant and helpful people, food very good too.
Прекрасный город. Красивый исторический центр. Хорошая кухня. Доброжелательные жители.
Really fascinating city I really recommend it, especially near to beaches
Nice old buildings and cobbled streets, only a small place we stop off on journey too and from ferry port..
Excellent base to tour Andalucía. there are some great museums such as the Museum of Malaga, that has a great Archaeology section.
Lovely place to stay with a lovely beach. You can also go hiking up the mountains. There are restaurants and amenities nearby.
Tapas in Casa Lola, Teatro Flamenco, Vermut & the train to Fuengirola were all highlights. Malaga is very walkable. The city bus tour is okay but probably not great value for money.
The place has a pleasant old part with a wonderful cathedral and lovely small tapas bars/restaurants.
Quiet, relaxing place. Very friendly and helpful host.
Lovely Islamic-era palace, though probably not as impressive as those further south, which I've yet to visit. Interesting Roman ruins. Views of old Zaragotha are great if you cross the bridge to the more modern half of the city. Not too touristy; some good and reasonably-priced cafes and restaurants and mouth-watering food market. Running out of things to do after than 2-3 days - though it's not a bad place to sit in a square and read.
A beautiful place well worth the visit. People were very friendly and there is a lot of amazing places to see. I enjoyed myself walking around and experiencing everything the city had to offer. I will return in the future
It is small village at the head of a valley.It is very quiet in the winter months though I think it could be busy in the summer especially weekends. The are three bars in the village that I noticed . I did not go because facilities at the hotel were more than adequate. There is a small shop near the Church There is a superb restaurant going further up the valley about three or four km at the col you cannot miss it there is no other road
Perfect place to stay overnight when walking the Camino
Charming town. Centre of town shops, bars and restaurants. Villa was lovely- easy walk to town and small food shops. Small supermarket also easy walking distance. Any questions we had dealt with quickly. Lovely villa and holiday
Morro Jable is a charming old fishing town where closer to the port, more locals live, while on the other side, along the white sandy beach, there are hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Morro Jable itself is a cool place; you can really feel a great vibe here. The beach bars are always full, yet the town itself has secluded streets where locals move about, enjoying cortados in small cafes.
very quiet despite it being Easter, spacious clean beach, not over commercial, nice selection of shops, bars and restaurants, great views of coast and mountains
It's a beautiful place.Its information office is very helpful.The guided tour was very informative.A great place to visit
Fabulous hotel, it was just a stopover for us as it was near to the airport. Would have liked the bar to have been open longer. Breakfast was amazing and not to be missed.
Great location for stop over on way to Santander from Portugal Knowledgeable receptionist Restaurant was closed but there was another close by
Best place called Palma in the entire city of...Palma.
Lots of lovely restaurants along the promenade in Figueratas and plenty of restaurants in Ibiza Town there are too many to recommend! Faves are La Toretta, La Bodega and La Brasa (lovely settting)
Fabulous city, so much to see. Lovely characterful streets to wander, with lots of interesting shops and plenty of restaurants and bars. There is also a main shopping area with all the usual shops which is pleasant to visit. The Mezquita was amazing and well worth a visit. Sadly we found the botanical gardens a bit run down.
Nice friendly hosts on arrival, large spacious and clean apartment, good location with sea view and walking distance to a beach. all cooking facilities provided, wouild definitly recommend
Beautiful city with loads to do for a mini break. Tip - pay just €10 to see horses practice rather than the nighttime ticket Excellent restaurant at Casa Finca and Bodegas Mezquita
This is an amazing resort which we have been too many times. There is so much to see and do and so easy to walk as it is flat. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants and very good bakeries. Transport is easy and cheap within the town and to other places. The beach is clean and sandy and stretches for miles. It is all kept in good order. The market on Tuesday is great for value but there are many good value shops. A great place for walking for retired people and the climate amazing.
Superb stop on way to Valencia from ferry in Bilbao lovely town with great service fab windmill and wonderful countryside
Noain is a great " suburb" of Pamplona. Bars, restaurants and supermarkets easily accessible. We got a take away and took it back to the hotel. The bar in the hotel is very good value for money. The airport is literally a stones throw away, you could walk it! But you're not disturbed by noise.
Beautiful city less busier than Barcelona and I honestly don’t know why it isn’t more popular. Beach is amazing with lots of restaurants along boulevard perfect for people watching. Great city centre for shopping! Lots of lovely traditional cafes and dining. Parks and children activities are great
Beautiful clean city with lovely gardens and a glorious beach walk.
Very relaxed vibe which the interior public spaces reflected. The staff were very efficient and friendly. The pool area was maintained well with good facilities. The outlook and scenery over the olive groves to the mountains was stunning.
I stayed on an extra day and night it was so charming and interesting whilst also being relaxing. Diverse vires, periods of history and fine trees and plantations made for real aesthetic highs. Excellent variety if restaurants and very clean. Sea views from port side and beach side are quite different in atmosphere whether under brooding skies or brilliant sunlight. Great for walking everywhere.
Advertise it more to guest, it is a fantastic venue, very vibrant, friendly, safe and sociable.
It just suits us. Great beaches, great bars, great restaurants
Tarragona is a lovely city steeped in history. The old town is well kept and there are lovely squares with restaurants, bars and shops to visit. The roman ruins are great to visit, especially the walls and the amphitheatre. The Cathedral is really worth a visit too. We were there for the festival of Sant Joan and enjoyed the fire parades ans human towers. There are plenty of sandy beaches nearby if you want a break from the city.
Los paisajes maravilloso, muchas excursiones preciosas muy accesibles
You have to visit Burgos cathedral. Although not the most impressive from the outside the inside is well worth a visit.
one of my favourite spanish cities , amazing architecture , vibrant night life , friendly locals and one of the best live music bars in Spain ,the rock and blues bar value for money hotels and great food
We absolutely loved Seville! Loved the historic centre and all the sites and loved the people! Would definitely recommend Seville as a place to visit! We spent 3 nights in Seville and it was great! Highly recommend booking a tour with entrance to Cathedral, Alcazar and Giralda to avoid lines. Also highly recommend Walking Tour of Seville! Don't miss Piazza de Espana! Breathtaking! Loved the tapas and the Paella. July and August is very hot and was 38 degrees....
Granada is a magical city. 10 days is long. 4-7 days is perfect.
Excellent for culture, food, drink, shopping, beach and weather
There were no problems, staff friendly, great breakfast.
Great food, great place for walking, very quiet and safe
Great city, lots to do. Beautiful art and restaurants, interesting history and architecture. Completely recommend.
Lovely town large clean beach, with lots of space Good restaurants Go to the chocolate museum Go to the Valor Cafe
Malaga is one of our favourite holiday destinations. No matter what time of year it is there is plenty in this vibrant city to do. The food is inexpensive and varied. We just love it here. Great climate, fantastic food and a lovely long beach for walking. We would not hesitate to recommend. A car is not necessary.
Báscara is a very authentic view into a different culture. The people are friendly and welcoming and one feels very much at home here. Great for long walks and you feel very safe and relaxed and comfortable. It all depends on what you are looking for in your holiday. For us it was a perfect respite in between 2 other busy locations.
lovely laid back vibe traffic is easy aquarium is amazing
Tapas at local restaurants Alcazar palace and Catherine Beautiful architecture
Clear water beach and many other amazing beaches nearby.
Beautiful, cozy town surrounded by beautiful nature
A short overnight but very comfortable and food was excellent easy access from motorway
Love the fact that you can have it quiet or noisy plenty places to eat, cheap and places to have a restaurant meal. More entertainment than you could possible want and all for free. Beautiful beaches. Easy to visit neighbouring places, by bus and it only costs. 1.60 euros however far you travel on the local buses. Can visit Alicante on the tram, no. 1 bus to the station and then approx 45 mins along the coast to Alicante get a left hand seat for the best views.
We were delighted with the regional Basque food and the sea food, and the quality of the local restaurants. Easy to walk around the town and beach. Out of season, it was very authentic, and there were few tourists.
as a family we have visited several times and will continue to keep returning.
Centre is compact and easily walkable, with boat trips from the promenade. There is a bus tour that helps you orient yourself, and three large beaches, plus churches, a martime museum, an art gallery and some traditional restaurants. A decent venue for a short break.
great location dog friendly lovely staff great facilities,very popular location with coach parties and tourists.
Really attractive and interesting town. It has a well deserved reputation for food but it was much more than that. Certainly worth a long weekend
Excellent climate. Good place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Plenty of options for eating out.
The city has plenty of experiences and places to enjoy! I would like to return. People are nice but not smooth in communicating in a kind way. Very rushing on get rid of what they are doing while talking to you.
This a great place to get to know Spain before going to Madrid, enjoy the sunsets, walking around and also for visiting other places like Barcelona, Huesca and Madrid it self since there are high speed trains available.
A place to enjoy the wind, the sun and the locals hospitality
Really large city, great food options, enjoy walking by the beach and at night.
Madrid is a wide city with lots of tradition and monarchy heritage, nice buildings and places to eat, see , relax and stay calm but you can also party at night.
Loved it, great city break weather was great in December, lovely winter sun.
Great for a city break, fantastic city, lots to see and walk to. We did a day trip to Granada, which was brilliant. Book the most popular excursions in advance. I would have loved to have gone when the oranges were ripe to see the great colours!
This is a fantastic historical city to visit and relax. The old town is just incredible and offers a fabulous selection of restaurants to make your mouth melt with traditional Spanish food. Seating at plaza mayor in the middle of the day or just at the end for the sunset is a pleasant experience.
Seville is a fantastic city. With a 1001 things to admire.
The town is clean and obviously loved by its residents The people are brilliant. Have met locals and officials and they can't do enough to help.
The capital was smaller than I was expecting but was a good base for exploring the island.
I really like Playa de las Americas and I recommend it to others.
Beautiful, safe and very clean city. Friendly and nice people. Excellent food at good prices
The Old Town was beautiful. People are friendly. Went to Luca’s City Bar twice! The food was great! It was easy to walk everywhere and great for families even very late at night
Close to bus stops and convenience shops and bar/restaurants
Vibrant atmosphere full of options for food and shops. Also cultural variety and convenient city
We love Torremolinas, we've been visiting for many years. Our only problem was the apartment and the very difficult accessibility ♿
Good boat trips at reasonable prices are available. The port is full of interest. The town has a nice relaxed atmosphere, no one tries to drag you into their restaurant or sell you a time-share. Taxis are always available.
Loved the old town and the beaches are amazing. Would recommend tapas alley.
This apartment is not in Villajoyosa, it is in Cala de Finestrat. I understood this when making the booking and was delighted with what a vibrant beach cove setting I was staying in and the ease of using public transport, including the hop on - hop off sight seeing bus, to get to Benidorm. Excellent venues for breakfast, lunch and evening meal/drinks, although a number were closing from 10th Dec into mid January.
