Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time to go to Spain?
Spain is a big country with all sorts of weather, from really hot places to places where it snows. So, no matter when you go, there’s a perfect spot for your vacation, like the snowy Picos de Europa or the sunny Andalucia.
In January, Spain is calm and peaceful. While some high-altitude and northern areas can get chilly, the southern and Mediterranean regions enjoy a pleasant average temperature of around 18°C. Many people go to the warmest spots, like the Canary Islands and Andalucia, to hike and bike. It’s also a good time to visit cool cities like Barcelona, Granada, and Seville all while avoiding the crowds and keeping your wallet happily intact.
If you love skiing or snowboarding, January and February are the best months because there’s lots of snow in the mountains. It does snow a bit in December, especially up north, but usually not enough for the ski places to open until after Christmas.
When March comes, places like the Sierra Nevada and Spanish Pyrenees are still snowy. However, the rest of Spain is starting to warm up. Andalucia is enchanting, with the smell of orange blossoms in the air. People also do yoga and get fit in March. If you like being outside, you can go hiking in Andalucia, Catalonia, and Valencia and savoring tapas in the sunny weather. The Canary Islands are pretty sunny, too, with temperatures around 20°C.
The best weather graces Spain from April to May and September to October. In the middle of Spain and along the Mediterranean coast, the days are sunny and just right for taking easy walks and eating outside at cute terraces. It’s not too cold when it gets dark, which makes it all even better.
