Best Time to Visit

Weather

Spain enjoys a diverse climate, largely Mediterranean along the coasts with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Inland areas, particularly in the central plateau, experience more continental conditions with greater temperature extremes between summer and winter.

Best Months

April to June and September to October offer the most pleasant weather across much of Spain, with warm temperatures, lower humidity, and fewer crowds than the peak summer months.

Peak Season

July and August are the hottest months and the peak tourist season, especially in coastal resorts and major cities. Expect high temperatures, large crowds, and higher prices during this period.

Off Season

November to March is the off-season, characterized by cooler temperatures and potential rainfall, particularly in the north. While not ideal for beach holidays, it's a great time for city breaks, cultural exploration, and enjoying fewer tourists.
