While many people opt to visit Spain in the late spring (April–May) or early autumn (September–October), attracted by pleasant temperatures and lighter crowds, the country’s diverse offerings mean you can find something to enjoy at any time of year. Spain has a relatively mild climate, staying mostly dry year-round and with winter temperatures rarely dropping below 10°C (50°F). Summers can be quite hot, especially in the south and see a greater influx of European visitors heading to the popular beach resorts. While it can get cold and wet in the north during the winter, the south remains very pleasant. Equally, temperatures in the north make it a great option during the summer if you are worried about the heat.
Weather Month-By-Month
As the weather starts to warm up, the streets of Spain begin to buzz with more activity, though they aren’t as crowded as the summer months. Many people venture out for Semana Santa, Holy Week, to watch the parades that take to the streets. The warmer, but not overly hot, temperatures make it a very pleasant time to visit. The summer months can be hot and crowded and, like many other Europeans, Spaniards will flock to the coast to enjoy cooler weather and relax on the beach. Despite the heat, this time of year shouldn’t be avoided altogether. Buoyed by the longer days, Spaniards look for ways to unwind at night, so these months see a greater number of lively festivals and more evening revelry. Many festivities surround Spain’s food and wine and can be a real highlight of the summer.
