SPRING
Is an ideal time to visit the central regions of Castile, Andalusia, the Mediterranean Coast, and the Balearic Islands. The climate is generally very good, but expect occasional rain.

SUMMER

Is a good season to visit the northern regions, especially the resorts along the Cantabrian coast, from Hondarribia on the French-Spanish border to La Guardia at the Portuguese-Spanish frontier. The medieval pilgrimage route of Santiago de Compostela is ideal at this time of year.

FALL

Is perhaps the best season of the year to visit the entire country. The climate is excellent, with sunny days and blue skies.

WINTER

Is a good time to visit the Mediterranean area along the Costa del Sol. The high mountain ranges in both the north and the south offer excellent conditions for winter sports.

The Canary Islands have a stable and pleasant climate all year round, and are an especially inviting winter destination.


WHAT TO PACK: In Spain, people dress differently according to the season, the place they are going to, and the circumstances. In the coast, because of the mild climate, it is usually not necessary to pack warm clothes; while in the interior, you should dress according to the season. In the interior of Spain, temperatures vary greatly from one season to the next, with very cold winters, and really hot summers. Locals don't dress up too much to go out, although of course, it depends on where you are going.
