Best time to visit Spain

Since Spain is a large country with different climatic conditions, the period when you are here will certainly influence the kind of holiday you will have. Generally, spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) are considered the best time to visit Spain.

During this time you have great weather, less crowds, good prices and lots of things to do! And because these periods are off-season, accommodations are generally cheaper, restaurants aren't crowded and you don't have to spend half the day in line for the next attraction.

July and August are the high season in Spain

High season in Spain is during the sunny summer months. July and August are the wettest, busiest and most expensive in the coastal areas, and the least crowded but uncomfortably hot and dusty inland.

It is actually best to visit the beaches in late spring/early summer (May or early June) or late summer (August to September, even October) to avoid the extreme heat.

So Spain can be terribly hot in the summer, winters can again be very cold inland (and very rainy on the coast), and spring and fall can be surprisingly cool.

However, no matter what date you visit Spain, you will not be disappointed. Year-round, there is great food, incredible museums, and a culture worth immersing yourself in.
