When to Go

The best time to visit Spain is from June to August in the high season, when the sun is shining in full force, the Iberian coast is brimming with life, and a cultural experience is most promising. The weather is hot and dry throughout the season, with an average temperature of 30°C. Temperatures climb up to 36°C at the heart of Andalusia while the sea breeze provides a refreshment around Barcelona. Pack light clothes and enough sunscreen if you are planning a trip to Spain in the summer. The lack of humidity will make walking tours in Spain’s world-famous attractions enjoyable.

Summer is also the best time to visit Spain for the ultimate cultural experience, as the entire country is under the magical influence of slow living. Party it out in the Spanish way, or enjoy serene evenings accompanied by the Spanish guitar.

Spring and Fall are also perfect times for the best places to visit in Spain. The weather is mildly warm and remains dry until December. Temperatures stay at comfortable levels in the mid-20s, making it leisurely to explore the historic cities and must-see sights with long walking tours. In early autumn, the entire country breathes life with the dynamism of the harvest season. It is when you will capture scenes of quintessential Spanish life. Visit Spain in spring or fall to avoid the crowds and make deeper connections with its authentic culture.
