To help you decide these are the best activities for each time of the year in Spain:

1. Visiting Spain in Spring: april, may, June

Spring is when the weather starts to be great, sunny, smooth temperatures, not too hot… so it is perfect to visit small inland villages and cities like the Valle del Jerte and its Cheery Blossom, an amazing experience.

Three unique places in which you’ll be delighted with the incredible sceneries around you that you’ll never forget.

2. Travel to Spain in winter: January, February and March

If you are more into winter time, the Pyrenees can be the best destination to enjoy the winter sports

However, if you want to enjoy the heat in this time of the year, you can travel to the Canary islands, you’ll be greatly surprised.

If you are more into cities, Granada in Andalusia is a must. You may be lucky and see the awesome Alhambra while it snows. On February you can not miss Teruel and enjoy the celebrations to honor the most famous lovers of our geography, the lovers of Teruel. Madrid, Segovia or Cuenca may be other good options during these cold months.

3. Autumn: October, November and December

In Autumn almost any destination is a good choice though the ocher tones in some Natural Parks of our geography are a great option: Muniellos forest in Asturias, Ordesa National Park in Huesca, the Irati Forest in Navarre or the Aran Valley in Lleida. Pure nature that will amaze the most adventurous.

Also, to complete this autumn routes in pure nature, you cannot miss the delicious gastronomy. Nature and gastronomy, a winning mix.

4. Summer: July, August and September. Most common season to travel

Finally but not less important, the summer time is the preferred season by most of the people. If this is your case choose some place on the coast and you’ll hit it. In our geography you have hundreds of beaches and also several islands where to enjoy the good weather and the ambience in the beach.

Andalusia, Levante, the northern coast, the islands…. You choose the area you more like. No matter which one you choose, you’ll have a great summer time!!

Visit Spain matching your budget

This is something to take into account since depending on this asset you can be longer in an area and get to know more places around.

The worst months of the year are probably July and August. It is high season and prices increase considerably.

It is true it will also depend on where you want to go because if you choose to visit the mountains where there are ski resorts it will be low season and prices will be much better

Also special dates must be taken into consideration: Christmas, bank holidays like the Constitution Day, Hallowmas, Carnivals, San Valentine, etc… There’ll be a lot of tourists (local and foreign) so prices will also be high.

Travel to Spain and enjoy the journey accompanied

Another key factor is the kind of trip. Are you a solo traveler, travel with friends, in couple, with kids…? The destination and kind of trip will depend on this as well.

For instance, if you travel with kids, you should choose an easy route and adapted for them. It doesn’t mean you have to abandon your likes but adapt them and lower your expectations. For instance, if you plan to walk the Way of Saint James, there are some stretches that are easier to walk with kids. You can also choose a destination that all the family likes with activities for all ages.
