Best time to visit Spain

Peak season (June to August): Expect warm to hot weather, especially in central and southern regions, with average temperatures around 25 to 30°C (77 to 86°F), busy beaches, and long daylight hours. Shoulder season (April to May, September to October): Milder temperatures around 18 to 24°C (64 to 75°F) make this a comfortable time for city sightseeing and coastal walks, with fewer crowds than in midsummer. Low season (November to March): Cooler conditions, typically 8 to 15°C (46 to 59°F) in many cities, bring quieter attractions and a more relaxed pace, though some coastal areas can feel breezy and mountain regions colder.
