Spring in Spain is an ideal time for visitors to discover the country's cultural and natural riches. Temperatures are mild and days are sunny, particularly in Catalonia, Andalusia and the Costa Brava. This season is an excellent time to take part in emblematic events such as Semana Santa, the holy week that is one of Spain's most important festivals. The Feria de Abril in Seville livens up the streets with flamenco dancing and horse parades, while the Fiesta de Los Patios in Cordoba celebrates the magnificent courtyards in bloom under the sun.
Enjoy spectacularly colourful blooms at the Girona Flower Festival in spring. If you're a nature lover, go on a hike in the mountains to watch migrating birds in S'Albufera Natural Park. Where to go in March in Spain to reach great heights? Head to Mallorca for an unforgettable hot-air balloon ride to admire the spring landscapes. The pleasant weather in March to May makes spring the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors away from the heat.
The summer months in Spain are synonymous with festivities and relaxing on the beaches. Thanks to its warm weather and long summer days, plus the ideal water temperatures, Spain is the perfect sun destination for visitors. Summer is the perfect time for music lovers, when music festivals are in full swing in Ibiza from June to September. Barcelona lights up with the Festa Major de Gràcia, a local festival where every street is decked out with unique decorations.
In July and August, Mallorca's coves and the Costa Brava's seaside resorts are perfect for tasting fresh seafood on the beach and enjoying outdoor activities in the sun. For water sports fans, the summer months are the best time to visit Spain. The sea off the coast of Basque country has world-famous surfing and kitesurfing spots in summer, while the Balearic Islands are ideal for scuba diving under the sun. Villanovo is happy to recommend a villa with air conditioning to cool off in the peak heat season.
Autumn in Spain is marked by landscapes transformed by warm colours and a more peaceful atmosphere. Late September kicks off the wine harvest in La Rioja, a perfect opportunity to visit vineyards and take part in wine tastings and events. If you're craving pleasant weather with less crowds, September is the best month to travel.
In the fall, you can attend the Feria del Calamar on Ibiza, an island with only two seasons, or explore the Balearic Islands away from the summer crowds. At this time of year, the mild temperatures, minimal rainfall, and pleasant weather requires you to only pack a light jacket. For visitors, fall is a beautiful time of year for hikes - along the Costa del Sol in the south of the country or in central Spain - that reveal breathtaking autumn landscapes.
From January to March, Spain swaps its summer heat for a winter wonderland. Discover Barcelona in winter with its enchanting Christmas markets that serve warm drinks, and the festive illuminations in the central capital, Madrid. For winter sports fans, the Sierra Nevada mountains in the south of the country offer ski slopes, fireside tapas, and snow activities, while the Pyrenees in the northern regions are perfect for family getaways. For more ideas, check out our helpful guide for why to take a trip to Spain in the winter.
The museums in Madrid and Barcelona have fewer crowds at this time of year, making winter the best time to visit Spain when you want to discover Spanish art and culture at your leisure. Why not celebrate New Year's Eve in one of these iconic cities? The perfect time to join people from around the world in festivities.
