Spain is a country that lives and
breathes the good life from the timeless
villages and cities to the Mediterranean
coast but when is the best time to go
[Music]
Spain is as diverse as you can imagine
and its culture is just as captivating
as its landscapes from some of the
finest food and wine in the world
to fiestas and flamenco Spain is famous
for its passionate people vibrant energy
and extraordinary creativity the seasons
of Spain are quite distinct and due to
its varied landscapes and sheer size can
be felt quite differently around the
country spring is often touted as one of
the best times to experience Spain not
only is the weather sunny and warm but
not too hot it is also Fiesta season and
the locals come to life with
celebrations including Easter sir -
Santa Festival and Seville April Fair
Andalusia plays host to many of these
fiestas and the weather in Seville and
Granada averages 22 degrees in the
middle of spring Valencia on the coast
is just under that and enjoys its annual
orange blossom season during this time
the capital Madrid averages around 18
degrees in spring and Barcelona 19
degrees perfect for exploring the
colorful streets and amazing art and
architecture summer in Spain really
heats up the beaches are at their most
popular and siestas in the afternoon can
stretch for hours but when the midday
heat recedes Spain loves to come to life
again
and you can wine and dine your way long
into the balmy evenings Seville in
Spain's interior is one of the warmest
places to be in summer with an average
temperature of 35 degrees in July
mornings and evenings are the best time
to explore Granada is a little cooler
being in the foothills of the Sierra
Nevada mountains and averages around 27
degrees during this time beautiful for a
day discovering that Alejandra further
north Madrid averages around 32 degrees
in Barcelona 30 degrees assisted by its
location on the coast
and Valencia is in its peak season
thanks to its beaches and days the
average around 29 degrees in autumn the
crowds and the temperatures start to
cool down Spain's grape harvest begins
in autumn and in many regions this is
celebrated in true Spanish style with a
Fiesta in Seville the Alcazar and
picturesque Plaza de Espana are a
pleasure to explore in temperatures
around 26 degrees and likewise in
Granada in Madrid a stop at Retiro Park
the city's most famous park is a must
where the trees are awash with orange
and red leaves in pleasant nineteen
degree temperatures in Barcelona
discover all of gaudí's architectural
gems in a comfortable 22 degrees in
October and Valencia has also cooled
down to 24 degrees
Spain stereotypes don't generally
include snow but there is actually
plenty of it on Spain's mountains in
winter Andalusia still has plenty of
sunshine but throughout the country
winter definitely causes the
temperatures to dip overnight Seville
seems to barely know what cold is
averaging 16 degree temperatures in
winter and in Granada
people are still dining alfresco in 21
degrees but in Madrid people are
drinking their sangria indoors with
averages of around 10 degrees Barcelona
is slightly warmer with 13 degrees and
Valencia stays mild with 16 degrees
Spain is truly a feast for all senses
and most people who visit never want to
leave when will you go
