Our Experts Say...
"Spain can be considered a year-round destination, with different regions better to visit at different times. As with most European destinations, it is best to avoid the biggest crowds in July and August. Additionally, temperatures in the inland and southern cities such as Madrid and Seville can reach over 100°F. The northern basque region which includes the foodie capital of San Sebastian is a great summer destination as the temperatures are milder than in the south. The popular Andalucia region is perfect in either the spring months of March-May or the fall months of September-November. Spain is also a wonderful country to experience the festiveness of the holidays where the cities of Barcelona, Madrid, Granada, Seville and more all have beautiful decorations and markets, plus some great New Year's Eve parties!"
