Best time to visit Spain

Spain does not have a single best season. Its 16 destinations peak across 7 different months, which means an itinerary that moves around the country will be in the right season for some of it and the wrong one for the rest — worth building the route around.

Averaged across every destination listed, Spain is at its best in May, scoring 86 out of 100, with September close behind at 83. January is the weakest month nationally at 64. The workable window is wide — 5 months sit within eight points of the best — so a trip covering several of these places has room to move.

There is real variation inside Spain: 26 °C annually in Sevilla against 17 °C in Gasteiz / Vitoria. Rain splits the country further: Gasteiz / Vitoria sees 150 wet days a year against 36 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which is a different kind of trip rather than a slightly damper one.
