The best time to visit Spain

The best time to visit Spain is determined in part by where you want to go in the country and in large part by your personal preferences. The best months to visit Spain, or at least most of the country, are March through early June and early September through mid-November. In a nutshell, spring and fall are the best time that you should remember. The reason is that the weather is pleasant at this time of year, and the country is less crowded with tourists.

The high season, which runs roughly from mid-June to the end of August, is when the most popular destinations in Spain become extremely crowded and hotel prices skyrocket. If you want perfect beach weather, however, the high season is still the best time to visit Spain. And because the north of Spain can be quite chilly in the spring and fall, you might want to put up with the crowds and higher prices just to get the best weather. In addition, winter sports enthusiasts should visit between January and March, though skiing in the Sierra Nevada is occasionally possible until early June!
