When to go
A trip to Spain will almost always be wonderful. To avoid the crowds we recommend going either in Sparing (March to May) or in Autumn (September to October). Temperatures are still nice and moderate, but these months are not as crowded and accommodation and restaurants are affordable.

The high season in Spain is between June and August. At this time the temperature is high and all of Europe is on holiday. Hotels and restaurants are expensive and the crowds flock to major sights and beaches. Temperatures range from 28°C to 35°C at this time. Water temperatures average at 23°C during summer.
