The average temperature in Spain depends on where you are. Along the Mediterranean coast, you can expect mild winters around 10-15°C and hot summers up to 30-35°C. Inland cities like Madrid can swing more dramatically, with chilly winters and sizzling summers. Perfect for varied Spain trips all year round.

Many say Valencia has the best weather in Spain, with sunny Mediterranean days, hot summers around 30°C, and winters rarely dropping below 10°C. Seville is a haven for heat lovers, while Barca blends mild coastal winters with warm summers.

The best time to visit Spain is spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October). Expect warm, comfortable days, fewer crowds, and sunny skies. It’s prime season for city breaks in Barcelona, Madrid or Seville, as well as Spanish island hopping and Mediterranean tours with beach weather still in full swing.

July is usually the hottest month in Spain, especially in Seville and Madrid where highs soar to 35-40°C. On the Mediterranean coast, places like Valencia or Barcelona stay hot but breezier, making them popular summer Mediterranean travel destinations for sun, sea and seriously good fiestas.

January is the coldest month in Spain, with Madrid and inland areas dipping to 5-10°C. Coastal cities like Barcelona and Valencia stay milder, while Spain’s mountains bring a real winter chill (and even snow!). Don’t worry though, most Spanish weather reports show plenty of sunshine – even in winter.

Yes, Spain does have four distinct seasons, but the Spanish climate varies. Coastal cities enjoy mild winters and hot summers, while inland regions swing between cold, crisp winters and sizzling summers. Spring and autumn are sunny and comfortable – a perfect time for Mediterranean trips, tapas tours and cultural explorations.
