We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
The chance that a given day will be muggy in Fuerteventura is increasing during May, rising from 2% to 8% over the course of the month.
For reference, on August 31, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 71% of the time, while on January 13, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 1% of the time.

Fuerteventura Beach for May
Las Agujas Beach
Las Agujas Beach is located in the north of Fuerteventura in Corralejo, just where the sand dunes begin. This beach is 700m long and 20m wide, providing plenty of room for adults to relax and children to play. The golden sand here is course and heavy, whilst the sea is very clean with a smooth and moderate surge which makes it perfect for swimming in.
Whilst the wind can get very blustery around the coast of Corralejo (with gusts of between 20kts and 35kts) these usually happen between 6pm and 9am, when most people aren’t at the beach. The swell rarely gets above 1m, even during particularly windy periods. The only onsite facilities available are parasols which can be rented. There is a very small resort a few steps away where you’ll find bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets.
El Bajo Negro
El Bajo Negro is also located in Corralejo in the north of Fuerteventura, tucked in between Playa Larga and Playa del Caserón. This 300-metre-long beach faces north and features fine white sand lapped by turquoise waters just like you’d get in the Caribbean. This beach is incredibly popular with tourists especially those staying at the nearby Club Hotel RIU Oliva Beach although since May is one of the quietest months for the island, the beach shouldn’t be overly crowded at this time of year.
Thanks to the sand dunes which line the beach, El Bajo Negro rarely receives any strong winds, making it perfect for sun bathing. The sea is equally calm and very shallow in fact you have to walk out quite far out before it’s deep enough for swimming. Thanks to the hotels in the local area, there is a great choice of bars, restaurants, mini markets and shops nearby, plus sun loungers, parasols, toilets, lifeguards and bars on the beach.
Bars and Restaurants
Agua
If you’re in the mood for a cocktail, pop into Agua in Corralejo. This bar is located overlooking the beach and specialises in exotic cocktails you won’t find in most bars which are made to order right in front of you. There is also a small snack menu available with sandwiches and other light bites. If you’re not too hungry skip the food and just order drinks you get a small serving of tapas for free every time you order a drink. The fantastic sea views combined with the carefully-crafted drinks and cool music make this bar a great place to spend an afternoon or evening.
Pincha Cabra
For something more local, try Pincha Cabra Tapas Bar. Also located in Corralejo, this casual eatery is tucked away into a back street and specialises in Spanish and Canarian tapas and wine. Some of the most popular choices on the menu include garlic prawns, cod and banana croquettes and Canarian potatoes served with homemade mojo sauce. The portion sizes are very generous, so make sure you don’t over-order. Diners can choose to eat inside in the Canarian-styled white-washed dining room or outside in the small courtyard.
Things to do in Fuerteventura in May
Fuerteventura Golf Club
May is one of the quietest months of the year for Fuerteventura, making it a great time to enjoy a round of golf at Fuerteventura Golf Club. Most golfers head to the island in the winter months, so you’ll practically have the whole course to yourself in May. This par-72 golf course is the first 18-hole course to be built in Fuerteventura and is lined by three interconnected lakes. What makes this course so special is its location one side faces the sea and the other side is overlooked by the rocky, volcanic terrain of Fuerteventura.
The fairways, tees and 67 bunkers of little depth are strewn over a very well-kept green in a way which makes a round enjoyable for golfers of all skills. In addition to the main golf course, Golf Club Fuerteventura also boasts a practice area, driving range with 50+ positions, 800m2 putting green, bunker, green approach and pro shop.
Fishing
May is also a great time of year to go fishing.

Record low & record high temperatures
The highest temperature ever recorded in Fuerteventura in May (at the Airport station) was 36.8°C and the lowest was 11.6°C.
Since the island is mostly flat, the temperatures stay pretty much the same across all major resorts in Fuerteventura: Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste, and Morro Jable. The north can be more prone to cloudiness though, so if you’re staying in Corralejo and the time isn’t great, you have the option of heading south for a sunnier day.

After the winter months that do see some rain and the first two months of Spring (March, April) when chances of precipitation start to decrease, May is the first month of the year with virtually no rain in Fuerteventura. The average rainfall in May is 1mm and usually, you won’t see more than a few wet hours during this month.

Can you swim in Fuerteventura in May?
With an average of 19.6°C / 67.3°F, the water temperature is on the rise and towards late May it becomes warm enough to go swimming in some places. We would prefer places like the Cotillo lagoons, where the temperature might be more tolerable than on other open beaches, like Corralejo Grandes Playas.

Things to do in Fuerteventura in May
If you’re coming to Fuerteventura for the beach and relaxation, then you’re chosen the correct destination. But we always recommend that you go out and see a bit of the island, either with an organized tour or on your own, using a hired car (which are cheap to rent and the island is an easy place to drive).
Day trip to El Cotillo
Playa La Concha in El Cotillo
No matter the season and no matter where you are staying, a visit to El Cotillo is kind of a must.
Compared to Corralejo and Caleta de Fuste this village seems sleepy and quiet, but this is actually part of its charm. You can take the day to explore the lagoons, La Concha Beach and Piedra Playa on the other side of town.
Adventure day in Ajuy
View of Ajuy at sunset
If you’re feeling particularly adventurous on one day, we recommend that you drive to Ajuy to explore the caves and the surrounding area.
The beach in Ajuy offers a spectacular sunset, although you should keep in mind that this beach is dangerous due to the strong currents, as it is situated on the west coast of the island and it is not recommended to swim here. We like to arrive here in the afternoon, explore the caves, admire the views and the waves crashing, then watch the sunset from the beach and then enjoy a dinner at the restaurant that is located right next to the beach (admittedly they don’t serve a memorable meal, but the views and the colors of the sky are amazing and sunset, so this is compensation enough for us).
Events in May
Labour Day (Fiesta del Trabajo)
1 May 2021
This is a festive day in Spain, which means that the local workers get a day off from work. This means that supermarkets and most shops will be closed on the day, which is why you should do your shopping the day before.
Canary Islands Day (Dia de Canarias)
30 May 2021
This is a day of celebration in all the Canary Islands and it means it’s again a public holiday, so everything will be closed.
There will usually be celebrations in different towns in Fuerteventura, local music, and traditional dances, which is a nice way to experience local traditions and culture.
May Weather in Fuerteventura, Spain – 2023 – Winter Sun Expert
Fuerteventura, the second largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, sits in the Atlantic Ocean 10 km (6 Miles) off the north coast of Africa. It’s known primarily as a holiday destination due to its white-sand beaches and year-round warmth cooled by constant winds. The multitude of beaches that wrap around it is interrupted by cliffs and sheltered coves. It is popular for water sports, especially surfing, windsurfing and waterskiing.
The island’s name is a compound word formed by the Spanish words for “strong” (fuerte) and “fortune” (ventura). Fuerteventura is the oldest island in the Canary Islands dating back 20 million years to a volcanic eruption from the Canary hotspot. However, the last volcanic activity in Fuerteventura occurred between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago.
Fuerteventura was chosen among 500 European destinations by the Quality Coast International Certification Program of the European Coastal and Marine Union as one of the most attractive tourist destinations for visitors interested in cultural heritage, environment, and sustainability.

Since 1860 the present Puerto del Rosario (formerly Puerto de Cabras) has been the capital of Fuerteventura with around 40,000 inhabitants. Politically, the Canary Islands belong to Spain, but with their two provinces they have the status of an autonomous region.
Fuerteventura belongs with Gran Canaria and Lanzarote to the province “Las Palmas”, while the Canary Islands Tenerife, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma belong to the province Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Rain is to be expected at most in the winter months, but also then it concerns rare short showers. The weather is generally sunny with average values between 17 °C to 26 °C, whereby the daily maximum temperatures in summer can also exceed 30 °C.
The water temperatures are between 19 °C to 23 °C. The special climate on Fuerteventura is influenced by the so-called Canary Current (a moderately warm Atlantic current) and the continuous north-east trade wind. The humidity is usually pleasantly low.
In midsummer, the climate phenomenon Calima (a desert wind) can bring record temperatures above 38 °C, but these extremes only last for a few days.

The inland of Fuerteventura is rather sparsely populated compared to the neighbouring islands, the main attraction are undoubtedly the long dream beaches. A visit to the dunes of Corralejo is as popular as the steep coasts in the west of the island (e.g. Ajuy) and the fishing village Morro Jable.
The archaeological site “La Atalayita” reveals the secrets of the Mahos, who were native to Fuerteventura in the 15th century. Our excursion recommendations: Boat tour with FuerteCharter or Ocean People, visit the Oasis Park Fuerteventura and off-road tour e.g. from Cross Island.

Temperature and dew point
There are 2 weather stations close enough to help us estimate the temperature and dew point in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
For each station, the data have been corrected for the difference in altitude between the station and Santa Cruz de Tenerife according to the International Standard Atmosphere, as well as for the relative change in MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between these two points.
The calculated value for Santa Cruz de Tenerife is calculated as a weighted average of the individual data from each station with weights proportional to the reciprocal of the distance between Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the given station.
Stations participating in the reconstruction:
- Tenerife-South (GCTS, 71%, 57 km, south-west, 8 m elevation)
- Gran Canaria Airport (GCLP, 29%, 104 km, southeast, Altitude -32 m)

Number of sunny days
Beautiful sunny weather will delight tourists in July – as many as 30 sunny days per month. Great time to relax in Tenerife.
Wind speed
The maximum strength of the wind in July is up to 6 m/s with gusts up to 8.8 m/s.
Comfortable throughout the year and mild climate – the undeniable advantage of Tenerife. The summer months are moderately hot, although geographically the Canaries are part of Africa. Winter is not cold, there are no seasons of tropical showers and hurricanes. You can come to the island to rest at any time. This is exactly the case when nature does not have bad weather. But there are some nuances that will be useful to know in advance.
Tenerife is an island with a difficult terrain. Due to this, on a land plot the size of two Moscow, territories with different microclimates coexist. But the most striking contrast is between north and south.
From the northeast, winds constantly blow on the island, forming waves and clouds. In the mountains, the clouds turn into rain, but they are not always able to overcome the mountain range. Therefore, 80% of all precipitation goes to the north.
In contrast to the humid north, the “beach” south of Tenerife is protected from bad weather by a wall of mountains. Here it is warmer and sunnier, the ocean is calmer, rains are infrequent and mostly short.
Weather in the south of Tenerife
Since the vast majority of tourists from Russia prefer to relax on the southern coast of the island (namely, in the resorts of Costa Adeje, Las Americas, Los Cristianos), we will pay special attention to it.
Here at different times of the year during the day the air usually warms up to 21-28°C in the shade. The coolest is in February, the hottest – in August.
You are in Africa and not far from the equator. So in winter, 20 ° C in the shade is on a good day in the open sun, it feels like six degrees more. Another thing is that in winter the probability of cloudiness, wind and precipitation is higher, even in the south.
By the way, you can get a tan (and get burned too) in Tenerife even in cloudy weather.
The best time of the year to visit the island is September and October. There are significantly fewer tourists and not as active sun compared to August, and the ocean warms up to annual highs.
Weather at other resorts
The weather on the west coast of the island (resorts of Los Gigantes, Puerto Santiago, Playa de la Arena) is the same as on the south. And in winter there are even more sunny days.
The city of Puerto de la Cruz, although located in the middle of the northern coast, lies in a lowland, therefore it is fair to talk about a special microclimate in the city.

8 | 8 | 7 | 7 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 7 | 9 | 9 |
Jan | Apr | Jul | Aug | Sep | Nov | Dec |
Compared to the south in Puerto de la Cruz, the temperature is usually slightly lower. In the summer, this is not important, and it can feel even hotter due to high humidity.
In winter, the difference sometimes reaches four or five degrees, which is quite noticeable. Significantly less sun, more rainy days.
And if you don’t compare, then in general it’s not bad, if you don’t sunbathe to the north and swim in the ocean (waves!) arrived.
Weather forecast

Most of the weather sites and services on popular portals on request “Tenerife” show the forecast and the current situation for the capital of the island – located in the northeast of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where there is a microclimate. Or it is not at all clear where the data is taken from.
And this systematically misleads tourists and causes a state of slight panic, from year to year giving rise to the same questions on the forums. It is understandable: 16 ° C during the day, and even with rain – not at all what vacationers who pack their suitcases in warmer climes dream of in winter.
Check the weather forecast on the right sites and for the part of the island where you plan to relax!
Kalima
Neighborhood with Africa has one unpleasant feature. Sometimes, during sandstorms in the Sahara, the wind brings dust, sand and hot air to Tenerife. The thermometer can easily jump up to 40 ° C, the sky is covered with a gray haze, it is hard without an air conditioner. This disgrace is called “Kalima”, and it is unpredictable.
But not everything is so scary. Firstly, Kalima happens infrequently, 5-6 times a year. Secondly, it usually lasts only 2-4 days, after which the weather quickly returns to the climatic norm. Thirdly, its intensity is different, often generally goes unnoticed by tourists.
Tenerife is the largest and most populated of the seven Canary Islands.
This is an island of Spain with an area of 2034.38 square kilometers with a population of about a million people, which is 43 percent of the total population of the Canary Islands.
Tenerife is famous for its phenomenal weather and is known among travel enthusiasts as the Island of Eternal Spring. And this is an amazing fact, because only in Tenerife you can choose the weather according to your mood: the island is located in 7 different climatic zones. On the same day, temperatures range from tropical on the south coast to cold and snowy in the heart of the island. It takes only two hours by car to get to a different climate zone.

1) The weather in June in Spain
Spanish Canary Islands deserve special mention. It seems to many that they are somewhere in the Mediterranean, although they are located in the Atlantic, and quite far from the mainland of Spain – in the region of Morocco, much further south. However, it is not so hot there as one might imagine (in Madrid it is even hotter): on average + 26-28 ° C during the day and + 19-21 ° C at night.
In general, it can be noted that throughout Spain, by the end of the month, daily temperature fluctuations are becoming smaller, and the air is getting warmer – the approach of the July heat is felt.
There are very few rainy days in Spain in general in June, as a rule, a maximum of 1-2 days, on the islands it does not rain at all at this time of the year. Well, except that in Barcelona there can be more rain – up to 4-5 cloudy days. But such a situation is unlikely to upset anyone, and small showers will not spoil the trip. Thus, most of June in Spain is sunny days, and there are more and more hours of sunshine every day.
Peculiarities of May holidays in Spain
At the end of May there are more tourists, the beach season begins in the resorts of Costa del Sol (Andalusia), Costa Blanca (Valencia), Costa Brava and Costa Dorada (Catalonia). Costa means “shore”. Judging by the names, Spain has many coasts and they are all different:
- Del Sol is sunny.
- Blanca is white.
- Brava is rocky.
- Dorada is golden.
The sea warms up to +20°С, air up to 23-25°С. Comfortable, mild, almost summer weather, conducive to a calm, unfussy rest.
Spaniards love themselves very much. If something can be put off until tomorrow, the Spaniard will put it off. If you ask the question: “When?”, the true Spaniard will say: “Manyana” (tomorrow). Never today, never now. Now – a siesta, work can wait.
All of Spain, all its cities and resorts seem to be created for travel and recreation. May weather gives you a choice. I would like to see the masterpieces of architecture and plunge into the original culture of the country – please travel, the weather is favorable. If a vacation is unthinkable without the sea and the beach, Spain will provide all its shores: sea and ocean. Choose!

Weather in Spain
The climate of Spain is one of the most stable and sustainable in Europe. The difference between summer and winter temperatures is very small. Winter is from December to February, summer, respectively, lasts from June to August. Beach holidays are most attractive in August, when sea water warms up to maximum temperatures.
Snow in Spain is rare and in most regions is equated with a national disaster. Coastal areas are humid and windy in winter, making it seem like it’s much cooler outside than it really is. Rain and winds are common during the autumn and spring months.
Important! Many travelers, choosing a tour to Spain, are guided by the principle that the further south, the warmer the sea will be. For Spain, this principle does not work! In terms of sea water temperature, the warmest resorts in the summer months are the Costa Blanca and Murcia
The beaches of the Costa Dorada and the Balearic Islands are in second place. The Costa del Sol, despite its favorable geographical position, cannot always please travelers with a warm sea due to the influence of the Atlantic. In the Canary Islands, the water temperature in the peak of the summer season rises to a maximum of 24, which is much lower than the Mediterranean figures. But in spring, winter and autumn, the water in the Canaries will be warmer than in the Iberian Peninsula. Such are the features of sea currents.
Holidays and festivals in Spain in September
The beginning of September is a hot time in Spain, which pleases with its interesting events. Something entertaining happens literally in every town in Spain.
Fiestas de la Mare de Deu de la Salut is celebrated on September 7-8 in Valencia, in Algemesi.
The main local festival has its roots in the Middle Ages, and for its brilliance and importance was included in the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Theatrical, dance and musical performances are part of the celebrations, as well as the parade, which is attended by more than 1400 people
At the end of September, several theaters and cinemas in the city of San Sebastian (in northern Spain, on the shores of the Bay of Biscay) host the International Film Festival .
On September 24, Barcelona celebrates Fiesta De La Mercé , a feast dedicated to Our Lady of Mercy (La Mercè), patroness of the city. As part of the festival, free music concerts (music from traditional to modern) that take place in the squares (in particular, in Plaza Catalunya and Sant Jaume Square), as well as a number of traditions. For example, people dance a sardana (traditional Catalan dance) and come to look at castels (cat. Castells) or “human castles” – these are towers of people traditionally erected during festivals in Catalonia. Plus night fireworks and awesome correfoc (this is when a group of people will dress like devils and burn fireworks, spinning to the sound of drums in a traditional dance gralla ).
4) What are the holidays in Spain in June?
In June, many interesting events take place in Spain. For example, Sonar Electronic Music Festival is organized in Barcelona in the middle of June. The festival has been celebrated since 1994 and lasts three days (usually starts on Thursday and ends on Sunday). The music does not stop even for a minute – people hang out literally for days on end!
Further, all Catholic Spain celebrates in the last ten days of June the feast of the body and blood of Christ . Religious Spain celebrates this event in full, and each city strives to outdo the rest in the splendor and originality of the celebrations. For example, in Granada you can see huge carnival figures – they personify human sins, in Barcelona a whole eggshell is thrown into the fountains, which then seems to be dancing in streams, and other strange and not very strange traditions. Perhaps the most colorful spectacle is organized annually at Sitges – the pavements here transform into delightful floral carpets.
Residents of the town of Castillo de Murcia perform a slightly strange ceremony called El Colacho: men dressed in red and yellow suits jump over babies lying on the ground (on pillows, of course), as if taking away both ailments and evil with them.
What is the weather like in May in Spain?
Due to the excellent weather in Spain, quite a lot of tourists visit its expanses, especially in May.
In spring, the country attracts tourists with wonderful weather and an abundance of entertainment for every taste.
Air and water temperature
Spain has a vast territory, which is home to a variety of cities and resorts. The weather may vary depending on the region. While the southern coast is quite dry and clear, and the May climate is ideal for beach tourism, the northern resorts have excellent conditions for long walks through ancient sights.
At the beginning of May there is a typical off-season in Spain. In the cities, clear weather sets in – an ideal time for educational recreation. There is only a month left before the holiday season, but the average air temperature in the country pleases with a mark of + 23-25 ° C during the day, + 16 ° C at night.

The water on the coast is warming up every day. At the beginning of May, the sea temperature is +17 degrees, and at the end of the month its indicators increase by 3-4 degrees.
If we consider the weather in May in the country, then the average indicators will be as follows:

Weather conditions
May in Spain is considered one of the driest months of the year. It accounts for only 7-8 cloudy days. In general, the country is sunny and warm, and the resorts are preparing for the opening of the summer season. The only unpleasant moment may be a strong wind in the north of the country, but in the second half of the month it ceases to disturb vacationers.
Tourist seasons in Spain
The beach holiday season in the resorts of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands begins in May – June and ends in September. There are not many tourists on the coast during these months. For those who want to save on vacation, the beginning and end of the season is the best time to travel to the seaside resorts of Spain.
If you like to swim exclusively in warm sea water, then go to Spain in July or August. True, you will have to put up with all the disadvantages of the peak tourist season: high prices, congested hotels, beaches and major tourist attractions.
With the end of the beach season, tourists do not lose their interest in Spain at all. In autumn, winter and early spring, they are concentrated in areas of major cultural and historical attractions, ski resorts and festivals. Buying a package tour during this period will be much more difficult than during the high season.
As for the Canary Islands, it is almost impossible to determine the beginning and end of the season here. Tourists come here all year round for the sea and the sun. The warmest period starts in May and ends in November.
3) What to do in Spain in June?
During the day on the beaches of Spain you can sunbathe and swim – the water and air temperature allows. Well, for those who are not particularly interested in a beach holiday, Spain has prepared a number of interesting sights, archaeological sites, unusual buildings, museums, galleries and other things for them.
Spain is still an amazing country with amazing atmosphere and architecture. Literally every city is a real work of art, with its arches, palaces, basilicas, old monasteries. Yes, even ordinary houses and streets cause tenderness! It will take years to get to know Spain completely! Of the architectural buildings and museums alone, more than 40 are included in the list of these objects due to their special historical and cultural value. In this regard, Spain concedes the palm only to Italy – among all European countries.
The nature of Spain is no less good and fresh, but in the first month of summer it appears before tourists in all colors. If you are in the north of the country and are ready for an active pastime, climb up to the wonderful lake Ibon de Truchas , which is located in the mountains at an altitude of 2144 meters above sea level (however, you can get there by lift). Lazier tourists can be advised to enjoy the beauty of the country’s nature in parks and gardens – for example, in Blanes go to botanical garden “Mar and Murtra” and “Pina de Rosa”, in Valencia and Barcelona the botanical gardens are no less beautiful in full bloom, and don’t forget about the incredible Alcazar Gardens (in Seville), Sabatini Gardens ( in Madrid).
National parks of Spain – a separate conversation. This is certainly not a garden that can be walked around in a couple of hours. National parks occupy, as a rule, rather vast territories, and can capture mountains with all these incredible landscapes. For example, Aiguestortes National Park is located in northern Spain, almost in the center of the Pyrenees, and Ordesa i Monte Perdido National Park in the province of Huesca, in the Aragonese Pyrenees – all this is very, very beautiful!
In general, there is a lot of entertainment for every taste and budget.
Air temperature in Spain in May 2019
Spain in May is not a beach season, and tourists come to this country to enjoy the flourishing cities, visit folklore fairs and flamenco dance performances on the day of Madrid.
The weather in May in Spain favors traveling around the country to see all its sights. Thus, the air temperature in Barcelona is +21°С and +22°С in Madrid. If you read the reviews of tourists, then the water temperature still does not allow you to swim in the sea, but everyone comes to splash their feet.

In other Spanish cities, namely in Malaga and Marbella, during the day the air warms up to +25°C, in Valencia to +27°C, but at night the temperature drops to 15°C. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to take a light sweater with you on a trip. The warmest place is in Seville, during the day it is + 28 ° С, but there are few tourists due to the fact that there is no sea nearby, only in the nearest cities.

Weather in Spain in June
Although the official beach season on the Mediterranean coast of the country opens in May, the main influx of tourists occurs in the following months. May has a much greater number of cloudy days and precipitation. The air temperature cannot be called cold – it is only on average 3-4 ° lower than in June. But the sea is still cool: on the Andalusian coast and the Balearic Islands, the water can sometimes warm up to 20 ° C, but you should not expect this to the north.
Features of the weather in the regions of Spain in June
Spain can be divided into 4 climatic zones, each of which, although quite suitable for a summer holiday, still has its own characteristics.
Atlantic Coast (Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and Basque Country)
In this region, the climate can be called mild and cool compared to the southern regions of Spain. The average daily temperature in June here rarely rises above 16 ° C, and the water temperature does not even reach 18 ° C. However, the weather at this time of the year is clear and there are no more rainy days than in other regions of the country.
It is unlikely that at the beginning of summer the north-west of Spain will be suitable for lovers of a beach holiday, however, cloudless cool weather, as well as an abundance of architectural monuments, will be an excellent tool for cultural tourism.
In Galicia, the city of Santiago de Compostela is located, considered the third most important city for Catholics. The relics of St. James are kept here – one of the main relics of the Christian world. Of course, religious pilgrimage in the region is ahead of other tourism industries.
Central regions (Castile, Aragon, Extremadura, Madrid)
Although there is no place in Spain more than 380 km from the sea, the main part of it lies in mountainous regions with a continental Mediterranean climate. The amplitude of annual temperatures here is much more significant than in other regions. But in June, summer is already in full force: the thermometer during the day fluctuates between 22-27 ° C. Precipitation here is also rare, as well as on the coast.
The peculiarity of this region is a unique mixture of Arab and European culture and architecture. You can spend more than one day and not see even a tenth of it to study the historical centers of Toledo, Caceres, Zaragoza, Valladolid and, of course, Madrid.
When traveling in Spain, keep in mind that the Spaniards can have breakfast at two o’clock in the afternoon, and the typical time for dinner here is 9-10 pm, when the heat of the day gives way to a comfortable evening coolness.
The hottest areas of Spain are located on the Mediterranean coast, as well as the southern coast of the Atlantic Ocean. June here, despite the considerable length of the coastline, is hot and cloudless. The north coast is more comfortable: the daytime temperature in Barcelona and Valencia is around 24-27 °C, and the sea is already warming up to 20-21 °C.
The further south, the hotter and drier the climate becomes. The Andalusian coast is a couple of degrees warmer, while Murcia boasts some of the hottest beaches on the mainland. Daytime temperatures only occasionally drop below 30°C. Almost all June days, a tourist runs the risk of being caught under the scorching sun – the humidity here tends to a minimum.
Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, when completed, will be the tallest cathedral in the world (according to the plan, about 170 meters). However, it has been under construction for 137 years and is in danger of becoming a record holder for a very long time. Despite this, it is already one of the most visited attractions in the city.
Canary Islands
Separately, it is worth considering the Canary Islands. They are removed from the rest of Spain and lie near the coast of Western Sahara, which has a strong influence on the weather of the region. The climate here is arid tropical, subject to seasonal winds. At the beginning of summer, precipitation here is extremely rare. During the day, the temperature is around 27-29 °C, and the water temperature reaches 23 °C. It is worth noting that the water temperature on the islands practically does not fall below 20 ° C throughout the year.
What to do this month?
Spain is rich in various entertainment and exciting walks in interesting places. But relaxing on the beach in May is also a pleasure.
Beach holidays – is it possible to swim?
If you want to relax on the coast and sunbathe under the warm rays of the sun, without worrying about cloudy weather, the Canary Islands are suitable for these purposes. It has a particularly pleasant climate and ideal conditions for beach tourism.
Already at the beginning of the month, tourists get the opportunity to get their feet wet, and at the end of May, people not only sunbathe, some already swim at this time.
For these purposes, tourists choose Tenerife – an island with a large selection of beaches and water activities. High air and water temperatures make it possible to spend time on the beach, and rains bother tourists only in the northern part of the island. For a holiday this month, it is better to choose the south coast.
The best beaches in Tenerife where you can relax in May:
- La Pinta;
- Los Cristianos;
- Playa la arena.
Even if you can’t swim in the ocean, windsurfing, surfing, diving and other activities are available on the coast.
Detailed weather forecast for Tenerife in May you can read in this article.
Tours and activities – where to go?
Many tourists choose Madrid and Barcelona as a resort – two ancient cities, acquaintance with which brings only pleasant impressions.
These cities are home to valuable architectural monuments and masterpieces of art from such great talents as Antonio Gaudí and Pablo Picasso.
Also worth a visit:
- Menorca and Mallorca;
- The first capital of Spain – Toledo;
- Salou with its Port Aventura theme park;
- Girona, where a statue of a lion is said to grant wishes.

What clothes to bring

Although there is no strict dress code in the Catholic Church, shorts and short skirts are not suitable for visiting temples.
Autumn and spring throughout Spain are warm by Russian standards. A light jacket or raincoat will be enough for you. However, early March and late November can be chilly. Study the weather forecast carefully.
Winters in Spain are again warm. Feel free to wear a coat or autumn jacket. You definitely won’t need fur-lined shoes, unless you’re going to the mountains. Ski resorts experience sub-zero temperatures in winter, so take winter clothes and shoes.
Important! Going to Spain, many tourists take the bare minimum of necessary things and carry practically empty suitcases on the plane. All for the sake of pampering yourself with high-quality, designer and often inexpensive clothes
Spain has a special atmosphere that causes an irresistible desire to create and create. On the streets of ancient cities, you can find shops of both world-famous couturiers and budding Spanish designers. So take your time to fill your suitcase with outfits. Suddenly you decide to buy something for yourself in the boutiques of Madrid or Barcelona.
Weather in Spain in September
It is rather difficult to talk about the weather when it comes to the whole country. Moreover, Spain is not such a small country, there are islands, and mountains, and plains, and coastal zones – of course, the weather in different areas can vary.
In addition, the weather at the beginning and at the end of the month has differences. Nevertheless, autumn is autumn, even in such a southern state. The first two weeks of September , however, this is the real summer, a wonderful time for a beach holiday and traveling around the country. In the second half of the weather can get a little worse, but as a rule, nothing “criminal” happens, and the weather in Spain is pleasant throughout September.
In short, it is best to go to Spain for a beach holiday at the very beginning of autumn, since there is no “velvet season” on the coast of the country as such. Amazing summer weather can be abruptly replaced by rains and storms, and the nights become abruptly cool.

Spain on May
The weather and conditions for surfing in Spain in May are very varied. Basically, the weather depends on which part of Spain you plan to go to. The main places for surfing in Spain are located in the north of the mainland, as well as in the Canary Islands.

The north of Spain will be quite cool in May by Spanish standards. The average air temperature is about 20 degrees and the water temperature is about 16 degrees.

The friendly local population and remoteness from big cities make this place even more attractive.
If in May you decide to go to study surfing in the north of Spain, then we advise you to choose the region of Galicia, because due to its location waves are here every day in May. Learn more about the surf camp in northern Spain here: Surfing in Galicia. The combination of a fun group of surfers from all over the world, unlimited surfing with cool instructors, and living literally 5 minutes from the ocean make this surf camp a great place to visit in May.

The waves at this time will be good for both beginners and advanced surfers. For beginners, there are Russian instructors and sandy beaches with soft small waves or foam. And intermediate surfers will enjoy good waves on reef spots and powerful beach breaks under the guidance of experienced guides.

Asia in May
Surfing in Asia in May attracts many tourists. Here the weather is good, the warm ocean and always the sun. The most suitable places for surfing in Asia in May are Bali and the Philippines. If you are thinking about a trip to Sri Lanka in May, then especially carefully read the information below.
Bali on May
Absolutely everyone will enjoy surfing in Bali in May. At this time, there is no longer the rainy season, which happens here from November to March. This means that the chance of rain is extremely small. With no rainfall, the northwest coast of Bali is litter-free, which means everyone’s favorite Kuta beach is making everyone happy with its clean waves, perfect for learning. For those who continue at this time, almost all spots of the northwestern coast “work”.
If you are going for a couple of weeks, then in order not to waste time looking for accommodation, renting a surfboard and looking for a surf instructor, we advise you to take advantage of the offers of surf camps in Bali. This format includes accommodation, surfing lessons, meeting and seeing off at the airport, as well as some additional bonuses. In addition, such an offer, as a rule, turns out to be much more profitable than if you take all these components separately.
We recommend this Russian surf camp in Bali: Canggu Surf School. Here, experienced Russian instructors will teach you how to surf, sort out all the mistakes in photos and videos, show you the most beautiful beaches and treat you to a welcome drink.
Well, if you don’t want to go to Bali in May alone, then join our group surf tour in Bali for the May holidays.
Sri Lanka in May
Surfing in Sri Lanka in May is possible, given some of the features of this island. The thing is that it is May that is the transitional period. At this time, the rainy season begins on the west coast. The waves here become not good enough for riding, namely small and erratic, which is not comfortable for either beginners or advanced ones. Of course, at the very beginning of May, you can still try to catch good weather and good waves on the west coast, although most surf schools are already closed in May. But for the most persistent, who nevertheless decided to come to Sri Lanka in early May, we recommend 2 surf schools that work in May:
Surf school in Kabalana
Surf school in Hikkaduwa (only open until the end of the May holidays)
If you are going to Sri Lanka after the May holidays and want to learn how to surf, then you should choose a surf school on the east coast, because it is there there will be waves for surfing at this time. The best surfing conditions on the east coast can be found in Arugam Bay. True, the big disadvantage of this resort is that it will take 8 hours to get here from the airport. If you are not ready for such long journeys, then we advise you to take a closer look at Bali.
Philippines in May
Surfing in the Philippines in May will appeal to both absolute beginners and advanced. In May, the Philippines always has good sunny weather and a warm ocean, which makes surfing doubly enjoyable. And staying at a hotel right on the ocean next to a world-class surf spot will appeal to absolutely everyone.
For all those who decided to learn to surf in May in the Philippines, we recommend this surf camp: Surfing in the Philippines. Experienced Russian coaches work here, accommodation takes place in a comfortable hotel on the ocean, and a Russian administrator will always help organize the most unforgettable excursion.
Note: if you are planning a vacation for two weeks or more, then the Philippines in May is an excellent choice for a surf tour. If you are planning a shorter trip, then it is better to look at other countries, since the flight to Siargao Island, the mecca of Philippine surfing, will take about a day and at least 2 transfers.
Africa in May
As you know, it is warm in Africa, and even more so in May. So for those who want to not only surf, but also bask in the sun, and do not want very long flights, Africa will be a great option for a surf vacation. To date, surfing in Africa is most developed in Morocco.
Morocco in May
Surfing in Morocco in May will please not only beginners, but also advanced ones. For beginners, there are simply ideal conditions here – many kilometers of sandy beaches and a coastline with a sandy bottom and small waves. Combined with intensive lessons and Russian-speaking instructors, this creates excellent conditions for learning to surf and progressing quickly. Continued surfers will not be bored in Morocco either – there are such famous surf spots as Anchor Point and Imsouaine, where waves of 2-3 meters come. There are many good spots for practicing tricks and turns, and an English-speaking surf guide will always select the best spot for your level.
Morocco is an ideal combination of price, flight duration, quality and intensity of training, as well as comfortable living. For example, in May, a direct flight from Moscow to Agadir and back will cost about 400 euros. A week of surf camp costs 420 euros. The price includes accommodation, surfing lessons, rental of all equipment, 3 meals a day, meeting and seeing off at the airport.

Mexico in May
Surfing in Mexico in May will appeal to both beginners and advanced. For beginners, there will be small training waves, and for those who continue, waves up to 6 meters come to certain spots. On certain days in May, waves for experienced surfers can reach 10 meters. The weather in Mexico in May is ambiguous – it is quite hot (about 30 degrees) and there is a high probability of rain, which makes the air quite humid. The possibility of showers does not affect the excellent conditions for surfing. We especially recommend Mexico for a visit in May to intermediate and experienced surfers, as great waves await them here.

Dominican Republic in May
From May to September in the Dominican Republic there is a season of small waves (maximum wave 2 meters). This is a great time to take your first steps in surfing or practice turning techniques and tricks. The weather in May in the Dominican Republic can break out with showers, but this does not affect the conditions for surfing in any way. Plus, with a chance of rain in May, Dominican package prices drop significantly, which means you can go to a luxury resort for a very reasonable price.
