Teneriffa väder med prognoser, statistik och länkar.

Inga vädervarningar på Teneriffa för tillfället.

Teneriffa Väder är en sajt om Teneriffvädret. Här går det att hitta de senaste prognoserna från både lokala och globala vädertjänster samt en hel del information om det fantastiska och variationsrika klimat som vädersäkra Teneriffa erbjuder.

Vanligt väder på Teneriffa – molnfritt, sol och en behaglig värme, men vädervariationer förekommer!

Ett behagligt klimat, året runt har gjort denna kanariska ö och alla andra kanarieöar som ligger belägna i Atlanten en bit utanför Afrikas nordvästra kust till en uppskattad destination för kortare semestervisiter till längre vistelser och permanenta uppehällen. Man kan fråga vem som helst som man möter på Teneriffa om vad det bästa med ön är, och svaret är enhälligt – Teneriffas väder!

Se lokala väderlekstjänster

Väder Teneriffa Playa de las Américas

Den populära turistorten på Teneriffas södra sida erbjuder ett av Teneriffas mest solsäkra klimat. Generellt är vädret i Playa de las Américas lite stabilare, varmare och mer solsäkert jämfört med den norra sidan av ön. Å andra sidan är det torrare, vilket påverkar vegetationen så att det är mindre grönska och växtlighet. Lägsta medeltemeratur i Playa de las Américas är 19 grader i januari och februari och som högst med 25 grader i september. Det är väldigt sällan som temperaturen kryper under 10 grader, men det händer då och då. Under sommarmånaderna juni-september så är det knappt ett moln på himlen medans det i januari-mars är mer molnigt och mer ostadigt väder. Men att det skulle regna 5-6 dagar i per månad under vintern som de flesta vädertjänsterna visar är fel. Vädret i Playa de las Américas är bättre än så och det regnar snarare 5-10 gånger per år och allra mest under januari, februari och mars.

Väder Teneriffa Los Cristianos

Fiskebyn Los Cristianos med sin omgivning bestående bananplantager blev en av södra Teneriffas första turistorter. Anledningen var såklart det stabila och soliga vädret i Los Cristianos. Som alla andra orter på Teneriffas södra sida så är vädret i Los Cristanos för det mesta soligt, varmt och torrt. Medeltemeperaturen under vintermånaderna ligger runt 19 grader och under sommaren på 25 grader. Man kan säga att under vintersäsongen som de flesta svenskar åker till Teneriffa och Los Cristianos är vädret i regel bra men något ostabilt. Ungefär som en svensk sommar. Dock så regnar det inte så ofta, men 1-2 gånger per månad kan man räkna med att det regnar i Los Cristianos, men inte mer än så!

Väder Teneriffa Puerto de la Cruz

På Teneriffas norra sida ligger hamnstaden Puerto de la Cruz som med anor från tidigt 1500-tal också blev ett tidigt turistmål. Här är temperaturen som oftast lite lägre och vädret i allmänhet är lite mer omväxlande och nederbördsrikare. Visst, vädret i Puerto de la Cruz är mer omväxlande men det är forfarande en kanarieö vi talar om och med det så är vädret i Puerto de la Cruz väldigt mycket bättre än en svensk sommar. Den rikliga nederbörden året om ger området grönska och växtlighet, vilket ger liv, årstider och kontrast gentemot den södra delen av Teneriffa. Medeltemperaturen vinterid ligger som lägst i februari med 16 grader. I augusti är det som varmast med en snitt-temperatur på runt 24 grader. Regnet faller oftare i Puerto de la Cruz, men inte så ofta som det i regel gör under en svensk sommar. Vintertid kan man räkna med mer regn och under sommaren kan det regna lite lätt någon dag per månad.

Ett unikt klimat

Teneriffas väder är inte bara sol, även om man kan tro det. På Teneriffa finns det nämligen 4 klimatzoner, vilket egentligen är helt otroligt med tanke på Teneriffas storlek, 2 034 km² eller för den delen 2/3 av Gotland. Klimatzonerna skapar ett unikt mikroklimat.

Väderfenomen

Teneriffa är som oftast förskonat från extremväder som orkaner och jordbävningar, även om det förekommer. Däremot förekommer det väderfenomen som Calima och höga vågor.

Bo i solen året om

Vem vill inte vistas på en plats där det är sommar året runt och där medeltemeraturen i januari ligger på 19 grader och i augusti på hela 29 grader. Det är inte så konstigt att begripa att allt fler väljer att slå sig ner på Teneriffa permanent. För solälskaren är denna ö rena paradiset med närmare 300 soldagar per år. Det betyder att man måste stå ut med några molniga dagar och till och med något enstaka oväder. Men med så många soldagar så kan det vara skönt med ett och annat regnstänk då och då.

Det är inte bara turister som väljer att besöka Kanarieöarna på grund av de fina väderförhållandena, utan många väljer att bosätta sig här. En del gör det periodvis och vissa övervintrar medans andra bosätter sig permanent. Det finns många bra lokala mäklare som kan hjälpa dig om du funderar på att sälja eller köpa bostad i området.

Men hur är egentligen klimat och vädret på Teneriffa i detalj? Kontakta oss så kan vi ge dig en detaljerad beskrivning av så att du ska få en uppfattning om Teneriffas väder och klimat.

EVERYTHING You Need To Know!

Tenerife is considered one of the best surfing spots in Europe. Located in the Canary Islands, just off the coast of Africa, Tenerife is blessed with year round sunshine, warm weather and epic waves.

It’s a popular destination for anyone searching for some European winter sun, as well as a dream destination for outdoors lovers. There are many awesome things to do in Tenerife, and many revolve around the great outdoors and water sports.

I had tried surfing before visiting Tenerife, and I was really keen to properly learn how to surf. When I moved to Tenerife for four months I decided it was my opportunity to finally commit to this sport.

In this article I outlined everything I learnt in four months, and that you need to know about surfing in Tenerife. Including the best surf spots, the best surf schools, the best times to surf and more!

Whether you’re a surfing newbie or an advanced surfer, Tenerife has a wave for everyone. So without further ado, let’s dive in and discover this ultimate Tenerife surf guide!

Best surf school in Tenerife

If you want to do surf lessons in Tenerife, I can highly recommend Surf Life Tenerife. Located in Las Americas, it’s the surf school that I did classes and rentals with for four months.

Their surf instructors are all excellent surfers, as well as being super qualified and friendly. You can tell they love what they do, and genuinely want people to have the best surf experience possible.

They offer a variety of classes and experiences, including beginner group classes, private lessons, a premium package for those looking to step up from intermediate surfers to advanced, surf skate lessons and rentals.

Besides the awesome team I loved surfing with them because they usually do their surf lessons at Fitenia or Jeffrey, a slightly quieter spot in Las Americas.

Most surf schools in Tenerife do beginner classes in El Medio, right in front of Playa de las Americas. While the waves might be smoother, there are so many people in the water that it’s almost impossible to catch anything.

Surf Life Tenerife always took us to a quieter spot, where even if the waves might be slightly smaller, you will still end up catching more waves as you don’t have to worry about other people being in the way.

Me surfing in Fitenia, Tenerife

Surf Life Tenerife also collaborate with La Tortuga Hostel, a hostel in Costa Adeje, to offer a surf camp experience. This includes accommodation, surf classes and transfers between the hostel and the beach.

It’s cheaper than booking accommodation and surf classes separately, and it will give you the opportunity to bond more easily with like minded people.

I didn’t do it in Tenerife, but I’ve done surf camps before and have always had a great time.

Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced surfer, Surf Life Tenerife can help you advance in your surf journey. With their professional team and fun vibe, you’re guaranteed awesome waves and a great time.

Best Tenerife surf spots

Tenerife is blessed with strong and consistent waves all around the island, which means there are lots of awesome surf spots. I’ve listed below some of the best surf spots for all levels.

Las Americas

Las Americas is one of the most popular surf spots in Tenerife. That’s because there isn’t a single surf spot, but actually many different ones for all levels spread out along the coast.

La Derecha del Cartel

This is where you will find all the pro surfers of Las Americas. Located a stone’s throw away from Playa de las Americas, here you will find powerful barrels breaking on the reef.

Alejandro Calle Rattia, one of the surf instructors at Surf Life Tenerife, surfing in La Derecha, Tenerife

La Izquierda

We’ve already mentioned La Derecha, so obviously we couldn’t overlook La Izquierda. Opposite sides of the same spot, here you will similarly find strong and consistent waves for the more advanced surfers.

Fitenia & Jeffrey

Located on opposite sides of the same bay, slightly further along the coast from La Derecha, you will find Jeffrey and Fitenia. This is the spot where Surf Life Tenerife usually do their classes and where I surfed for four months.

Being respectively a point break the former and a beach break the latter, they’re amongst the best spots for beginners, intermediate and even advanced surfers.

Alejandro Calle Rattia, one of the surf instructors at Surf Life Tenerife, surfing in Fitenia

Here you can find both huge and powerful waves, as well as smaller and smoother ones depending on the swell and tide.

Even as a beginner, you can surf on big days by staying on the broken white waves in the bay between the two break points.

The seabed is entirely rocky so make sure to have water shoes and be careful when surfing!

Bajamar

Located in the north of the island, this scenic surf spot is popular amongst advanced surfers in Tenerife. Here you will find powerful waves breaking against the scenic backdrop of the Bajamar light house.

Playa del Socorro

Besides being an awesome surf spot, Playa del Socorro is also a must-see in Tenerife, as it’s one of the most scenic and beautiful beaches on the island.

Here you will find a stunning black sand beach surrounded by tall cliffs, as well as a powerful beach break. It’s a spot for advanced surfers since the waves and tide can get really strong.

Playa del Socorro from above

Best time to surf in Tenerife

The best time to surf in Tenerife, both in terms of season and time of day, will ultimately vary depending on your surfing experience.

Best time of the day

There isn’t one fixed best time of the day to surf in Tenerife. It will change every day depending on the tide, swell and wind. You can find accurate forecasts on websites like Magic Seaweed.

If you’re doing surf lessons with Surf Life Tenerife or another school you don’t have to worry about picking a time, since the school will usually arrange the best time for the skill level of your class.

Me surfing in Fitenia, Tenerife

Best time of the year

If you’re already an intermediate to advanced surfer you will probably prefer the winter Tenerife surfing season. The waves in winter are usually stronger, bigger and more consistent.

From October to February you will find huge waves everywhere on the island, perfect for advanced surfers looking for some fun. It’s part of the reason why Tenerife is one of my favourite places to visit in Europe in winter.

In summer the waves are usually much smaller, which makes them perfect for beginner surfers!

If you’re new to the sport and just want to try the surfing experience, small summer waves will give you the chance to do that, without being barrelled by the big winter swells.

My experience surfing in Tenerife

Let’s start with the premise that I loved surfing in Tenerife.

I had a little bit of prior surf experience, having been surfing in Bali, Costa Rica and Fuerteventura, but this was always only for week long surf camps or for one beach day as part of a longer trip.

I spent four months living in Tenerife, and it was the first time I had a proper chance to surf regularly and consistently.

It made me fall in love even more with the sport, as well as realise just how long it takes to become good at it.

It had been over a year since the last time I surfed, so I decided to start with a package of group lessons from Surf Life Tenerife to get back into the swing of things.

After that I mostly did rentals as I wanted to practice independently.

Surfing in Tenerife with my friend Martina

When you rent with Surf Life Tenerife you will usually rent at the same time as their group classes.

Personally I really liked this, as it meant I wasn’t alone in the water, and the instructors were keeping an eye on me even if I wasn’t part of the class.

I was in Tenerife from February to June, and got the opportunity to really see the change in waves and surfing conditions.

While the winter waves are without a doubt more thrilling, I actually enjoyed also the smaller summer waves.

Being an intermediate surfer the smaller waves gave me the opportunity to work more on my technique, and properly think of what I’m doing on the board, as opposed to just pushing through while being barrelled by a huge wave.

Me surfing one of the smaller waves in Fitenia, Tenerife

Over the four months I started also surf skating, I progressed to smaller boards and started learning how to manoeuvre the board on a wave. I’ve still got a long way to go, but I’m happy with my progress so far.

Besides the actual surfing, I loved the atmosphere in Tenerife. I met Martina during my first group lesson, and we ended up renting an apartment together for over a month.

I met lots of cool people surfing, and besides becoming surf pals we also became a tight group of friends and went on adventures around the island. If you’re looking for great waves and a fun vibe, Tenerife is the place for you!

Best places to stay to surf in Tenerife

If you want to get the most out of your Tenerife surf trip you will probably want to stay around Las Americas. It’s one of the most touristy parts of the island, but also one of the easiest places to stay in Tenerife.

Besides being within walking distance to many surf spots, you will also be surrounded by lots of cool bars, restaurants and shops, as well as being a good base to explore the island and go on cool hikes, whale watching tours and more.

I listed below some accommodation options for every budget.

Budget: La Tortuga Hostel – This hostel has clean and spacious dorms, as well as a swimming pool and a fun social vibe. They also offer a surf camp combo in partnership with Surf Life Tenerife for those looking for an accommodation & surfing lessons deal.

Mid-range: El Dorado Residence – I spent my first two months in Tenerife in an apartment in this residence, and loved every day of it. My apartment was spacious, in a great location (close to both the beach and supermarket) and had awesome sea and sunset views. I can highly recommend it.

Luxury: Green Garden Eco Resort & Villas – If you’re looking to treat yourself, this is the perfect place to do so! With their beautiful villas, gardens and pool here you can pamper yourself while still being close to the buzz of Las Americas.

What to pack for a Tenerife surf trip

Besides the usual travel essentials there are a few things you should add to your suitcase to ensure you make the most of your surfing experience in Tenerife.

Water shoes – The surf spots in Las Americas are all reef and rock breaks, you’ll want to use water shoes if you don’t want to injure your feet every time you surf.

Wetsuit – If you’re planning to surf in Tenerife in any month besides peak summer, you will need a wetsuit. The surf schools will usually provide you with one, but if you want to surf a lot it’s preferable to have your own.

Poncho – Getting out of your wetsuit and back into dry clothes is possibly both the most annoying and satisfying part of surfing. If you want to do so comfortably you should get one of these poncho towels.

SPF 50 zinc sun block – You’ll need one of these since you’ll be spending a lot of consecutive hours in the sea, and normal sunblock isn’t resistant enough to properly protect you from the sun.

Me surfing at Jeffreys – one of my best waves!

Ö med evig vår på vintern – vädret i februari på Teneriffa. Semester på Teneriffa i februari

En resa till Teneriffa i februari hände oss av en slump. Jag vann flygbiljetter i en tävling och de måste användas. Hur jag gjorde, skrev jag. Valet av övernattningsställen begränsades av flygbolagets flygkarta. Hon flög inte till Kanarieöarna, men det gick att flyga till Barcelona. Och lågprisflygbolag flyger redan därifrån. Jag tittade igenom recensioner av turister och insåg att vädret där nästan inte förändras året runt. Jag ville bara komma från Moskvas hårda vinter till en varm sommar. Hur du tillbringar din semester på ön den här månaden, läs den här artikeln.

En av våra första utflykter utanför byn var att vandra genom naturparken, där det gula berget ligger. Vi hittade den av en slump när vi gick längs havet. En sådan promenad är ett tillfälle att bekanta sig med Kanarieöarnas natur och hålla sig borta från människor. Till fots nådde vi grannorten. Förutom det gula berget finns ett annat naturreservat mycket nära – Röda berget, som ligger på orten. Vi hann bara se själva byn, som också har sin egen smak.

Om du vill ha ett mer aktivt liv, måste du besöka de främsta orterna på den södra delen av kusten -, med och. En dag gjorde vi just det. Vi klev på bussen och efter 15-20 minuter befann vi oss i en helt annan värld. De flesta turister väljer dem för rekreation. Det finns många restauranger, kaféer, barer, butiker och nattliv. Unga människor kommer förmodligen att vara mer intresserade här. I framtiden har vi varit hos dem mer än en gång och till och med gått hela kusten längs alla stränder till fots från Los Cristianos till Adeje. Om du är utan bil är det bekvämast att ta sig till andra attraktioner på ön härifrån. Också i en av resediskarna köpte vi några utflykter. På ryska säljer inte alla byråer utflykter, du måste titta. De vanligaste är europeiska språk.

Den första utflykten vi åkte på var denna. Om du är utan bil och vill se några ikoniska platser i allmänna termer, kommer den här turen att berika din kunskap om ön. Vi hade tur med guiden. Hon pratade på ett intressant och informativt sätt. På bussen på en dag är vi precis så många att vi inte skulle ha besökt så mycket. Vi körde från söder till norr och såg hur klimatet och växtligheten förändras. Norr är grönare, medan söder är mer öde. Överraskande nog är avståndet mellan norr och söder mycket litet. Vi tittade på klipporna i Los Gigantes, besökte den lilla bergsbyn Masca, där den berömda ravinen med samma namn börjar, och gick sedan till de naturliga poolerna i Garachico. Efter det gick vår rutt i Icod de los Vinos där vi besökte vinmuseet och bekantade oss med drakträdet. Från underhållningsdelen i vår rutt var.

Den största attraktionen på ön är. Det är helt enkelt omöjligt att inte besöka den under resan. Att ta sig dit med buss är inte lätt, så vi tog också en rundtur i den. Det tog en halv dag, och den här dagen hann vi besöka vulkanen och bada i havet. Teide har ett fantastiskt landskap. Känns som att du är på en annan planet.

En av dagarna vi hade ägnades åt ett underhållningsevenemang. Vi gick till. Den har många rutschbanor och vattenturer. Jag tror att både barn och vuxna kommer att trivas. Eftersom februari inte är högsäsong på Teneriffa var det inte så mycket folk. Vi hade tur och behövde inte stå i kö. Vädret är ganska behagligt för att besöka vattenparken.

Och vår sista utflykt var på nästa. Generellt sett lyckades vi lära känna honom. Det ser inte alls ut som Teneriffa. Inte mindre minnesvärt var att segla på en enorm färja.

Detta är inte allt du kan se på Teneriffa. Ön är rik på naturföremål och nöjesparker. Varje turist kan välja underhållning efter eget tycke.

Även om jag inte skriver här i detalj om stränderna så badade vi nästan varje dag. Vissa dagar var det havet, vissa dagar var det en pool. låter dig simma, men inte i alla orter på ön.

Som ni ser kan en resa till Teneriffa i februari vara ljus och händelserik. Det viktigaste är att planera din rutt korrekt och bestämma vad du vill se. Och min recension av en semester på Teneriffa är bara en av möjligheterna för att organisera en resa.

Om frågan är, hur är vädret i februari på Teneriffa, då kan vi säkert svara att slutet av vintern är bra tid att se öns många sevärdheter, simma i det varma havet och se storskaliga semestrar och festivaler med egna ögon.

Hur ser vädret ut i Februari i Teneriffa?

En ö i en skärgård i Atlanten Teneriffa– skyddet för det eviga, som många resenärer kallar det.

Det är året runt mjuk och speciella naturförhållanden har hjälpt ön att bli berömmelse bland turister från hela världen.

Genomsnittlig luft- och vattentemperatur

Lufttemperaturen i de södra och norra delarna av ön är betydande är annorlunda. Det största antalet orter är koncentrerat till söder.

I söder finns en bergskedja som delar ön på mitten, vilket skyddar städerna från kalla vindar och många nederbörd.

I städer som Los Cristianos, El Medano, Costa Adeje, Playa de las Americas, som ligger i södra delenöar är medellufttemperaturen cirka +14 grader på natten och +21 grader på dagen. Den genomsnittliga vattentemperaturen är cirka 20 grader.

Med nordliga städer Teneriffa är annorlunda. Fuktigt tropiskt klimat gynnar utvecklingen av frodig flora, men lufttemperaturen här är mycket lägre. Den genomsnittliga lufttemperaturen i städer som Santa Cruz de Tenerife och Puerto de la Cruz under dagen är cirka +10 grader på natten och upp till +19 under dagen. Vattentemperaturen i norr är cirka 17 grader.

Funktioner av väderförhållanden

Teneriffa har 2 klimatzoner och cirka 30 mikroklimatzoner. Denna funktion gör ön unik och det enda av ett slag.

Geografiskt hör ön till, men ligger på samma bredd som Saharaöknen och. Officiellt regerar ön subtropiskt klimat men här är det inte ens varmt. Bekvämt väder beror på mångfalden i det naturliga landskapet, såväl som förändringen av kalla och varma strömmar i Atlanten.

Även i hittar du information om flyget till Teneriffa från Moskva och St. Petersburg.

På vintern är nederbörd inte frekvent på södra delen av ön – i genomsnitt finns det inte mer än 5 molniga dagar per månad. Tack vare bergskedjorna och vulkanen Teide är södra Teneriffa året runt skyddad från hårda vindar. Semestersäsongen här fortsätter på vintern, vilket underlättas av ett stort antal moderna sandstränder och den utvecklade infrastrukturen på ön. Men i söder är ganska glesa flora och ökenlandskap baksidan av torrt, varmt väder.

Den norra delen av ön har fuktigt klimat och frekvent nederbörd. Cirka 80 % av nederbörden koncentrerad över Teneriffa faller här. Men till skillnad från södra sidan är det ingen brist på tropisk vegetation. Inte mindre turister lockas av skönheten med naturliga vulkaniska svarta sandstränder, lyxig natur, vintergröna skogar och fantastiska växter.

Februari semester

Teneriffa är ett bra ställe för en lugn och romantisk tillflyktsort för dem som är trötta på storstadens ändlösa liv.

Fördelar

Om en syftet med vilan– viljan att ta en paus från bullret och njuta av naturen, utan strand och utomhusaktiviteter passar öns norra städer bäst.

Om du gillar utomhusaktiviteter och bad i havet, gillar du bullriga diskotek och all sorts underhållning, åk då till södra Teneriffa.

Oförändrat för båda delarna av ön plus kommer vara:

Chans se den legendariska karnevalenäger rum på Teneriffa i februari;

Bra tillfälle att träna vattensporter, inklusive surfing;

En idealisk semestermånad för dem som gillar inte värme;

Minskat flöde av turister– möjligheten att besöka museer och öar utan enorma köer.

Hur klär man sig?

Om du planerar enbart strandsemester i de södra semesterorterna på ön, lätta klänningar, badkläder, shorts och T-shirts. För en kvällspromenad och middag i frisk luft behöver kvinnor en kofta och män – en lätt tröja eller jacka. Från skor är det bättre att ta balettlägenheter, öppna skor eller lätta stövlar. Hattar och solglasögon är ett måste.

För resan i norr eller i bergen, ta en varm vindtät jacka eller vindjacka, varma byxor eller jeans. Vi rekommenderar att ta med löparskor eller andra slutna skor. För en utflykt till toppen är en varm sportdräkt lämplig.

Vissa restauranger på ön har klädkod, så du behöver kläder med stängda ärmar, byxor eller en klänning och stängda skor.

Glöm inte dokument, kontanter, mediciner och nödvändig utrustning – en kamera och en telefon. Nästan alla hotell och restauranger på ön har ett trådlöst nätverk. WIFI.

Ladda ner nödvändiga kartor till din telefon eller surfplatta i förväg för att inte använda ofördelaktig internationell trafik. Förresten, det är bekvämare och mer lönsamt att beställa biljetter till utflykter och museer via Internet.

Vad ska man göra på ön den här månaden?

När som helst på året, inklusive i februari, har Teneriffa mycket underhållning för alla smaker.

strandsemester

Bekväm februari på stränderna på ön är endast möjligt i söder. Luft- och vattentemperaturer bidrar till att spendera tid på havet, men allt beror på flödets natur, som dominerar vid denna tidpunkt i havet.

Varje lätt bris kan förstöra badupplevelsen om lufttemperaturen är under genomsnittet.

Men vinden skrämmer inte många turister alls, det är många semesterfirare på stränderna i februari.

Turer

Teneriffas utflyktsprogram är rikt på båda sidor om bergskedjan. Ägna din vinterresa åt att se det bästa attraktioneröar.

För anhängare av en aktiv livsstil erbjuder Spanien alla typer av vattensporter– från fiske och båtturer till djuphavsdykning, samt dykning och surfing.

Högtider

2 februari – Vår Fru av Candelarias dag. Den här dagen hålls en storstilad gudstjänst på ön. Dagen präglas av många fritidsaktiviteter och dans.

Den huvudsakliga semestern på ön är den berömda Karneval på Teneriffa, oftast passerar på slutet. Karnevalen börjar med valet av drottningen, och sedan hålls en storstilad kostymprocession, full av klara färger.

Paraden är också oförändrad, ackompanjerad av fyrverkerier och en ljusshow, där både lokala invånare och gäster på ön deltar.

Karnevalen varar ungefär två veckor. Hela tiden ackompanjeras karnevalen av dans och brandfester i alla hörn av ön.

Se i den här videon vilka väderförhållanden som väntar dig i februari på Teneriffa:

Semester på Teneriffa är intressant när som helst på året. Men ändå, under högsäsong, undviker vissa sofistikerade turister att komma hit. Många turister, trånga stränder och höga priser faller inte alla i smaken. Det finns många anledningar att åka på en turné på Teneriffa under lågsäsong.

Först, utan tvekan, låga priser. Efter högsäsong slutar vissa hotell att fungera ett tag, medan andra drastiskt sänker rumspriserna för att inte gå med förlust. Turer på Teneriffa i februari är ett utmärkt val för dem som gillar att spara pengar.

Hotell på Teneriffa är av hög kvalitet, det finns representanter för världens linjer. Hotell har ibland animatörer med program för barn och vuxna.

För det andra, en trevlig atmosfär av avkoppling. Det finns inga rastlösa mängder av turister, inga köer till attraktioner, gatorna är nästan tomma – du kan koppla av och tillbringa din semester i nästan fullständig avskildhet.

För det tredje kulturprogrammet. Sällsynta orter under lågsäsong helt “dör ut”, de blir centrum för kulturlivet. Teneriffa i februari är inget undantag. Vid denna tidpunkt hålls olika festivaler, konserter, utställningar här. Museer och attraktioner fungerar också enligt schemat. En turné till Teneriffa i februari kommer särskilt att tilltala äldre människor.

Alla lyckas inte komma ut på semester i den klassiska säsongen för honom – sommaren. Men det är också möjligt att tillbringa ett par veckor med stor nöje under vinterhalvåret. Och för detta är det inte nödvändigt att åka till heta länder. Den kanariska skärgårdens pärla Teneriffa kommer att möta sina gäster med solsken och måttlig värme. Ta reda på i turnékalendern vad den här ön är bra för i februari.

Vädret på Teneriffa i februari

Kanske är Teneriffa en av få platser på jorden vars visitkort inte är något annat än klimatet. Ön tillhör Spanien, men tillhör geografiskt den afrikanska kontinenten, som ligger inte långt från Västsahara och Marocko. Vädret här bestäms av att vara i den subtropiska klimatzonen, men det är aldrig riktigt varmt. Dessutom, enligt NASAs rymdbyrå, är lokala väderförhållanden de mest gynnsamma på planeten för människor i absolut alla ålderskategorier. Och även för dig som har problem med hjärtat och blodkärlen. Hemligheten ligger i det faktum att Teneriffa faktiskt har så många som 28 mikroklimatiska zoner. En sådan kontinent i miniatyr. Allt handlar om originaliteten i ölandskapet, som består av slätter, lågland, öknar och höga bergskedjor. Vintrarna är särskilt milda, vid den här tiden på året, på dagtid, faller termometern inte under +20 °C. Därför är det inte konstigt att många turister strömmar hit för att värma sig från kylan och njuta av den milda solen. Komfortmässigt är februari nästan identisk med januari. När du kommer hit den här månaden möter du den riktiga våren. Och för invånarna i vissa hörn av det stora Ryssland är det här sommar överhuvudtaget. De flesta resenärer stannar i de södra regionerna.

Och inte bara för att hela turistinfrastrukturen är koncentrerad där, utan för att det är mycket fler “torra” dagar där. I allmänhet är söder och norr polära motsatser. De norra regionerna är regnigare och tar upp cirka 80 % av all nederbörd. De nordostatlantiska passadvindarna kommer hit, som inte har tillgång till söder på grund av en kollision med bergskedjorna som ligger i den centrala delen (deras sluttningar är täckta av snö denna månad). Som ett resultat, i februari, regnar här cirka 6-7 dagar, och i söder – 3-5 dagar. I huvudstaden, vid lunchtid, värms luften upp till +20 ° C, men när skymningen tjocknar sjunker termometern till +14 ° C, så tillsammans med lätta saker måste du ta en tjock tröja eller vindjacka med dig. Puerto de la Cruz ligger i ett lågland, på kvällarna behöver du en varm jacka – cirka +12 °C. Under dagen, inte mer än +18 ° C. Det kommer inte att vara möjligt att sola, eftersom solen sällan kommer fram bakom molnen, och skurar markerar i genomsnitt 8 dagar. Men var man kan få en vacker solbränna är ganska verkligt, så det är i Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje och Las Americas. Det dagliga temperaturintervallet på dessa orter är +14..+15 °C och +20..+21 °C, medan på fina dagar – upp till 6,5 timmars solsken.

Först och främst åker människor till “den eviga vårens ö” för Atlantens vänliga azurblå vatten. Men vi vågar erkänna att en strandsemester i februari inte kan kallas fullfjädrad, eftersom att bada i vattnet är ganska coolt. Och i princip är semesterfirare begränsade till en liggande på en solstol. Mer aktiva individer behärskar surfing och dykning, eftersom du alltid kan ta på dig en våtdräkt. En bra kompromiss för icke-sportiga turister är kanske en spännande kryssning på en yacht eller en tur på en katamaran – för att betrakta de förtrollande landskapen, och om du har tur kommer allt att krönas med ett möte med valar och delfiner . I allmänhet är vintern bra för kontemplativ tidsfördriv och meditativa förnimmelser från att kommunicera med orörd natur, såväl som sightseeing, som det finns en myriad av. Nöjesparker slutar inte fungera, så barn och deras föräldrar kommer att ha något att diversifiera sin fritid.

strandsemester

Som du redan förstått av ovanstående är en badsemester i februari “halt”. Det går inte på något sätt att jämföra med vad som observeras på sommaren, trots att det inte är någon större skillnad i vattentemperaturer. Om den i augusti når +23..+24 °C, under vinterns sista månad, noterar meteorologer +19 °C. Det största obehaget levereras inte så mycket av uppfriskande vatten som av otillräckligt uppvärmd luft. Faktum är att deras temperaturer är i nivå. Och varje liten bris ger en känsla av kyla. Om vi jämför februaritemperaturregimen för Atlanten och Medelhavet, så är detta, som de säger, himmel och jord. Men om vi drar en parallell med Miami, med vilken Teneriffa ligger på samma latitud, så sker utanför kusten av den första simsäsongen vid +24 ° C. En sådan enorm skillnad förklaras av den kalla kanariska strömmen som flyter nära ön. Men för vissa hårda invånare i de nordiska länderna är detta inte på något sätt skrämmande.

De ägnar sig ganska fritt åt vattennöjen och verkar ha stor glädje av det. Det enda som ibland stoppar dem är stora vågor. Om de på sommaren huvudsakligen råder i norr och på El Medanos sydöstra strand, på vilken vindarna blåser cirka 300 dagar om året, så stiger de ofta på sydkusten på vintern. Detta uppmuntrar dock bara surfare, för vilka höga vågor är nyckeln till ett gott humör. Det är tystast på Costa Adeje, Las Americas och Los Cristianos, läsidan gömd bakom bergen. Hur som helst så är det bättre att hyra ett hotell eller en villa med uppvärmd pool. Även om du inte klassar dig själv som en värmeälskande semesterfirare, kommer det att hjälpa dig att inte bli gisslan av dåligt väder.

Underhållning och utflykter

Teneriffa är en fantastisk plats för nyfikna turister. Även på vintern hålls utflykter regelbundet. Totalt finns det cirka 200 olika rutter, åtföljda av rysktalande guider. Så det är inte svårt att föreställa sig hur fantastiskt det är. Men även i februari, som hör till lågsäsongen, “bitar” priserna för dem från värdlandet (om du reser på ett resepaket). Hos lokala företag kostar de nästan 2-2,5 gånger billigare och allt är i sin ordning med organisationen där. Så res på en budget så mycket som möjligt. Som regel är det vanligt att börja bekanta sig med något nytt land eller ö med ett besök i huvudstaden. Det är anmärkningsvärt att Santa Cruz de Tenerife är intressant främst för shopaholics. De går till Plaza La Candelaria och Calle de Castillo. Faktum är att staden förtjänar en mer detaljerad studie. Flera dussin museer är koncentrerade på dess territorium, vars utställningar berättar om Kanarieöarnas historia och kultur. Du bör definitivt titta in i kyrkan Iglesia La Concepción. Det är känt för det faktum att Conquistadors heliga kors, avbildat på öns vapen, hålls inom dess väggar. Härifrån är det bekvämt att ta sig till den berömda Loro Parque i Puerto de la Cruz. Han blev känd för världens största samling av papegojor. Det finns cirka 300 arter i samlingen.

Tillsammans med dem är delfiner avbildade på djurparkens logotyp. Varje dag kan du se förtrollande shower med delfiner, späckhuggare, pälssälar och, naturligtvis, papegojor. Det kommer att ta en hel dag för en lugn promenad genom parken och besöka föreställningarna. Eftersom du redan är i norr, ansök inte om att titta in i Pueblo Chico Park – ett stort komplex som har samlat på sitt territorium många miniatyrkopior och modeller av naturmonument, byggnader, historiska centra, bymotiv från hela Teneriffa. I allmänhet är det bäst att komma hit efter en bra tur runt ön, efter att ha rest den upp och ner. Sedan, efter att ha sett originalet, kan du lätt känna igen dess layout. Atlanten förtjänar en separat linje. Alla sådana människor kommer till Teneriffa och känner inte till dess kraft och skönhet – en oförlåtlig försummelse. Detta kan göras på olika sätt. Vissa finner gemenskap med honom genom att fiska, dyka eller tämja vågorna. Andra föredrar segling. En utgång till det öppna havet och en promenad längs kusten (den vanliga sydvästra, den tystaste under den kalla årstiden) kommer att komma ihåg av dig i många år. Nära Los Gigantes-bukten finns havsviddernas kungar, valar och vackra delfiner.

Kristnandet av Kanarieöarna skedde i samband med erövringen av ögruppen.^[1]Guancher var ursprungsbefolkningen på Kanarieöarna; deras religion var polyteistisk. Kristnandet leddes initialt av normandiska missionsmunkar och sedan av franciskaner och dominikaner.

Det förekommer kristna element i Kanarieöarnas västra delar. Exempel på detta är två Mariabilder, Jungfrun av Candelaria på Teneriffa (skyddshelgon för Kanarieöarna) och Jungfrun av Las Nieves (skyddshelgon för La Palma).^[1]

Kort efter erövringen av Teneriffa skapades ett stift på ön.^[2]

Cristóbal Bencomo y Rodríguez var biktfader åt kung Ferdinand VII av Spanien och ärkebiskop av Heraclea. Bencomo var den drivande kraften bakom skapandet av Teneriffa katolska stift.

Alonso Fernández de Lugo försökte att flytta stiftets högkvarter från Las Palmas de Gran Canaria till San Cristóbal de La Laguna.^[3] En kort tid senare, efter erövringen av Kanarieöarna, blev Teneriffa den mest bebodda ön och La Laguna den viktigaste staden på Kanarieöarna. Fernández de Lugo, som hade fått titeln “Kanarieöarnas adelantado” av Spaniens kung.^[3]

Strax efter, försökte han att dela stiftets säte mellan Las Palmas och La Laguna men det föll inte i god jord.^[3]

Under 1500-, 1600- och 1700-talen blomstrade det kontemplativa och religiösa livet. Vid denna tid föddes Pedro de Betancur och Jose de Anchieta, Kanarieöarnas två inhemska helgon. Båda två anses vara bland de största missionärerna i Latinamerika. En annan framstående religiös personlighet som också föddes vid denna tidpunkt är nunnan María de León Bello y Delgado (La Siervita).

Den 1 februari 1819 skapades Teneriffas katolska stift genom att de västra delarna av Kanarieöarna bröts ut ur det tidigare enda stiftet för ögruppen, Kanarieöarnas katolska stift. En avgörande roll i detta skede spelade Cristóbal Bencomo y Rodríguez, som var biktfader åt kung Ferdinand VII av Spanien.^[4] och titulärärkebiskop av Heraclea.^[4]

År 1875 genomfördes ett misslyckat försök att åter slå ihop de två stiften. Efter detta misslyckades flera försök att tillsätta en ny biskop, och slutligen utnämndes Ildefonso Infante y Macías 1877.^[2]

Skyddshelgon för stiftet är Jungfrun av Los Remedios (Virgen de los Remedios).^[5] samt Ferdinand III av Kastilien och Elisabet av Portugal.

The weather in Tenerife in February will pleasantly surprise you!

Tenerife is an island in the Canary Islands archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean. Tenerife is called the island of “eternal spring”. And this is quite justified. The weather here is warm all year round and therefore tourists visit the island every month. The subject of this article is the amazing weather in Tenerife in February.

For more clarity, we bring to your attention a graph that reflects the average values of air and water temperatures over the past three years.

It is clearly seen that the water temperature is 19-20 degrees, which is almost always higher than the night temperature. That is, during the night the water does not have time to cool at least to the air temperature. So, on average, at night the thermometer shows 16-18 degrees, and during the day – 19-21 degrees. Thus, the weather in Tenerife in February is truly spring.

Climate conditions in Tenerife in February

Unfortunately, there are few clear and sunny days on the island in February. As a rule, meteorologists refer to the February weather as “partly cloudy” or “cloudy”. Precipitation in the form of rain is possible 1-2 times a month. At such times, the flow of tourists decreases. However, this does not mean that they do not exist. After all, the spring weather during the Russian winter will certainly cheer you up and give you strength and cheerfulness. If you decide to visit the island in early spring, we advise you to read the article about the weather in Tenerife in March.

To find out the temperature range for each day of the month based on meteorological data for the last 3 years, please refer to the table below. It reflects the dynamics of air temperature day and night, as well as the dynamics of ocean temperature during February.

Weather in Tenerife in February

Perhaps Tenerife is one of the few places on earth whose hallmark is nothing more than the climate. The island belongs to Spain, but geographically belongs to the African continent, being located not far from Western Sahara and Morocco. The weather here is determined by being in the subtropical climate zone, but it is never really hot. Moreover, according to the NASA space agency, local weather conditions are the most favorable on the planet for people of absolutely all age categories. And even for those who have problems with the heart and blood vessels. The secret lies in the fact that in fact Tenerife has as many as 28 microclimatic zones. Such a continent in miniature. It’s all about the originality of the island landscape, which consists of plains, lowlands, deserts and high mountain ranges. Winters are especially mild; at this time of the year, during the daytime, the thermometer does not fall below +20 °C. Therefore, it is not surprising that many tourists flock here to warm up from the cold and soak up the gentle sun. In terms of comfort, February is almost identical to January. Coming here this month, you meet the real spring. And for the inhabitants of some corners of vast Russia, this is summer at all. Most travelers stop in the southern regions.

And not only because the entire tourist infrastructure is concentrated there, but because there are much more “dry” days there. In general, south and north are polar opposites. The northern regions are rainier, taking on about 80% of all precipitation. The northeast Atlantic trade winds enter here, which do not have access to the south due to a collision with the mountain ranges lying in the central part (this month their slopes are covered with snow). As a result, in February, rains here are about 6-7 days, and in the south – 3-5 days. In the capital, by lunchtime, the air warms up to +20 ° C, but as dusk thickens, the thermometer drops to +14 ° C, so along with light things, you will have to take a thick sweater or windbreaker with you. Puerto de la Cruz lies in a lowland, in the evenings you will need a warm jacket – about +12 °C. During the day, no more than +18 ° C. It will not be possible to sunbathe, since the sun rarely comes out from behind the clouds, and showers mark an average of 8 days. But where to get a beautiful tan is quite real, so it’s in Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje and Las Americas. The daily temperature range at these resorts is +14. .+15 °C and +20..+21°C, while on fine days – up to 6.5 hours of sunshine.

What is interesting in Tenerife in February?

First of all, people go to the “island of eternal spring” for the sake of the friendly azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean. But we dare to admit that in February a beach holiday cannot be called full-fledged, since swimming in the water is quite cool. And basically vacationers are limited to one reclining on a sun lounger. More active individuals master surfing and diving, since you can always put on a wetsuit. A good compromise for non-sporting tourists, perhaps, will be an exciting cruise on a yacht or a trip on a catamaran – to contemplate the enchanting landscapes, and if you’re lucky, everything will be crowned with a meeting with whales and dolphins. In general, winter is good for contemplative pastime and meditative sensations from communicating with pristine nature, as well as sightseeing, of which there are a myriad. Amusement parks do not stop working, so children and their parents will have something to diversify their leisure time.

Beach holiday

As you already understood from the above, a beach holiday in February is “lame”. It can in no way be compared with what is observed in the summer, despite the fact that there is no big difference in water temperatures. If in August it reaches +23..+24 °C, then in the last month of winter, meteorologists record +19 °C. The main discomfort is delivered not so much by invigorating water as by insufficiently heated air. In fact, their temperatures are on par. And any small breeze gives a feeling of cold. If we compare the February temperature regime of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, then this, as they say, is heaven and earth. But if we draw a parallel with Miami, with which Tenerife lies on the same latitude, then off the coast of the first swimming season takes place at +24 ° C. Such a huge difference is explained by the cold Canary current flowing near the island. However, for some hardened residents of the Nordic countries, this is in no way intimidating.

They quite freely indulge in water pleasures and seem to get great pleasure from it. The only thing that sometimes stops them is big waves. If in summer they mainly prevail in the north and on the southeast beach of El Medano, on which the winds blow about 300 days a year, then in winter they often rise on the south coast. However, this only encourages surfers, for whom high waves are the key to a good mood. It’s quietest on Costa Adeje, Las Americas and Los Cristianos, the lee side hidden behind the mountains. Be that as it may, it is better to rent a hotel or a villa with a heated pool. Even if you do not classify yourself as a heat-loving holiday-makers, it will help you not to become a hostage of bad weather.

Entertainment and excursions

Tenerife is a great place for curious tourists. Even in winter, excursions are held on a regular basis. In total, there are about 200 different routes, accompanied by Russian-speaking guides. So it’s not hard to imagine how amazing it is. But even in February, which belongs to the low season, the prices for them from the host country (if you are traveling on a tour package) “bite”. At local companies, they cost almost 2-2.5 times cheaper, and everything is in order with the organization there. So travel on a budget as much as possible. As a rule, it is customary to start acquaintance with any new country or island with a visit to the capital. It is noteworthy that Santa Cruz de Tenerife is interesting mainly for shopaholics. They go to Plaza La Candelaria and Calle de Castillo. In fact, the city deserves a more detailed study. Several dozen museums are concentrated on its territory, whose exhibits tell about the history and culture of the Canary Islands. You should definitely look into the Church of Iglesia La Concepción. It is known for the fact that the Holy Cross of the Conquistadors, depicted on the coat of arms of the island, is kept within its walls. From here it is convenient to get to the famous Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz. He became famous for the world’s largest collection of parrots. There are about 300 species in the collection.

Along with them, dolphins are depicted on the logo of the zoo. Every day you can see enchanting shows with dolphins, killer whales, fur seals and, of course, parrots. It will take a whole day for a leisurely walk through the park and visit the performances. Since you are already in the north, do not use to look into the Pueblo Chico Park – a vast complex that has collected on its territory many miniature copies and models of natural monuments, buildings, historical centers, village motifs from all over Tenerife. In general, it is best to come here after a good ride around the island, having traveled it up and down. Then, having seen the original, you can easily recognize its layout. The Atlantic Ocean deserves a separate line. All such people come to Tenerife and not know its power and beauty – an unforgivable omission. This can be done in different ways. Some find communion with him through fishing, scuba diving, or taming the waves. Others prefer yachting. An exit to the open ocean and a walk along the coast (the usual southwestern, the quietest in the cold season) will be remembered by you for many years. Near the bay of Los Gigantes, the kings of the ocean expanses, whales, and handsome dolphins are found.

Holidays and festivals

No matter what weather Tenerife meets you in February, the mood will still be one hundred percent, because it is in this month that the largest carnival in all of Europe is held here. With its scope and colorful performances, it is quite capable of competing with the carnival in Brazil. The festivities affect the whole island, but still the main celebrations take place in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

What are the prices for holidays in Tenerife in February?

The cost of February tours on the Russian market has been significantly reduced, but it is better to book them in advance, then the prices will be much more attractive. Hotels also please with pleasant rates. The only thing is that during the carnival period there can be a big stir in the capital, due to which cheap rooms will be unavailable.

Current satellite and rain images for Tenerife, Spain

The location marker is placed on Tenerife. [More]

The real-time satellite image combines visible light during daytime with infrared radiation during nighttime. At night, the image is not dark as infrared radiation can detect temperature differences. Unfortunately, low clouds and fog are difficult to distinguish from ground temperatures and thus can be almost invisible during the night. Meteosat satellite images for Europe are updated in real-time every 5 minutes. GOES-16/GOES-17 (North & South America) and Himawari (Asia) images update every 10 minutes.

Precipitation is estimated from radar and satellites. At night precipitation estimates from satellites are less accurate than during daytime. Orange crosses mark places where lightning was detected (over Europe).

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain – Weather forecast & Hourly Temperature

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is also commonly referred to as Santa Cruz, and it is the capital city of the Tenerife Island which is located within the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province. As a major city in its province, it serves as the capital city of the Canary Islands, together with Las Palmas. Almost a half of the population of the Tenerife Island is found within Santa Cruz de Tenerife, making its city and urban area the second-largest of all the cities in the Canary Islands region.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife has a beautiful location off the northwest part of the African coast, within Tenerife’s northeastern quadrant, on the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks to this, the city stands as the active hub for communication between Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
The cityscape of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a rich blend of ancient and modern architecture, resulting in an attractive setting and contrast. The magnificent Mercado Nuestra Senora de Africa stands might in its marble and stone design and is a representation of the ancient structures in the city. The same goes for the intricately-designed sand-and-stone Puente Serrador tower.
The tall Torres de Santa Cruz is among the modern skyscraper architecture in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and the same goes for stunning and majestic Auditorio de Tenerife. The Plaza de Espana is Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s largest public squares and has a beautiful location at the heart of the city. One other unifying structure is the Iglesia Matriz de la Concepcion, the firmly-founded Catholic Church with its sweeping five naves.
Today, apart from being the central economic, educational, cultural, and historical hub of its region, Santa Cruz de Tenerife remains a crucial tourist attraction destination, not only in its region but across the Canary Islands as well. On top of that, the city is considered among the top five most natural and best places to live in the world.

When to visit Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Santa Cruz de Tenerife experiences a semi-arid climate of BSh under the Köppen climatic classification. In general, the weather is characterized by extremely hot, humid, and dry summers and warm and pleasant, moderately wet winters. There is ample sunshine throughout the years, and extremely low temperature is very rare.
Summer has the mercury expanding to as high as 33°C (91. 4°F) on the hottest of days, but the daily mean high temperature remains 28.5°C (83.3°F). The nights are cool, and the extended daylight hours offer a chance to venture into the nightlife of the city.
Winter has the most tolerable weather of the year. The temperature is in the highs of 23.5°C (74.3°F) and lows of 15.8°C (60.4°F), with extremely rare cases of very cold days or nights.
Thankfully for its steady warm temperature across the year, Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a year-round travel destination. However, the highest numbers of visitors check-in between December and March, during winter and the onset of spring. This period has the best weather of the year for outdoor ventures since it is devoid of the exceedingly scorching, very humid, and utterly dry summer days. Most of the attended events in the city also happen to occur around this time.
The Carnaval Festival between February and March is among the most attended events in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, as is the Festival Internacional de Musica de Canarias that is usually held between January and February.

Tenerife weather – Advartis Tenerife Property

Weather in Tenerife

The greatest contrast occurs during the winter, when you can sunbathe on almost any beach in Tenerife, whilst resting your gaze on the snow-capped peak of Mount Teide, just a few kilometres away. It snows quite hard every year in Las Canadas and the surrounding area – about two thousand metres above sea level.

See the latest weather forecast and current conditions for Tenerife airports:

Tenerife South Airport weather

Tenerife North Airport weather

There are also many other contrasts in climate to be seen. Santa Cruz de Tenerife usually enjoys warm weather all year round. If you travel from Santa Cruz to the centre of La Laguna – the university city of Tenerife – in winter, you would be wise to take some light but warm clothing with you because temperatures can drop sharply in just a dozen kilometres and you may even find it is raining.

The North and the South of the Tenerife

The North and the South of the Tenerife also have different climatic conditions. There are more hours of sun all year in the South and more rainfall and higher humidity in the North, which explains the different landscapes and tones of the countryside, although both climates can be considered ideal within the mild and moderate climate we have already mentioned.

In fact, 19th century doctors – English and Dutch mainly – recommended the North of Tenerife as the ideal natural cure for several diseases related to the ravages of age and circulation problems.

In short, the high temperatures one would expect in Tenerife from its proximity to the Tropic of Cancer and the Sahara Dessert, are softened by the influence of the sea and the cold Canary current. On the other hand, the altitude of the island causes a marked variation in temperature with altitude.

Winter in Tenerife south

From November till February, there is a slight drop in the average high temperature . This starts at 21°C in November and falls down to the high teens – 18-19°C in December, January and February. Night times become refreshingly cool, the average low temperature dropping down to 14°C in December, 11°C in January and 13°C in February. November and December are the wettest months on Tenerife and if they occur, thunderstorms can often be quite violent affairs: thick walls of rain pounding down causing flash floods. However, showers are usually short-lived. Sunshine does lessen during the winter; in November, January and February only 9 hours of sunshine are to be expected each day – this drops to just 7 in December. However, this average figure is often spread out over whole days of sun interspersed by slightly wet, cloudier days.

Spring in Tenerife south

Spring – the months of March and April – see an average temperature of 17°C, which is calculated from the average high of 19°C and an average low of 15°C. Tenerife is known as the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’ due to its consistently warm temperatures. This is partly due to the moderating northeast trade winds which keep conditions pleasant, as does the low level of humidity which remains throughout the whole year.
April, however, is slightly wetter than the summer months about to follow, with around 22mm of rainfall at this time.

Summer in Tenerife south

From May till August Tenerife will hit the 20s with the average high temperature peaking in August at 24°C. Night time temperatures usually linger around 20-22°C. The sea is warm but refreshing in the low 20s, perfect for scuba diving amongst the islands coral reef. The number of hours of sunshine per day is very high at 11 or 12 hours on average. Tenerife is always relatively dry; from June till August a total of 9mm of rainfall is expected. Rain usually falls in short showers and does not cause much of a problem. The end of the season is often subject to calimas, spells of hot dry weather blown over from the Sahara by the sirocco wind which often brings sand and dust storms onto the islands. The best months of the year to go swimming off the coast of south Tenerife in summer are probably July and August as the sea temperature stays around 22°C to 23°C.

Autumn in Tenerife south

In autumn, which can be described as the months of September and October, the temperature begins to fall, but only slightly to 22°C and 21°C.
The temperature of the sea water is still high at 23°C. Hours of sunlight are usually around 10-11 hours at this time of the year, before it drops to 9 hours in November. Light showers are more common in these months of the year after the months of summer dryness, but the levels are so low at only 3-9mm.

Actual water temperature close to shore may vary by several degrees compared to the indicated values. This can be noticeable after heavy rain or after long periods of strong winds. Some downwinds cause cold deep waters to replace surface waters that have been heated by the sun.

To develop a forecast, we use our own mathematical model, which takes into account the current change in water temperature, historical data and main weather trends, wind strength and direction, air temperature in each specific region. We also consider data for other resorts in Spain.

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.

Tenerife experiences significant seasonal variation in the perceived humidity.

The muggier period of the year lasts for 4.5 months, from June 23 to November 7, during which time the comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable at least 11% of the time. The month with the most muggy days in Tenerife is September, with 12.5 days that are muggy or worse.

The month with the fewest muggy days in Tenerife is February, with 0.1 days that are muggy or worse.

The beach/pool score (filled area), and its constituents: the temperature score (red line), the cloud cover score (blue line), and the precipitation score (green line).

Methodology

For each hour between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM of each day in the analysis period (1980 to 2016), independent scores are computed for perceived temperature, cloud cover, and total precipitation. Those scores are combined into a single hourly composite score, which is then aggregated into days, averaged over all the years in the analysis period, and smoothed.

Our cloud cover score is 10 for fully clear skies, falling linearly to 9 for mostly clear skies, and to 1 for fully overcast skies.

Our precipitation score, which is based on the three-hour precipitation centered on the hour in question, is 10 for no precipitation, falling linearly to 9 for trace precipitation, and to 0 for 0. 04 inches of precipitation or more.

Our tourism temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 50°F, rising linearly to 9 for 65°F, to 10 for 75°F, falling linearly to 9 for 80°F, and to 1 for 90°F or hotter.

Our beach/pool temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 65°F, rising linearly to 9 for 75°F, to 10 for 82°F, falling linearly to 9 for 90°F, and to 1 for 100°F or hotter.

Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere).

Temperatures in Tenerife are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year.

The percentage of time spent in various temperature bands. The black line is the percentage chance that a given day is within the growing season.

Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. In this report, we use a base of 50°F and a cap of 86°F.

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.

We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

Tenerife is the largest island of the Canary Islands and lies in the Atlantic Ocean. The volcanic island is home to about 910,000 inhabitants, the capital is Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the northeast of the island.

The official language is Spanish, the official currency is the Euro. Tenerife has an area of over 1200 square miles and is divided into three regions.

The metropolitan region around the capital Santa Cruz is the economic centre of the island, with a large harbour and the old town of La Laguna, which has been declared a World Heritage Site.

The south of the island is the most important region for tourism, Los Christanos and Playa de las Américas are the tourist centres here.

Climate in Tenerife

The climate on Tenerife is very pleasant all year round, not without reason one speaks of the “island of eternal spring”. However, there are regional differences due to the influence of the northeastern trade wind. In the north of Tenerife lies the coast facing the wind, while the south lies in the wind-protected area.

It is therefore not a rare phenomenon that the sun shines on one side of the island while the other half is shrouded in clouds. In general, however, Tenerife is considered to be extremely sunny, dry and pleasant with an oceanic-tropical climate.

In summer it is warm with daytime temperatures between 26 °C to 29 °C, even in winter the 20 °C mark is usually exceeded during the day. At night temperatures oscillate between 16 °C to 21 °C during the year. From the beginning of June to mid-December, the Atlantic has a pleasant annual water temperature of 20 °C to 23 °C (September).

When to visit Tenerife?

Tenerife is a true year-round destination and, together with the other Canary Islands, is also a popular refuge for sun-seekers in winter. It is dry all year round, most rain falls between December and February, but even these months with a maximum rainfall of 1.46 in are by no means considered rainy in the capital, for example.

However, we recommend the summer months as the best time to travel on Tenerife. The season starts around the end of April, and the travel season from the beginning of June to the end of October is particularly ideal. The warmest month of travel is August, the most hours of sunshine in Tenerife are statistically seen in July.

Tenerife Weather in August – It’s the hottest month of the year

Lago Martianez in Puerto de la Cruz – one of the best attractions to visit in August in Tenerife

August comes with full-on summer temperatures, very low chances of rain and long sunshine hours all over the island. Tenerife embraces the summer weather in August and attracts the crowds that are looking for a hot place in the sun, where they can sunbathe and swim all day long without having to worry about rain.

August is the hottest month of the year in Tenerife

If Tenerife in July was already hot, in August it becomes even hotter.

The south of Tenerife starts to feel like a desert almost, with extremely high temperatures during the daytime and virtually no rain, which makes it look arid and lifeless almost in some places. The beaches all around the island are filled with tourists and locals as well, while they all enjoy this perfect weather for swimming even in places that are not accessible at other times of the year.

If you want to escape the August heat in Tenerife South, we encourage you to go north to explore other places that are harder to visit during winter or spring. There are lots of hikes and trails that you can explore in the Anaga Rural Park and the dense laurel forest may provide shelter from the otherwise blazing sun.

Weather in Tenerife South in August

Tenerife South in August is all about time spent at the beach, at water parks and swimming in the sea while it’s still warm and pleasant.

During the summer months the water parks Aqua Land and Siam Park become very crowded with visitors, so be prepared to queue for most rides, even if you have a fast pass.

Advice for fast passes at Siam Park, especially during the months of July and August: if possible, arrive at the park early, as soon as it opens. Buy your fast pass when you get there, as they sell out fast. There are 2 types of fast passes: passes for mornings and passes for the afternoons. You should buy a fast pass for the afternoon slot and in the morning you can just regularly go on rides (without using a fast pass). The park tends to get busier after lunch anyway, and by that time you can use the fast pass you bought. This way you can make the most of your visit to Siam Park, especially when you are going in August, which is one of the busiest months at the park.

The weather in August in Tenerife South is mostly hot hot hot, with slim chances of rain, almost non-existent. This means that summer in the Canaries is a great season for outdoor explorations, as long as you remember to start your walks early and bring water with you and lots of sun cream. Climbing Montana Chayofita or hiking in Barranco del Infierno are two great options, easily accessible for everyone staying in the south, but we strongly recommend starting your hikes early in the mornings, before the sun heat starts to feel like burning. The thing is that most of these trails have absolutely no shaded areas, so the heat and the blazing sun will feel almost unbearable by lunchtime.

The south of Tenerife gets almost no drop of rain the entire month of August, so the landscape usually looks arid and barren, but none of that matters as everyone is attracted to the beaches anyway. Troya beach, Torviscas, Playa las Vistas, all get packed with tourists in August, mostly families with kids, taking advantage of the school summer holidays.

In the area of Las Americas and especially the Veronicas strip there are lots of young people coming for the nightclubs and parties on the beach, so it tends to get loud at night in those areas and music keeps on going ’till morning hours. So this not be the best place to stay in Tenerife if you are after a quiet holiday. Actually, for a chilled holiday in Tenerife, we would recommend that you avoid August altogether and if possible come in the second half of September, especially if you are looking for a romantic couple’s escape.

Temperatures in Tenerife in August

August is the hottest month in Tenerife, when days are long and warm, the sea gets warm as well and everyone lounges on the beach or by the pool with a cocktail in hand. The temperatures in August in Tenerife often go above 30°C during the daytime and nights are warm as well.

In Tenerife South, you can expect maximum temperatures around 33°C – 35°C (91.4°F – 95°F), and the area of Santa Cruz de Tenerife can be equally hot sometimes, with days of calima which can occur during this time of the year.

At night you can expect minimum temperatures around 20°C (68°F).

Record low & record high temperatures

The highest temperature ever recorded at the Tenerife South Airport station in August was 44.3°C (111.74°F) and the lowest was 17.1°C (62.78°F).

Rainfall

August is a dry month in Tenerife and the south hardly ever receives any rain.

Even in the North, the chances of precipitation are below 20% across the month, and even if it happens to rain it will be light rain or a drizzle, not the endless rains that fall sometimes in winter and even autumn/spring.

The last month of summer in Tenerife South almost comes with the guarantee of no rainy days, so don’t hesitate to book your holiday due to this concern.

Sunshine hours

Tenerife gets an average of 10.5 hours/day of sunshine in August. The sun continues to shine for long hours, which means that the weather in August in Tenerife is still perfect for sunbathing and swimming.

Sea temperature in August in Tenerife South

The average sea temperature in August in Playa de las Americas is 22.9°C / 73.2°F.

In Tenerife South, the ocean is just perfect for swimming in August. The natural pools around the island are also a pleasure to swim in and you should explore some of them, like Charco de la Laja, near San Juan de la Rambla.

Things to do in Tenerife in August

August is a busy month in Tenerife, so we recommend you to explore further from the busy south if you want to escape the crowds (as much as this is possible). The weather is usually so warm and nice in August that swimming is a MUST, even if you don’t spend the entire day at the beach. These are places we recommend visiting in August in Tenerife:

Garachico natural pools

Join the fun and the locals and swim in what are probably the most famous natural pools in Tenerife. It is not possible to swim in the natural pools of Garachico in winter, so so take advantage of the season and do it now.

Playa de Benijo

Playa de Benijo is a must-visit place in Tenerife, if you want to discover the island’s rugged beauty

One of the wildest and most photogenic beaches in Anaga, Playa de Benijo is one of the places you shouldn’t miss when visiting that part of Tenerife. The view at sunset is particularly beautiful and it is worth staying in the area for those special moments.

Lago Martiánez in Puerto de la Cruz

Similar to Parque Maritimo in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Lago Martianez is a collection of saltwater pools in a location designed by Cesar Manrique as well. There are 4 swimming pools for adults and 3 for children. Lago Martianez is particularly popular during the summer months, otherwise, the water might feel too cold for swimming for many visitors (the pools are filled with seawater every two days).

Events in August

Magic Nights at Siam Park in August

Lost City at Siam Park (the best waterpark not only in Tenerife but also in Spain)

UPDATE: In 2022, the event Siam Nights is once again organized, after a long absence due to the pandemic!

Only in July and August, do you get the chance to enjoy a special experience at Siam Park, one of the best water parks in Spain!

Magic Nights are usually organized only on Fridays and Saturdays of July and August and you can experience the same thrilling rides under the magic of the night in Tenerife South.

The truth about the weather and water temperature in Tenerife by months

Can’t decide when is the best time to go? The island of Tenerife is most comfortable to visit in spring or autumn. The tourist season (whose peak is July-August) subsides and crowds of tourists fly home, and the air temperature is still +25 +30°C. In winter, it is also good here, because you can swim almost all year round and go hiking.

To be honest, in any month of the year it is very nice and warm in the Canary Islands. And with our guides on what to see in Tenerife, your vacation will fly by unnoticed.

And in the northern part of Tenerife, the temperature in winter can drop to 10 ° C and the weather is often cloudy, there are rains.

Therefore, it is very important to watch the weather of the desired area, and not the average for the island.

Other days partly cloudy (10 days), cloudy or overcast. You need to be mentally prepared for unpleasant surprises in the form of cloudy days and ubiquitous rains, as it was in 2010 (a cloudy week is unlikely to be remembered in the “pleasant memories” column). Conclusion: it is better to grab an umbrella. Maybe you should wait out the May holidays in your homeland, and go to the Canary Islands at the beginning of summer? If you are visited by such thoughts, then we advise you to read the article about the weather in Tenerife in June.

We base comfort level on dew point, as it determines whether sweat will evaporate from the skin, cooling the body. A lower dew point makes you feel more dry, while a higher dew point makes you feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between day and night, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while temperatures may drop at night, a wet day usually gives way to a wet night.

Tenerife experiences significant seasonal fluctuations in perceived humidity levels.

Method

For each hour between 8:00 and 21:00 of each day in the analyzed period (from 1980 to 2016), independent scores are calculated for perceived temperature, cloudiness, and total precipitation. These scores are combined into a single hourly summary score, which is then combined into days, averaged over all years of the analyzed period, and smoothed.

Our cloud score of is 10 for completely clear skies, falling linearly to 9 for mostly clear skies and 1 for completely overcast skies.

Our precipitation score of , which is based on three-hour precipitation centered on the hour in question, is 10 for no precipitation, falling linearly to 9 for light precipitation, and to 0 for 1 millimeter precipitation or higher.

Our temperature score for tourism is 0 for perceived temperatures below 10 °C , increases linearly to 9 for 18 °C , to 10 for 24 °C , falls linearly to 9 for 27°C and up to 1 for 32°C or higher.

Our temperature score for beach/pool is 0 for perceived temperature below 18 °C , increasing linearly to 9 for 24 °C , to 10 for 28 °C , decreasing linearly to 9 for 32 ° C and up to 1 for 38 °C or higher.

Definitions of growing season vary around the world, but in the context of this description, we define it as the longest continuous period of temperatures above freezing (≥ 0°C) in a year (the Northern Hemisphere calendar year, or July 1 to 30 June in the Southern Hemisphere).

Temperatures in Tenerife are quite warm all year round, so there is no point in discussing the growing season on these terms. However, we include the graph below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures throughout the year.

Summer and winter

There is an established opinion that Tenerife is an island of eternal spring, where it is always warm, there are no significant temperature changes, the rainy season and other natural phenomena that can spoil the rest. And a natural question arises: “What is the difference between summer and winter in Tenerife?”

Of course there is a difference. Not as obvious as in Spain and even more so in Russia, but it exists.

Due to the mountain range that divides the island into two parts, the climate in Tenerife differs significantly in different parts of the island. In the south of Tenerife, the change of seasons is less noticeable than in the north.

Tenerife in summer

Summer in Tenerife is warm and dry, in the south of the island the temperature can be quite high – more than +30°C, but because of the dry air and pleasant ocean breeze, the heat is easily tolerated. Going to rest in Tenerife in the summer, you can not be afraid of bad weather – there is practically no rain at this time. More precisely, in the north of the island it rains occasionally, and the southern part of Tenerife always pleases with sunny weather. The island is located in such a way that the wind always blows on the coast, in some places it is stronger (El Medano), in others it is barely noticeable.

Tenerife in the summer is a great choice for those who love a beach holiday, the water in the ocean warms up quite well (up to + 24 ° C on the south coast) and you can enjoy swimming in the Atlantic Ocean and just basking on the beach.

Tenerife in winter

People come to Tenerife in winter, which is quite understandable, the air temperature is comfortable (+20°С – +24°С), the coastal water temperature of the Atlantic Ocean is also quite suitable for swimming. What then is the difference between Tenerife in summer and Tenerife in winter? First of all, Tenerife is warm in winter only when the sun is shining, after sunset it gets a little cool and you need warmer clothes (windbreaker, light jacket). Ocean water on the south coast drops to +19 in winter°С – +20°С, the ocean often storms, and the wind becomes stronger. And even in the south of Tenerife, it sometimes rains in winter. A significant difference in winter can be felt in the north of the island, where it is quite cold, cloudy and rainy. But this also has its advantages – nature in Tenerife comes to life in winter, everything around turns green and pleases with freshness and bright colors.

But one thing is certain – Tenerife is beautiful both in winter and in summer. You can relax here at any time of the year. A winter trip to Tenerife is a great chance to escape the cold and snow and enjoy the warmth, sun and sea.

Weather in Tenerife in December

December is a good time to visit the island of Tenerife during this period of time. From winter from mainland Europe and cold Russia at this time, fly to a miniature paradise on the island of eternal spring. The climate in December is mild, temperate, in the south the temperature is comfortable for swimming and sunbathing, in the north in Puerto de La Cruz in the evenings it is cooler than in the south and high humidity, precipitation in the form of rain can fall. During this period, the Teide volcano can become covered with snow, which makes it incredibly beautiful. Kalima is possible in December, then the wind intensifies and the temperature rises.

Great time of the year for hiking, and December is good for older people to relax, not as hot as in August. However, a light tan on your skin after a holiday in December will serve as a pleasant occasion to return to this period again, especially since it is good to celebrate the New Year here.

As for clothes, you will definitely need beach accessories, sun protection and warm light clothes for evening walks.

February

Weather in Tenerife in February

February will delight you with the Canarian sun and its warmth during the daytime hours. Without a doubt, this is a winter month and no one is immune from incoming cyclones, which sometimes happen, although this is rare, but still. The evenings are a bit cool, along with the morning hours, but when the sun rises and if it is not a cloudy day, the temperature rises to + 24 ° C in the shade and then you immediately need to go to the beach, because the Atlantic Ocean awaits you there, which has not had time to cool down up to 19degrees.

Those travelers who go to the Teide volcano should take jackets, pants or jeans, closed shoes, as it may well be tempting to walk on hardened volcanic lava, and possibly snow. Passing clouds and being at heights, you will stop at observation platforms where cold and sometimes piercing winds blow. This does not happen all the time, but quite often during this February period. In early February, almonds begin to bloom in the mountains, thereby making the beautiful landscapes even more beautiful.

Clothing on the south coast: in the evening it is better to have a light jacket, jacket or windbreaker with you, from 7 to 10 am it is quite fresh, so one T-shirt or dress may not be enough.

May

Tenerife weather in May

May is likely to be the beginning of the summer season, the feeling that summer has come is quite justified, the hot sun and warm morning breeze will speak for itself. The temperature of the ocean water after the winter period is still quite low and ranges from +20°C to 21°C. The climate begins to improve throughout the island, including in the north. Of course, it did not go wrong much, but nevertheless, it was cold in the mountains, and there was snow on the Teide volcano. Evenings at the resorts from February to March were not quite like summer, more like spring, because the island has its second name – “The Island of Eternal Spring – La isla de la eterna primavera”. In the morning, a refreshing sea breeze is possible from the ocean. In the daytime on the beach, the May sun burns without sparing. Do not forget about sunscreen, the refreshing sea breeze masks sunburn well.

If you have a choice in which part of the island to stay, then you can choose any resort, it will be comfortable everywhere, but who prefers more sunny days than cloudy ones, it is better to look towards Playa de Las Americas, Costa Adeje, Playa Paraiso or Callao Salvaje, including Puerto de Santiago and Los Gigantes. Who is not afraid of the winds and loves gently sloping beaches, then undoubtedly El Medano.

Climate in Tenerife

Tenerife – “The Island of Eternal Spring”, on the lips of the Spaniards it sounds like – “Isla de la Eterna Primavera”, fully justifying its name with a mild, temperate and favorable subtropical climate throughout the year.

There are several main reasons why there is no sultry cold and sweltering heat here:

Location on the same latitude as the Sahara desert, just three hundred kilometers from the African mainland and Morocco.

The Canarian current is a cold and subsequently moderately warm sea current that washes and cools the coastal air of the Canary archipelago, preventing high temperatures and hot winds from the desert.

The northern trade winds condense from the northern, northeastern part, sometimes forming a veil of very dense, dense clouds spreading at an altitude of 600 to 1800 meters.

The volcanic formation of the island, with its mountain range, retaining the cloudy mass of wet streams, and thereby absorbing moisture into itself, giving the island life and fresh water.

All the above facts give an average year-round temperature of +16 – 18ºС in the winter months and +25 – 28 ºС in the summer months.

Snow in Tenerife

Due to the great heights of the volcanic island of Tenerife, the best landscapes open up for us. Approximately from December to April, when the air in the high atmospheric layers drops to low values, cyclones occur annually and with them strong eddy currents of air masses. With great force, they lift water vapor particles (clouds) suspended in the atmosphere and, bringing them down on the Teide volcano, turn it into a white mass of ice and snow. And at this time, on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, there is a completely summer and comfortable climate for a favorable tan and swimming. And just a few kilometers away, at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level, there is snow and cold winds blowing.

Rains in Tenerife

Rains in the south

In the southern part of the island, precipitation is extremely rare during the year. In the areas where the resorts are located: Costa Adeje, Playa de Las Americas, Los Cristianos, Playa Paraiso, Callao Salvaje, we can confidently distinguish them as the driest or with the least precipitation per year. The weather in Tenerife pleases with a great abundance of sunny days and warmth, which has made it a favorite destination for travelers from all over the world.

Total precipitation (mm) 16.6 19.9 14.7 7.4 1.1 0.1 0.1 1.3 3.6 11.9 26.3 30.3

Rains in the north

73% of all rain falls in windward places in the north of about. Tenerife. The accumulation of thick clouds is not uncommon, as described above, due to the northern trade winds, which is why the entire northern part of the island differs significantly from the south in lush vegetation. The fauna and flora are much richer here.

In winter, from November to May, there is a significant temperature difference during the day between the south, north, west and east of Tenerife, and also depending on the difference in altitude. Be careful when you travel in shorts to another part of the island, the climate may not suit your dress code. If you choose your location in the city of Puerto de La Cruz, then the beauty of the north is better, but with the weather, how lucky. If you want to sunbathe and swim, then without a doubt the south.

Kalima

Kalima (Spanish: Calima) or simply haze is an atmospheric phenomenon consisting of hot, dusty atmospheric layers mixed with cool and humid air from the Atlantic Ocean. It manifests itself in the form of fog, where it reduces visibility and is deposited with a layer of dust on everything where this phenomenon occurs. It originates in the Sahara desert, in the region of northern Africa, from ongoing complex thunderstorms that lead to dust and sand storms, rising high for several kilometers.

Kalima occurs more often in the summer, warming up the air in the upper layers, sometimes raising the temperature column to 45 degrees in the highlands. The duration of Kalima can be up to 2 days and turn into protracted weeks, from weak to strong, when visibility is lost at a distance of one kilometer. Perhaps because of this, fires sometimes occur in the Canary Islands. In the coastal zone at this moment it is quite comfortable, as the cold Canary Current cools.

Does Kalima affect people and the quality of rest? – yes, it is quite possible to have an allergy or a runny nose, or you can not notice it at all, individually. If you are going on an excursion to the Teide volcano, then due to the strong Kalima, your excursion day may be ruined due to poor visibility and bad photos.

Tourist season in Tenerife
The truly magnificent climate of Tenerife allows you to go here throughout the year, even in winter, and not just like that, but with a bathing component. The island is replete with atypical landscapes, varying depending on its location, from immersed in fat greenery in the north to sun-kissed in the arid south. It is also attractive to the spoiled traveler with the cosmic poetics of solidified lava. In addition, Tenerife is also attractive for its stunning coastline with gorgeous beaches, banana plantations, excellent shops, restaurants and first-class hotels. Families with children come here, older people who prefer quieter resorts, as well as party youth going to noisy cities.
High season in Tenerife
While in Mallorca the peak season is in July and August, Tenerife’s tourist wave covers only in September and October. During these two months, the warmest water temperature of the Atlantic Ocean is observed. In addition to high prices and a large crowd of people, the high season has no drawbacks. After all, as you already understood, the weather on the island is never very hot.
Low season in Tenerife
Low season and Tenerife are incompatible concepts. But still, a slightly smaller number of tourists on the island happens from December to January and from March to April.

Beach season in Tenerife
Tenerife swims all year round, but this process will be most pleasant from April to November
It’s very simple: the swimming season on the island lasts all year round. And even in January, the minimum temperature of the water in the ocean will be 19°C This is really the “blue dream” of any average resident of Russia.
It’s time for the holidays in Tenerife
The islanders get real pleasure from the direct participation in the many holidays
At the end of every January, Tenerife hosts the music festival “De Música de Canarias”. Another highlight on the island is the “Holy Week” preceding Easter. At this time, many religious processions take place throughout the island. May is celebrated in all major cities and villages with the “Feast of the Cross”. In mid-June, at the Corpus Christi festival, locals lay out entire flower carpets on city streets. The Summer Solstice in Tenerife is associated with the feast of St. Juana is something like our Ivan Kupala with symbolic jumps over fires. August 14 and 15 are the two most significant days for all the Canary Islands, as they call the patron saint of the Canary Islands – Our Lady of Candelar. Christmas and New Year in Tenerife are, in general, home holidays. Some islanders at this time go out to the squares of the cities, have fun together, dance and enjoy the lights of colorful fireworks.
Carnival season in Tenerife
The winter carnival in Tenerife is world-famous
Those who find it difficult to imagine the significance and scope of the February carnival “Mardi Gras” in Tenerife, we will answer this way: with its pomp and scale, it is second only to the Brazilian Carnival. This real carnival fever absorbs absolutely all the cities of Tenerife, but, in particular, its capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The unbridled fun begins with the selection of the Queen of the Festival, and then continues with musical concerts, street entertainment, and the consumption of traditional Canarian dishes and drinks in large quantities. The festival ends with the beginning of Lent.
Climate in Tenerife
The climate in Tenerife is subtropical with warm weather throughout the year. However, weather conditions vary significantly depending on the location on the island. The south and west will be the warmest, while the northern tip will be coolest. It sometimes rains on the island, but there is no distinct wet season as such. Unless in December and January it rains a little more often. The difference in annual temperatures is insignificant: from 15 °C to 25 °C.
Tenerife in spring
Spring in Tenerife – warm, sunny, albeit a little rainy
Spring in Tenerife – in itself, this phrase is not associated with the season, but with the stable characteristic of the island. After all, as you know, spring is the year-round state of the island. So what is the weather like at this time? Partly rainy, with warm sunny days and slightly cool nights. During this period, there is a slow process of increasing the temperature of air and water – 21°C and 20°C, respectively. A wonderful time to visit Loro Parque, independent trips around the island and sunbathing.

The weather on the island is amazing in summer: not hot and very good
What makes summer in Tenerife so good is cool weather characterized by low humidity. Only 24°C-25°C at 22°C water temperature. Ideal “proportions” of a resort holiday. The level of solar activity reaches as much as 10 hours a day. But the sun is not aggressive, but, on the contrary, gentle. The central mountainous regions can be a bit rainy.

The water is still warm throughout the season, even though rainfall increases to an average of 8 rainy days. Autumn here is a very active time of the year, most of the tourists, wanting to avoid the gray dank autumn, fly here.

7 of the Hottest Cities in Spain

Spain

2 months ago8 min read

Think of Spain and sun, sand, and sangria all come to mind. Though there’s much more to Spain than that, the beautiful climate sure is a major draw for many visitors. In fact the warmest places in Spain are amongst the hottest parts of Europe.

Yet Spain has a much more varied climate than many people might realize. The north of the country sees a fair amount of rain and relatively mild high temperatures even in summer. Yet in the warmest places in Spain, temperatures regularly soar over 30 °C, and extreme highs can even climb into the 40 °Cs. As a general rule the hottest parts of Spain are located in the south of the country in the regions of Andalusia and Murcia.

Slap on some sunscreen and be sure to stay hydrated as we take a sweltering tour of seven of the hottest places in Spain.

Montoro

Most people would probably struggle to point out the small city of Montoro on a map of Spain. Home to just under 10,000 people, Montoro is about an hour’s drive from Seville and Malaga, located in the north of Andalusia. Situated overlooking the Guadalquivir River, Montoro is a pretty and historic city with roots stretching back to the Roman times. Montoro is also officially the warmest place in Spain.

In fact Montoro has set the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded in Spain twice in the space of five years. In July 2017 the temperature in the city hit a high of an almighty 47.3 °C, at the time the highest temperature ever recorded in the entire country. Just a few years later in 2021, Montoro shaded its own record as the city reached a new high of 47.4 °C.

Murcia

Murcia is the largest city in the region of Murcia, of which it is also the capital. The region of Murcia lies just to the east of Andalusia in the south of the country and is one of the warmest places in Spain. Sitting to the south and slightly inland from well-known tourist hotspots such as Benidorm and Alicante, Murcia is the seventh largest city in Spain and dates back to the 9^th century. The city also boasts a very warm climate, particularly in the summer.

From May to September the daily average temperature in Murcia is typically in the high 20s °C. By July and August the daily average is around 27 °C with typical high temperatures reaching up to 34 °C. The average low for the same months is a very warm 20 °C. In July 1995 the temperature in Murcia hit a whopping 45.7 °C, a temperature that remains a record high in the city.

Seville

Back in Andalusia, the historic city of Seville is easily one of the warmest places in Spain. With an annual average temperature of 25.4 °C, Seville is one of the sunniest and hottest cities in Europe. Located inland and away from the cooling seas, Seville absolutely scorches during the city’s long hot summers, which last from May to October.

The average daily maximum temperatures in Seville during the peak of summer are just over 36 °C and you can expect eleven to twelve hours of constant sunshine a day. The highest official temperature ever recorded in Seville is 46.6 °C, and temperatures above 40 °C are not uncommon. There have even been unofficial reports of temperatures hitting as high as 50 °C as far back as 1881, though the method of recording temperatures at the time means that this can’t be verified.

Cordoba

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the city of Cordoba – just a couple of hour’s drive to the east of Seville – is also one of the warmest places in Spain. Also located inland and hidden from the cooling effect of the coastline, Cordoba shares a very similar climate to Seville. In fact, Cordoba could even claim to be slightly warmer than Seville. Average daily highs in the summer months in Cordoba nudge 37 °C and the city is regularly one of the warmest in all of Europe.

Summer in Cordoba runs from late May to mid-October and they are usually sweltering. During July and August the average daily temperature is 28 °C, whilst the average high is typically around 36 °C. Days where the temperature tops 40 °C are common in the height of summer too, though nighttime temperatures tend to be much cooler even on the hottest of days. The highest temperature ever recorded in Cordoba is 46.9 °C.

Malaga

Staying in Andalusia, the city of Malaga is next on our list of the hottest places in Spain. As with Seville, Malaga enjoys comparatively warm winters but the temperatures ratchets up during the long and sweaty summer. Situated on the Costa del Sol and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Malaga is a major tourist destination in its own right, whilst also close to many famous holiday destinations, such as Torremolinos and Marbella.

Like most of southern Spain, Malaga’s summers are sizzling. From June to September the daily average temperature in Malaga is over 23 °C, reaching as high as 26 °C by August. The actual highs are often even hotter again, with the maximum temperatures typically hitting 32 °C. Don’t be surprised to see the temperatures soar into the low 40s °C either, especially around June and September. In fact, winters in Malaga are amongst the warmest in Europe too. The average daily temperature in Malaga between December and February is around 17 °C.

Granada

Granada is the last Andalusian city on our tour around the warmest places in Spain. As with Seville and Cordoba, this gorgeous historic city is located inland and away from the cooling influence of the sea. This means that temperatures creep up and up during the summer, often peaking at around 40 °C. Whilst winters in Granada are cool and often see a surprising amount of rainfall, in the summer Granada gets toasty hot.

Summertime temperatures for Granada are consistent with those seen across Andalusia. From May to October, the city’s average monthly daytime temperatures tend to sit in the mid 20 °Cs, though in reality the actual daytime temperatures will be nearly ten degrees higher. The average high temperatures for summer in Granada are usually closer to 35 °C in the height of summer, which is typically between July and August. During the heatwave that hit the south of Spain in 2017, Granada set a new maximum high temperature of 45.7 °C.

Zaragoza

The final city on our list of the warmest places in Spain takes us north to Zaragoza. Though perhaps not as famous for its inclement weather as other parts of Spain, Zaragoza can get incredibly hot during the summer. Located in the region of Aragon and around 200 miles inland from Barcelona, summers in Zaragoza are famously dry, see a lot of sunshine as well as some gloriously hot weather.

Daily average temperatures in Zaragoza during the summer rival those seen anywhere in the south of the country, particularly around July and August. Here the daily average in Zaragoza is around 25 °C, with the average highs climbing up to around 31 and 32 °C. Here too it’s not uncommon for the temperatures in summer to rise into the low 40s °C. The highest temperature ever recorded in Zaragoza is a red-hot 44.5 °C.

What is the hottest town in Spain?

The hottest town in Spain is Montoro which has twice set the record for the highest temperature ever recorded in the entire country. This small Andalusian city has twice recorded temperatures of just over 47 °C in the space of five years.

Which part of Spain is the warmest in winter?

Malaga is the warmest part of Spain during the winter. The average daily temperatures in Malaga during the winter months is typically around 17 and 18 °C. This makes Malaga one of the warmest cities in Europe during the winter.

Where in Spain is warm all year round?

The cities and towns of Andalusia are typically warm all year round. Cities such as Seville and Malaga enjoy incredibly hot summers and mild but warm winters. In winter daytime temperatures in cities such as Seville and Malaga are usually between 16 -18 °C and most days are sunny for long periods. Some cities that lie further from the coast, such as Cordoba, enjoy hot summers but can be much cooler during the winter.

Is winter a good time to visit Spain?

Most people who come to Spain for city breaks to visit Barcelona or Madrid usually come between the spring and autumn months, when the weather is great for walking outside and visiting places.

Holidaymakers who come to Spain for beach holidays usually come in summer, when the Spanish costas, meaning Spain’s coasts, get really crowded with locals and international tourists as well.

But how about winter? Is Spain a good destination to catch some winter sun?

The honest answer is that it depends on where you’re planning to go and what your expectations are.

Compared to its European neighbors, peninsular Spain has mild winters, especially in the south, meaning Andalucia and along the coasts like in the regions of Valencia, Murcia, and Almeria.

But the warmest places to visit in winter in Spain are definitely the islands, especially the Canary Islands, which are also our top recommendation when it comes to hot places to visit in winter in Europe.

Best places to visit in Spain for winter sun

With a bit of luck, you can spend a sunny and warm holiday in Spain even in December, January or February, when the rest of Europe is dealing with cold weather and sometimes snow.

We’ll first show you the warmest places in continental Spain during winter and at the end, you can find our recommendations for the absolute hottest winter destinations in Spain, which are the 4 largest of the Canary Islands.

1. Malaga

Malaga is a beautiful and vibrant city on Spain’s Costa del Sol.

Costa del Sol is an extremely popular tourist destination during the summer months, but less so during winter. Although you can’t expect proper summer temperatures in winter, you can expect the weather to resemble springtime, with mild temperatures and some sunny days mixed with rainy days.

If you’re lucky and you visit Malaga in December you might even be able to catch some sun on the beach, but it’s also possible to experience a few days of continuous rain. In winter in Malaga, you can usually expect maximum temperatures during the day to range between 11°C and 22°C, which is a big difference.

Still, Malaga is a nice place to visit in Spain even in winter, if you want to escape the tourist crowds and simply enjoy Spain’s tapas bars and visit museums and palaces.

Malaga weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Average low temperature: 8°C (46.4°F)

Average rainy days per month: 6

Average daily sunshine hours: 6

2. Valencia

Who dares to test the sea temperature in Valencia in winter?

Valencia is one of our favorite cities in Spain.

It’s a big city, it has amazing paella and tasty Sangria, the people are friendly, the city looks green compared to other Spanish cities and you also have easy access to a huge beach.

Valencia is also a good base if you want to explore several other places in the Valencian community like Parc Natural de l’Albufera, Gandia, Denia, Javea, or Castellon de la Plana.

Valencia weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Average low temperature: 7.8°C (46.04°F)

Average rainy days per month: 4

Average daily sunshine hours: 5.5

3. Alicante

Also part of the Valencian Community, Alicante is located a bit further south from Valencia and it’s yet another lovely city to visit in winter. Alicante has a beautiful urban beach Playa del Postiguet where you can take walks even on winter days, especially if it’s sunny.

You can also climb up to Santa Barbara Castle and admire the view from up top and in the afternoon you can try several of the nice bars and restaurants in town.

Alicante is well connected with several other towns on the coast and you can use the long-distance Alicante Tram to travel to places like Villajoyosa, Playa San Juan, or the popular resort Benidorm.

Alicante weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17.5°C (63.5°F)

Average low temperature: 7°C (44.6°F)

Average rainy days per month: 3.5

Average daily sunshine hours: 6

4. Murcia

Murcia is located a little further south than Alicante and it is less touristy than Valencia, Malaga, or Alicante. The winter weather in Murcia is mild, with fewer rainy days than Malaga but very similar temperatures.

Murcia is very quiet and relaxed during the winter months, as it’s not a coastal town and it gets very few visitors during the low season. However, Murcia can be a good place to stay during winter for remote workers who are just looking for a city with mild temperatures, good internet and a chilled atmosphere. From Murcia, you can easily visit other places like Cartagena, Orihuela or Torrevieja.

Murcia weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Average low temperature: 5.5°C (41.9°F)

Average rainy days per month: 4

Average daily sunshine hours: 6

5. Almeria

Located in the Andalusia region, Almeria is not as popular from a tourist perspective as Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada, or Malaga. But Almeria still has a few interesting places to visit like the Alcazaba (medieval fortress) or the cathedral, which can easily be seen during the winter months, when Almeria is among the best places to visit in Spain for some winter sun.

Almeria is located on the coast within the Gulf of Almeria and it enjoys lovely warm winter days, with much less rain than most of the other cities in continental Spain. Except for the Canary Islands, Almeria might be one of the warmest places to visit in Spain in winter, with a bit of luck, since rainy days can occur here as well.

Almeria weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17.5°C (63.5°F)

Average low temperature: 9°C (48.2°F)

Average rainy days per month: 3

6. Benidorm

Benidorm is one of the most well-known tourist destinations in Spain, especially during the summer months when the hotels get full, the beaches get crowded and the bars get noisy.

Did you know that Benidorm is the city with the most skyscrapers in Spain? The city is quite atypical for Spain and although winter is not considered high-season here, there are still tourists who visit especially during the Christmas holidays and New Year’s Eve.

If it’s sunny and warm you can still walk on the beach, grab a coffee at one of the cafes or bars on the promenade or visit other places along the coastline like Altea or Calp.

Benidorm weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62. 6°F)

Average low temperature: 7.7°C (45.86°F)

Average rainy days per month: 4

The Canary Islands – the warmest place to visit in Spain in winter

All of the previous destinations presented in this article were located in peninsular Spain, but the Canary Islands archipelago is the Spanish region with the best winter weather and also the hottest place to visit in Europe in winter.

There are 8 Canary Islands, all similar and at the same time different from each other, but for the winter months, we can recommend you to visit one of these 4, which are the most popular: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote or Fuerteventura.

7. Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and also the island that is most popular and gets the most visitors annually.

If you want to visit Tenerife during the season, you should stay in the south of the island in places like Playa de Las Americas, Los Cristianos, or Costa Adeje. Remember that winter is considered the high season in Tenerife, as the Canary Islands are the best destination for winter sun in Spain and Europe as well.

Tenerife South weather in winter

Average high temperature: 22.1°C (71.78°F)

Average low temperature: 15.8°C (60.44°F)

Gran Canaria is yet another popular choice when it comes to warm beach holidays in Spain during the winter season, from December and until March.

For the best weather possible, we recommend you to stay in resorts located in the south like Maspalomas, Playa del Ingles, Puerto Rico, or Meloneras. Las Palmas, the island’s capital, is also a popular destination in winter, especially for remote workers, but the weather is not quite as warm as in the south of Gran Canaria.

Gran Canaria weather in winter

10. Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the smallest of the 4 Canary Islands mentioned here, but it’s also a good option for sunny winter breaks in Spain.

If you want to visit Lanzarote in winter we would recommend you to stay in Playa Blanca, as it tends to be a bit warmer because it’s less windy than the other resorts. Puerto del Carmen is also a good option since it’s the largest and busiest resort and Costa Teguise can be windier, which makes it a favorite among visitors looking to practice water sports.

Lanzarote weather in winter

Average high temperature: 21. 2°C (70.16°F)

Average low temperature: 14.5°C (58.1°F)

How hot are the Canary Islands in winter? Can you sunbathe?

Yes, you can definitely sunbathe and even swim in the Canaries even in winter.

When the sun is out the “real feel” temperature will be higher than what you would expect by looking at the thermometer. This is because of the UV index, so you should still use a high SPF sun cream even in winter.

The Canary Islands are a good destination for a warm winter holiday in Spain but don’t expect tropical weather with overly high temperatures or high humidity, because the climate in the Canaries is sub-tropical, which means that the weather is just right all year round.

Is winter a good time to visit Spain?

Most people who come to Spain for city breaks to visit Barcelona or Madrid usually come between the spring and autumn months, when the weather is great for walking outside and visiting places.

Holidaymakers who come to Spain for beach holidays usually come in summer, when the Spanish costas, meaning Spain’s coasts, get really crowded with locals and international tourists as well.

But how about winter? Is Spain a good destination to catch some winter sun?

The honest answer is that it depends on where you’re planning to go and what your expectations are.

Compared to its European neighbors, peninsular Spain has mild winters, especially in the south, meaning Andalucia and along the coasts like in the regions of Valencia, Murcia, and Almeria.

But the warmest places to visit in winter in Spain are definitely the islands, especially the Canary Islands, which are also our top recommendation when it comes to hot places to visit in winter in Europe.

Best places to visit in Spain for winter sun

With a bit of luck, you can spend a sunny and warm holiday in Spain even in December, January or February, when the rest of Europe is dealing with cold weather and sometimes snow.

We’ll first show you the warmest places in continental Spain during winter and at the end, you can find our recommendations for the absolute hottest winter destinations in Spain, which are the 4 largest of the Canary Islands.

1. Malaga

Malaga is a beautiful and vibrant city on Spain’s Costa del Sol.

Costa del Sol is an extremely popular tourist destination during the summer months, but less so during winter. Although you can’t expect proper summer temperatures in winter, you can expect the weather to resemble springtime, with mild temperatures and some sunny days mixed with rainy days.

If you’re lucky and you visit Malaga in December you might even be able to catch some sun on the beach, but it’s also possible to experience a few days of continuous rain. In winter in Malaga, you can usually expect maximum temperatures during the day to range between 11°C and 22°C, which is a big difference.

Still, Malaga is a nice place to visit in Spain even in winter, if you want to escape the tourist crowds and simply enjoy Spain’s tapas bars and visit museums and palaces.

Malaga weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Average low temperature: 8°C (46.4°F)

Average rainy days per month: 6

Average daily sunshine hours: 6

2. Valencia

Who dares to test the sea temperature in Valencia in winter?

Valencia is one of our favorite cities in Spain.

It’s a big city, it has amazing paella and tasty Sangria, the people are friendly, the city looks green compared to other Spanish cities and you also have easy access to a huge beach.

Valencia is also a good base if you want to explore several other places in the Valencian community like Parc Natural de l’Albufera, Gandia, Denia, Javea, or Castellon de la Plana.

Valencia weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Average low temperature: 7.8°C (46.04°F)

Average rainy days per month: 4

Average daily sunshine hours: 5.5

3. Alicante

Also part of the Valencian Community, Alicante is located a bit further south from Valencia and it’s yet another lovely city to visit in winter. Alicante has a beautiful urban beach Playa del Postiguet where you can take walks even on winter days, especially if it’s sunny.

You can also climb up to Santa Barbara Castle and admire the view from up top and in the afternoon you can try several of the nice bars and restaurants in town.

Alicante is well connected with several other towns on the coast and you can use the long-distance Alicante Tram to travel to places like Villajoyosa, Playa San Juan, or the popular resort Benidorm.

Alicante weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17.5°C (63.5°F)

Average low temperature: 7°C (44.6°F)

Average rainy days per month: 3.5

Average daily sunshine hours: 6

4. Murcia

Murcia is located a little further south than Alicante and it is less touristy than Valencia, Malaga, or Alicante. The winter weather in Murcia is mild, with fewer rainy days than Malaga but very similar temperatures.

Murcia is very quiet and relaxed during the winter months, as it’s not a coastal town and it gets very few visitors during the low season. However, Murcia can be a good place to stay during winter for remote workers who are just looking for a city with mild temperatures, good internet and a chilled atmosphere. From Murcia, you can easily visit other places like Cartagena, Orihuela or Torrevieja.

Murcia weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Average low temperature: 5.5°C (41.9°F)

Average rainy days per month: 4

5. Almeria

Located in the Andalusia region, Almeria is not as popular from a tourist perspective as Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada, or Malaga. But Almeria still has a few interesting places to visit like the Alcazaba (medieval fortress) or the cathedral, which can easily be seen during the winter months, when Almeria is among the best places to visit in Spain for some winter sun.

Almeria is located on the coast within the Gulf of Almeria and it enjoys lovely warm winter days, with much less rain than most of the other cities in continental Spain. Except for the Canary Islands, Almeria might be one of the warmest places to visit in Spain in winter, with a bit of luck, since rainy days can occur here as well.

Almeria weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17.5°C (63.5°F)

Average low temperature: 9°C (48.2°F)

Average rainy days per month: 3

Benidorm is one of the most well-known tourist destinations in Spain, especially during the summer months when the hotels get full, the beaches get crowded and the bars get noisy.

Did you know that Benidorm is the city with the most skyscrapers in Spain? The city is quite atypical for Spain and although winter is not considered high-season here, there are still tourists who visit especially during the Christmas holidays and New Year’s Eve.

If it’s sunny and warm you can still walk on the beach, grab a coffee at one of the cafes or bars on the promenade or visit other places along the coastline like Altea or Calp.

Benidorm weather in winter

Average high temperature: 17°C (62. 6°F)

The Canary Islands – the warmest place to visit in Spain in winter

All of the previous destinations presented in this article were located in peninsular Spain, but the Canary Islands archipelago is the Spanish region with the best winter weather and also the hottest place to visit in Europe in winter.

There are 8 Canary Islands, all similar and at the same time different from each other, but for the winter months, we can recommend you to visit one of these 4, which are the most popular: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote or Fuerteventura.

7. Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and also the island that is most popular and gets the most visitors annually.

If you want to visit Tenerife during the season, you should stay in the south of the island in places like Playa de Las Americas, Los Cristianos, or Costa Adeje. Remember that winter is considered the high season in Tenerife, as the Canary Islands are the best destination for winter sun in Spain and Europe as well.

Tenerife South weather in winter

Average high temperature: 22.1°C (71.78°F)

Average low temperature: 15.8°C (60.44°F)

Gran Canaria is yet another popular choice when it comes to warm beach holidays in Spain during the winter season, from December and until March.

For the best weather possible, we recommend you to stay in resorts located in the south like Maspalomas, Playa del Ingles, Puerto Rico, or Meloneras. Las Palmas, the island’s capital, is also a popular destination in winter, especially for remote workers, but the weather is not quite as warm as in the south of Gran Canaria.

All of the island’s main resorts are good options for winter holidays: Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste, Costa Calma, or Morro Jable.

10. Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the smallest of the 4 Canary Islands mentioned here, but it’s also a good option for sunny winter breaks in Spain.

If you want to visit Lanzarote in winter we would recommend you to stay in Playa Blanca, as it tends to be a bit warmer because it’s less windy than the other resorts. Puerto del Carmen is also a good option since it’s the largest and busiest resort and Costa Teguise can be windier, which makes it a favorite among visitors looking to practice water sports.

Lanzarote weather in winter

Average high temperature: 21. 2°C (70.16°F)

Average low temperature: 14.5°C (58.1°F)

How hot are the Canary Islands in winter? Can you sunbathe?

Yes, you can definitely sunbathe and even swim in the Canaries even in winter.

When the sun is out the “real feel” temperature will be higher than what you would expect by looking at the thermometer. This is because of the UV index, so you should still use a high SPF sun cream even in winter.

The Canary Islands are a good destination for a warm winter holiday in Spain but don’t expect tropical weather with overly high temperatures or high humidity, because the climate in the Canaries is sub-tropical, which means that the weather is just right all year round.

10. Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the smallest of the 4 Canary Islands mentioned here, but it’s also a good option for sunny winter breaks in Spain.

If you want to visit Lanzarote in winter we would recommend you to stay in Playa Blanca, as it tends to be a bit warmer because it’s less windy than the other resorts. Puerto del Carmen is also a good option since it’s the largest and busiest resort and Costa Teguise can be windier, which makes it a favorite among visitors looking to practice water sports.

How hot are the Canary Islands in winter? Can you sunbathe?

Yes, you can definitely sunbathe and even swim in the Canaries even in winter.

When the sun is out the “real feel” temperature will be higher than what you would expect by looking at the thermometer. This is because of the UV index, so you should still use a high SPF sun cream even in winter.

The Canary Islands are a good destination for a warm winter holiday in Spain but don’t expect tropical weather with overly high temperatures or high humidity, because the climate in the Canaries is sub-tropical, which means that the weather is just right all year round.

Planning a winter holiday to Spain and you’re thinking to visit one of the Canary Islands?

Tourism

For lovers of warmth who dream of escaping from a snowy winter, Spain can offer several interesting options at once. The most obvious of them is, of course, Andalusia.

This region is attractive not only for its mild Mediterranean climate, but also for its rich culture, whimsically combining Arab and European traditions.

It is in Andalusia that Spain’s sunniest city, Huelva, is located, where the sun shines on average about 3,000 hours a year. Huelva is also one of the oldest cities of the Iberian Peninsula: already in the 10th century. BC e. there were settlements of the Phoenicians and Tartessians. The rich history of the region has left behind many archaeological treasures from different eras: here you will find the remains of Phoenician, Arab and Roman settlements, ancient Mudéjar churches, as well as numerous “Anglo-Saxon” buildings, reminiscent of British influence in the 19th century.

Of course, speaking of Andalusia, one should not forget about the most famous cities of this region, its real pearls – Seville, Cadiz, Malaga, Cordoba, Granada . .. And despite the not quite winter weather (daytime temperatures here can reach up to 20-25 ° C ), numerous local Christmas traditions will give you a sense of the magic inherent in the New Year holidays. In December, houses are decorated with garlands, streets are illuminated with colorful lights, and squares and shops are decorated with Christmas nativity scenes. And it is in Andalusia that you will find perhaps the most unusual nativity scene in Spain – chocolate! Every year in the town of Ruta in the province of Cordoba, a huge chocolate nativity scene is made especially for Christmas, inspired by one of the cities of Andalusia. This year 1400 kg of chocolate placed on 66 m ² , dedicated to the cities of Jaén, Ubeda and Baeza.

Canary and Balearic Islands in winter

However, apart from Andalusia, there are places in Spain where you can escape from the cold – for example, the Balearic and Canary Islands. The Balearic Islands, as well as Andalusia, have a mild Mediterranean climate – it is not for nothing that this autonomous region occupies the second place in Spain in terms of attendance among tourists. At Christmas, you have the opportunity to try unique dishes: for example, in Menorca, no festive dinner is complete without couscous (cuscussó), an ancient delicacy of Arabic origin, a mixture of butter, almonds, bread and sugar. Couscousso can be served on its own as a dessert, or as a filling for a traditional Christmas duck. And in Ibiza, you can enjoy another dessert – “Christmas sauce” (la salsa de Nadal), prepared on the basis of almonds. There are many different recipes for this dish, and there is even a competition on the island for the best one.

As for the Canary Islands, there is already a tropical climate, and the water temperature, even in winter, rarely drops below 20 °C. Here you can celebrate the New Year on board a sailboat or feel yourself in the place of the Magi by going on a camel tour! However, if you visit the Canary Islands a little later, in early February, you will have a chance to visit the famous carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which is second in scope and popularity only to the carnival in Rio de Janeiro.

Russians’ favorite Spanish destination is the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. This region attracts immigrants from all over the world with its comfortable climate. In winter, it is about +10 degrees here, and the average temperature in the summer months is +25-+28.

Housing is usually chosen in cities on the coast to be closer to the sea. Someone is attracted by a quiet suburb, and someone wants to live in the atmosphere of a metropolis and goes to Barcelona or Madrid.

After reading our review, you will find out which cities in Spain are popular with Russian immigrants, what to see there and how much money you need to live.

Barcelona – the cultural capital of Spain

A city on the Mediterranean coast, the capital of the autonomous community of Catalonia. It ranks as the 6th most popular tourist destination in Europe.

About 1.62 million people from all over the world live here. The main languages are Spanish and Catalan.

The climate in this part of Spain is quite mild. The air temperature in summer averages +25 degrees. In the hottest months – July and August – it can reach +30. In winter, usually not lower than +10.

Park Güell is one of the most popular places to relax and walk in Barcelona

Barcelona has 8 beaches covering 5 km of coastline. Volleyball nets and strength training grounds have remained there since the Olympic Games-92.

The city stands on the hills that gave the name to the main city blocks: Carmel, Monterolls, Rovira, Puchet, Peyra.

The Gothic Quarter, the heart of the Old Town, is the oldest part of Barcelona. Here you can see the ruins of buildings from the time of the Roman Empire and stroll through the labyrinths of medieval streets.

One of the main attractions of the quarter is the Barcelona Cathedral, which took 150 years to build. You should also look into the bohemian cafe “Four Cats”. Pablo Picasso and his friend, the famous architect Antonio Gaudi, often went there.

Thanks to Gaudí, unique examples of architecture appeared in Barcelona. Among them are the Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, Casa Mila, Batlló. The author’s style is based on curved lines and the technique of mosaics made of broken glass and ceramics.

Montjuic has more than 40 museums and a magnificent view of the port, which is about 2000 years old.

We also advise you to visit the Barcelona Aquarium (Acuario de Barcelona) – this is an aquarium where 11 thousand marine animals are collected. The glass tunnel for visitors is the longest in the world – 80 meters.

Getting around the city is easy thanks to the developed metro network. One of the 11 lines is connected to the international airport.

Prices in Barcelona

The average cost of living for a family of 4 per month is 3,451 euros, per person – 1,811 euros.

monthly ticket – 41 euros

dinner in an inexpensive restaurant for two – 35 euros

buying a house – about 3,000 euros per sq. m

renting a house – about 15 euros per sq.m

2 Madrid the heart and capital of Spain

More than 3 million people live in the country’s largest metropolitan area. A small river Manzanares flows through the city, but there is no sea. The nearest region with access to sea water is the Mediterranean coast, 430 km away. As an option – the Pantano de San Juan reservoir, 70 km from Madrid, which can be reached by car or bus.

Winter in Madrid is colder than in other regions of Spain, and snow is most likely to be seen only here. The maximum temperature of the coldest month, January, is +6 degrees. The hottest thing is in August – up to +30.

The Metropolis building (left), built in 1910, is one of the main architectural monuments of Madrid. Decorative elements on the dome are covered with real gold.

Compared to the south of Spain, life in Madrid is more expensive, especially when it comes to renting a house. The city has a well-developed transport network – metro, buses, electric trains, two railway stations and an international airport.

In terms of the number of museums, excursions, historical monuments and cultural events, Madrid is far ahead of other Spanish cities. Gourmets will find cuisines from all over the world here, and partygoers will appreciate the vibrant life of local nightclubs.

For a truly Spanish atmosphere, visit the La Latina quarter, one of the places where the capital began to grow. Here you can drink coffee or dine in one of the café terraces while enjoying the cityscape.

Via Serrano, if funds permit, offers luxury shopping in boutiques of famous designers. There are Las Rozas outlets in the suburbs, where branded items are sold at more affordable prices.

Prices in Madrid

The average cost of living for a family of 4 per month is 3,256 euros, per person – 1,720 euros.

monthly pass – 53 euros

dinner in an inexpensive restaurant for two – 31 euros

buying a house – about 3,300 euros per sq. m

Valencia

— city of orange groves

City on the Mediterranean coast in the southeastern region of Spain. It ranks third in terms of the number of inhabitants after Madrid and Barcelona.

The winters here are warm – the daytime temperature in January can be as high as +16 degrees. In summer – + 28-30.

The City of Arts and Sciences is a unique architectural project in Valencia. It consists of five futuristic buildings designed by Santiago Calatrava.

Proximity to the sea has a beach holiday. If you love the atmosphere of movement, head to La Malvarossa or Cabacal. There are always a lot of people and you can do water sports. Playa las Arenas regularly hosts festivals and concerts. For those who appreciate peace and solitude, Pinedo, Recat or El Saler beaches are suitable.

Valencia has about 50 museums on topics ranging from the history of the city to contemporary art. For example, the National Museum of Ceramics has about 5,000 exhibits. Among them are porcelain dishes, which were used at the court of the royal families of Spain. The Museum of Fine Arts contains paintings by Velasquez, El Greco and unique engravings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi.

For hikers, we recommend the Royal Gardens (Jardines del Real). This park-reserve was created in 1560 by order of King Philip II. There are about 3 thousand trees and more than 200 plant species from all over the world, including rare specimens.

Cathedral of the Virgin Mary is famous as the guardian of the Holy Grail – the cup from which, according to legend, Jesus Christ drank wine at the Last Supper. The authenticity of the Christian relic is officially recognized by the Vatican. You can see it in the church chapel.

Walking along Piazza Lope de Vega, get acquainted with an unusual building near the church of Santa Catalina. The five-story building, 1.07 m wide, is considered the narrowest in the world.

For fresh food, go to the Central Market. Since the Middle Ages, the best goods and delicacies of Valencia have been brought here.

The city has good transport links, and the metro can take you to the international airport in 10-20 minutes.

Prices in Valencia

The average cost of living for a family of 4 per month is 2,933 euros, for one person – 1,381 euros.

One of the attractions worth visiting is the Santa Barbara Fortress on the top of Mount Benacantil, 166 m high. You can get there by a paid elevator or on foot, which will not be difficult.

Santa Barbara – 9th century AD fortress on a mountain in the center of Alicante.

Spain (Spain). Climate in Spain, nature, culture, traditions

Spain is a country where serenity and happiness are literally in the air.

Time here is not subject to any laws and can slowly drag on, allowing you to relax on the beach, or fly fast to the rhythms of flamenco.

This is a country where you will never be bored, where there are no gloomy faces, and even strangers smile at you. In a country like Spain, you always want to take photos, because every landscape, every view is worthy of a separate page in the album.

Once you’ve been here, you don’t want to go back home, because you understand – here it is, heaven on Earth.

It is impossible to determine which coast of Spain is better – they are all beautiful in their own way.

Climate in Spain

Spain is divided into three climatic zones. The northern part of the country is under the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, which makes the winter not so cold (the temperature does not fall below +2 ° C), and the summer is mild and moderately hot. This region is considered one of the best in the world for living with children, the absence of extreme temperature changes and a dry summer period helps kids feel comfortable all year round. The sea warms up to 20–22 °С in summer. Real estate in Spain in this part is not too expensive, solid, therefore, in almost any locality, you can stay comfortably.

In the central part of the country, the climate is cooler – continental, due to the fact that the movement of warm air masses is difficult. But here you should not wait for frosts. Cold in winter, of course, happens, especially in mountainous areas, but the temperature does not fall below +2 ° C. The exception is the mountains, here it can be -8, but it should be borne in mind that such a temperature is rare and it is not felt at all so strongly. The weather in Spain in the mountainous regions changes smoothly, sudden temperature changes are very rare.

The climate in the south-east of the country is Mediterranean, mild, with short warm winters and hot summers. The temperature during the summer months reaches +35 °C, but most of the time this figure varies from 25 to 28 °C. Winter lasts the same as in Russia – from December to February, the average temperature in the coldest period is +12 . .. +18 ° С.

Houses in Spain on the coast do not need much insulation, so they are inexpensive. Compared to other European countries, the price difference can be quite significant. In addition, such a temperature regime allows you to build apartments in Spain on the coast very quickly, efficiently and with minimal investment.

The Canary Islands is a tropical paradise with all its perks. Hot summer, which lasts almost all year round, the temperature ranges from +19 °С in the “coldest” months to +25 °С in summer. You can swim in the Canary Islands all year round.

Nature in Spain

It is difficult to talk briefly about the nature of Spain, because even hundreds of pages are not enough to describe its beauty. The flora of the country is incredibly diverse, in the north of the country the vegetation resembles the landscapes of Central Europe – dense forests grow, which are replaced by meadows with lush green grass. Plants familiar to us predominate: beech, oak, chestnut. When moving towards the mountain range, coniferous trees are more and more common: pines and firs.

Almost 90% of the central part of Spain are mountains, most of which are not too high – 600-700 meters above sea level and are covered with a dense carpet of vegetation. The highest point is Mulasen (3478 m). In total, there are more than 70 mountain ranges in Spain.

Mediterranean vegetation prevails in the south and southeast of the country: cypresses, junipers and citrus fruits, olive groves grow and vineyards turn green. According to many, this is the most beautiful coast of Spain. The nature of the Canary Islands is very different from the mainland of Spain.

They are of volcanic origin, so the relief, and as a result, the nature here is very diverse. There are lifeless fields covered with frozen lava, and dense thickets of tropical vegetation: various palms, lianas and shrubs. Much of the flora that grows here is found nowhere else in the world. This is the warmest coast of Spain, so sometimes it seems that you are in an exotic equatorial country.

The fauna is somewhat more modest due to the distance from the mainland, but this tropical paradise does not look lifeless. There are many birds and small amphibians. There are no poisonous and dangerous animals in the Canary Islands.

Not to mention the underwater world, the coastal zone is full of life, hundreds of species of fish have made the Canary Islands a favorite destination for divers from all over the world.

Culture and traditions

Culture is what many people buy tours in Spain for. A special attitude to life, a unique temperament and love for beauty have formed a special atmosphere in this country.

Naturally, in such an environment culture and art in Spain simply could not help but develop.

What comes to mind when we talk about Spain? Of course, flamenco dance, bright and passionate, literally saturated with emotions, where every movement tells a story. The Spaniards consider this dance their national wealth and regularly hold flamenco festivals. They dance literally everywhere: on the stages of large theaters, at night discos and right on the street. The southern cities of Spain are especially famous for this, here almost every person is fluent in flamenco.

The second national highlight is bullfighting. A bullfight is no longer such a bloody spectacle, now it is a virtuoso dance, where an angry bull moves together with a bullfighter. The task of the daredevil is to provoke the animal and arrange an unforgettable show. Now a number of laws have been adopted, according to which it is impossible to kill a bull, but this ban does not apply everywhere. Bullfighting is allowed mainly in the resorts of Spain on the coast, which hold this spectacular show to attract tourists.

And of course, we can’t help but mention the Spanish festival , which takes place in February and is as colorful as its Brazilian competitor. And in Spain there are many holidays dedicated to Catholic saints. Holding each one implies a spectacular ritual: parades of four-meter-long puppets move along the street to the sound of flutes and drums. During these festivities, the townspeople launch fireworks, which symbolize the victory over evil spirits and the triumph of good.

Another, probably the most fun tradition is the harvest festival. A “wine battle” begins on the streets of cities, everyone, young and old, load water pistols and arrange a “shelling” of each other with wine.

Transport

Transport infrastructure in Spain is very well developed. Almost the entire territory of the country is washed by water, so sea transport is actively used. A network of large ports has been built that serve several thousand ships. Communication has been established both with nearby small islands and with remote points of the globe.

Air transport is also actively developing, there are more than 100 airports in the country, more than 30 of them are international. There is a direction and Moscow-Spain. The infrastructure is constantly developing, new runways are being built, Spanish airports are opening on the coast and in the central part of the country.

Railway communication is at a high level – more than 17 thousand kilometers of tracks have been built. There are high-speed trains that can take you from Barcelona to Madrid in two and a half hours. Both the Mediterranean coast of Spain and the central regions are covered.

Road and bus communication allows you to get from one point to another with maximum comfort. The roads in Spain are very good: both the asphalt surface and the markings are in perfect condition.

Rules of the road

Despite the fact that the Spaniards are a temperamental nation, they strictly observe the rules of the road. This applies to motorists, motorcyclists and cyclists alike. By the way, there are a lot of two-wheeled vehicles on the roads, thanks to the mild climate of the country. But, surprisingly, it does not create problems. All roads in Spain are free, motorways are paid (they are marked with an A on a blue background).

Traffic in Spain is right-hand, the rules are the same as in Russia. But the penalties for non-compliance are much higher. This also applies to exceeding the permissible speed, and violating the requirements of road signs. A fairly large fine will have to be paid for an unfastened seat belt.

Speed in the city – 40 km / h, on a normal country road – up to 100 km / h, on the motorway – up to 120 km / h. Islands and mountainous areas have their own peculiarities and limitations, due to the large number of serpentines and frequent fogs, the maximum speed is often low. It is not worth risking and exceeding it, especially if the driver is in this area for the first time. This also applies to areas located near the resorts of Spain, coast Costa Blanca .

Leisure and tourism in Spain, tourist entertainment

Spain is one of the most attractive countries for tourism. Tropical and Mediterranean climate, clean coastal zone and European service will not leave anyone indifferent. It is not for nothing that for the Greeks in the old days, Spain was the land where golden apples grow, and for the Arabs it was the gate to paradise. Therefore, tours to Spain are so popular with vacationers from all over the world.

The choice of places to stay is simply huge – the Atlantic coast of Spain, the Mediterranean beaches or ski resorts, which are in no way inferior to the famous Alps. And island landscapes will conquer even those who are not too fond of beach holidays. A visa to Spain is needed for a Schengen visa, tourists do not have any difficulties in obtaining it. The list of documents is standard, no special papers need to be submitted. The Spanish visa center is loyal to Russians who go on vacation.

Many excursion routes have been developed. For those who like to conquer the peaks of the mountains, this is the Sierra Nevada: Granada, Cordoba or Seville. There are walking paths, skiing and snowboarding, and classic cozy resort areas with picturesque houses and restaurants with national cuisine.

Those who want to relax and admire historical monuments will definitely enjoy a trip to the monastery of St. Pilar or Montserrat. And if you want to relax under palm trees, then welcome to the Canary Islands. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to divide the trip into several seasons, in February you can go skiing, and not only sunbathe on the islands, but also take part in the carnival. In Spain, the cities on the coast are no less interesting than the megacities of the central part of the country. Each area has its own flair.

Spain’s Mediterranean coast is sandy beaches, seafood and amazingly delicious wine, while the Atlantic is European service, sophistication and many cultural attractions. It is almost impossible to choose the best coast of Spain, it is different for every tourist.

You should definitely visit Madrid and Barcelona, Benidorm and Valencia , historical sights, museums, theaters are at almost every step. And yet, in major cities in Spain, you can update your wardrobe without spending too much. Sales, outlets open their doors to tourists all year round. Prices in Spain for clothes, shoes and accessories are lower than elsewhere, and the quality remains quite high.

Many people come and rent apartments in Spain on the coast for a few months to relax and see all the tourist attractions. Of course, it is best to have your own property, but hotels on the coast of Spain will provide sufficient comfort.

Do you want to admire the real “lunar landscapes”? Then go to the island of Lanzarote – a volcanic reserve, the surface of which is almost completely covered with solidified lava. The island is most popular with creative people; almost every one of them strives to depict the coast of Spain in a photo.

Hotels in Spain have stars traditional for Europe, and the rating in the country corresponds to reality. Moreover, the complex often receives three stars solely because of the small area, while the level of service can be no worse than in a five-star resort. Hotels on the coast of Spain most often offer a “European breakfast”, all-inclusive meals are less common.

In order to navigate the country, you need a map of the coast in Russian. It’s easier to build your route, and you won’t be able to miss interesting places. A navigator that has all Spain , mediterranean coast, a map of the central regions is also suitable. The main thing is to update the software, as many destinations are being rebuilt. For example, last year’s map shows the Mediterranean coast of Spain incorrectly, as a large number of new hotels have been built, to which the infrastructure has been connected. In addition, the detailing is constantly improving, the names of the coasts of Spain are being added and refined.

What is the climate in Spain: climate conditions on the map briefly

Blog
/ Living in Spain

When planning a vacation in Spain, not to mention moving there for permanent residence, any person will not least ask the “weather question”: what climate will you have to get used to, in what climatic zones are the most comfortable conditions and what is the average temperature by month and region? I must say that, despite the serious changes caused by global warming, the weather in this country continues to be one of the most favorable for the human body.

The varied topography of the Iberian Peninsula and its geographic position at the confluence of subtropical air masses from Africa with cold streams from the Atlantic determines an amazing variety of weather conditions. At certain times of the year, you can enjoy swimming in the warm sea, skiing and sand surfing in the desert – all in one day! In our material, we will tell you what temperature regime can be expected depending on the season and the place chosen for visiting.

The main climatic zones on the map of Spain

It is appropriate to consider the climate of the Spanish territory by its constituent regions: each has its own weather. So, the central part, including Madrid, is known for contrasts, with rather cold winters and dry summers, the northern provinces boast sparing winter and cool summer months, and the south never freezes, but sometimes suffers from sweltering heat. To better imagine the full range of the Kingdom’s weather conditions, check out a specialized map.

In general, it is customary to distinguish five types of climatic zones.

The northwest of the Kingdom, washed by the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay and including the lands of Asturias, Cantabria, Galicia and the Basque Country, is influenced by the oceanic climate. It is characterized by the most even temperature regime on the peninsula, with damp, mild winters and rainy, cool summers. The average temperature in January is +12-15 °C, in July – no more than +20-25 °C. It is also considered by many to be the most picturesque Spanish region, often compared to Switzerland. However, it is not in great demand among heat-loving fans of beach holidays: a record amount of rainfall and water in the region of + 22 ° C do not allow them to enjoy the beauties all year round.

If the north is called the “wet zone”, then the center of the country, which includes Castile-Leon, Aragon, Castile-La Mancha, Rioja, Navarre, Extremadura and part of Andalusia, is considered to be “dry” regions. Due to its location on the largest plateau of Castilian Meseta, at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, there is a continental Mediterranean climate. Its distinguishing features are severe windy winters, tropical summers with periods of drought and strong temperature fluctuations, the amplitude of which during the year can reach +18-20 °C. It rains most often in spring and autumn; in the cold season, snowfalls and fogs are possible.

The Spanish Mediterranean coast, which includes Catalonia, Valencia, Murcia, Andalusia and the Balearic Islands, is also influenced by the air masses of Africa and the Mediterranean. In areas remote from the coast, especially in the mountains, conditions are harsher: dry and hot in the summer months, cool and snowy in the winter. It is possible to distinguish more arid regions (Murcia, western Andalusia, southern Valencia Community) and temperate (Catalonia, northern Valencia, western and southern Andalusia). Both zones are characterized by long and hot summers, mild short winters and average rainfall. The air rarely cools down below +10-15 °C, warming up to +25-30 °C in July-August, which, with a water temperature of 24-26 degrees, attracts millions of tourists from all over the world to local resorts.

The climate of the mountainous regions (Pyrenees, Cantabrian mountains, Galician massif, Central Cordillera, etc.) differs significantly from the plains. Its features are sharp temperature changes during the day, dependence on winds, a high probability of snow, low atmospheric pressure and high solar radiation. At the same time, in areas surrounded by higher ridges, some of the factors may be “amortized”. In general, it is considered that when climbing the mountains with every hundred meters, the thermometer drops by half a degree: at an altitude of 1000-1500 m there is a subalpine belt (average annual temperature +10 ° C), at an altitude of 1500-2500 m – alpine (+6 ° C) and above 2500 m – snowy (0С). From the end of November to the end of March, mountainous areas turn into high-class skiing centers – there are a total of 38 stations in the country.

Separately, it is necessary to highlight the subtropical dry climate prevailing in the Canary Islands. It is not for nothing that this place is called the “land of eternal spring” – thanks to the action of oceanic air masses that soften the influence of neighboring Africa, it is always pleasant here, without unbearable heat, severe cold or prolonged rains. The average temperature in summer is + 20-30 ° C, in winter days – + 15-21 ° C. Most of the year there are sunny days, precipitation is more typical for the western islands of the archipelago, while the eastern ones are characterized by an arid semi-desert type.

Weather and climate in Spain throughout the year by months – table of water and air temperature

Weather conditions in different regions of the country vary greatly not only depending on the location, but also on the season. In general, it is believed that the Kingdom has the mildest autumn-winter season in Europe and moderately hot summers. Be that as it may, a tourist will always find something to do: from boat trips to sightseeing, you just need to stock up on suitable clothes in advance.

Winter

Unlike some European countries, extreme cold is rarely recorded on Spanish territory even in winter. In short, the climate in Spain is quite comfortable even in winter: what other country can boast an average temperature of + 12-15 ° C with an abundance of sunny days and no wind? Snow falls in the mountain regions and the thermometer stays at -4-6 °C – enough to spend the ski season, but ridiculous in order to really freeze by Russian standards.

December

“Cold” in Spanish officially comes on December 21, but the bright sun, which does not want to give up its positions, makes you doubt it. Despite the occasional presence of rainy and windy days, at least +10-16 °C is usually recorded in most of the peninsula. The mountains are covered with a thick snow cover and the best time for skiers is coming.

January

Spaniards consider the beginning of the year especially brainy: it gets cold up to +10 °C, the sea brings winds and rains. Many people enjoy spending Christmas and New Year in the ski resorts of the Pyrenees, the Cantabrian Range or the Central Cordillera, where, with an abundance of snow, it is not at all “frosty” – the thermometer does not fall below -7 ° C.

February

Thanks to the absolute unpredictability, the last winter month is called “loco”, i.e. “crazy”. The average daily temperature rises to +15-20°C, however, due to the active “walks” of air masses of various origins across the peninsula, a variety of natural phenomena can be expected at this time of the year, from floods and snowfalls to sharp warming. In most mountainous regions, the ski season continues, as the snow usually stays until the March thaw.

Spring

Spaniards, like us, consider the days of March to be the beginning of spring, but the countdown is not from the 1st, but from the 21st. The air warms up to +18 °C, water – up to +15 °C, which inspires the most hardened to the first swims. There is a fair amount of rainfall, especially in the northern provinces – there is a saying “En Abril lluvias mil” (“April is a thousand rains”) for a reason.

March

Southerners feel the approach of summer faster than anyone else – in March, the thermometer quickly rises to +20 ° C and many immediately switch from winter jackets to short-sleeved clothes. At the same time, it is still cool in the north, about +13 ° C (at night no more than + 5-10 ° C), it is often rainy.

April

In April, many people open the beach season – if not for swimming, then for sunbathing. In the south, at least 20 degrees of heat is recorded and the sun shines brightly, periodically drizzling. The northern and central regions are also beginning to feel the arrival of heat, having +15-18 °C “overboard” during the day and at least +12 °C at night.

May

Traditionally, the end of the spring cycle is no less generous with precipitation. At the same time, if summer temperatures of +24 ° C are set in the southern territories and the sea warms up to + 18-20 ° C, then the northerners are in no hurry to start water procedures: daytime air is just beginning to approach +20 ° C, water is heated only to + 15-17°C.

Summer

Summer is the time when high temperatures come to Spain and it gets really hot. During the day, the thermometer rises to + 35-40 ° C, in the south and above. On such days, prudent Spaniards sunbathe “in the shade”, that is, under a canopy or retire for an afternoon siesta. At the same time, the sea breeze makes staying at seaside resorts more comfortable.

June

June days are considered to be the best for seaside holidays – it is still not hot, around +25 °C, but it is already possible to sunbathe and swim (average water is +21 °C). Warm dry weather is established throughout the country, which allows even the northerners to forget about the umbrella for a while.

July

In the middle of summer, heat comes to the peninsula: the air warms up to +30-35 °C, and even higher in some southern regions. The night brings some freshness, but even then the thermometer shows at least +20 ° C. Precipitation is rare, more often recorded in the northern provinces.

August

Like July, August weather is characterized by day and night heat and complete absence of rain. The warm sea (+24-26 °C) is great for swimming. Despite the heat, most of the inhabitants of the Kingdom traditionally choose this month for their holidays, so the resorts are filled with crowds of tourists.

Autumn

During the velvet season, the heat subsides significantly, the air and water are pleasantly warm, so this period is recognized by many as the best for sightseeing trips without crowds, and for a beach holiday. In October-November, bad weather comes to some regions, however, with the exception of the northern provinces, it is intense, but not protracted.

September

The beginning of the autumn period is not much different from summer – the temperature drops by only a couple of degrees, to + 25-28 ° C, although the weather can be hot until October. In the second half of the month, the sun is not so active, but the sea waters are still warm, not lower than + 22-24 ° C, which allows even families with children to swim.

October

The October Sea, warming up to +16-21°C, is still conducive to water procedures, although the air continues to cool down: the average value is around +20-22°C. At the same time, the coolness of the night is already reminiscent of the approach of winter – in the dark, the thermometer does not rise above +15 ° C.

November

The end of autumn in the Kingdom is noticeably colder – it is maximum +15 °C outside, rains and winds are not uncommon. Only brave foreigners dare to swim – the water is not warmer than +15 ° C (in the south – up to +19°C).

Beach tourist seasons in the resorts of Spain

It is customary to swim in most of the country from May to October. Fans of the warm sea choose the period from July to September, when it warms up to a comfortable + 24-26C, while those who are not averse to refreshing can take a dip from April to November. However, in some areas, which are warm throughout most of the year, you can swim and sunbathe until the onset of winter. These include:

Canary Islands;

Costa del Sol;

Almeria;

Murcia;

Valencia;

Costa Blanca.

Sightseeing tourist seasons

Spring and autumn are undoubtedly the most suitable for sightseeing trips to the Kingdom of Spain, for example, to the regions of Castile, Andalusia, the Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands. During these periods, you can visit most of the attractions without the tiring heat, tourist crowds and inflated prices, and if you’re lucky with the weather, sunbathe and swim in the still warm sea. An additional plus is that a trip during sales, that is, in January and July, will save on shopping.

Must-have clothing

Spain’s climate is favorable almost all year round, with a record 300 days of sunshine, so travel recommendations rarely include thick sweaters or earflaps. Regardless of whether we are talking about a beach holiday or sightseeing, it makes sense to bet on natural fabrics and comfortable shoes – it is better to discover the most interesting corners of the Kingdom on your own two feet. Many Spaniards are adept at layering, which allows them to feel comfortable at any time of the day, easily modifying the outfit during the day. Further advice may vary from region to region.

Thus, going to the north of the country, it is necessary to take into account the difference between daytime and evening temperatures – even the warmest sunny days are replaced by cool nights. Therefore, closed shoes, a warm top and a scarf for the neck should be added to the standard wardrobe, and on an autumn trip – a scarf, jacket, boots and an obligatory umbrella.

Traveling south involves a less relaxed mode of gathering – even in the cold season, boots and a raincoat are unlikely to be needed. In the summer months, it is recommended to take cotton clothes with a sleeve that will not allow you to burn, light sandals and an indispensable hat, in winter you can take an additional light jacket or raincoat, a sweater and comfortable boots or sneakers.

Despite the fact that in Spain there are pleasant sunny days almost all year round, in order for your stay in the country not to be overshadowed by the vagaries of the weather, you need to properly prepare. Barcelona Realty Group is a reliable assistant in choosing the best place for your vacation. Our managers will help you decide on the choice of the region to visit, taking into account the climate, purpose of the trip, preferences (mountains, beach, excursions). Whatever climate zone you choose, you will be warm and comfortable with us! Find out more about where it is best to relax in Spanish territory by calling us by phone or filling out an online form.

Building houses in Spain: how much does it cost to build a villa with your own hands

April 28, 2021

Barcelona Realty Group experts are often asked about the possibility of building houses in Spain with their own hands. What is the reason for this interest? After all, the sunny Kingdom is replete with real estate offers for every taste – there are no limits to variations in housing sizes, architectural style and prices. The fact is that the search for an acceptable option abroad takes a lot of time, and one inevitably has to put up with quite significant shortcomings. So, in ready-made villas, all the finishing materials (sometimes cheap and low-quality) have already been chosen for you, the layout (not always logical) and the facade (sometimes nondescript) have been imposed on you. As a result, there are continuous compromises and there is no trace left of the image of your ideal estate….

Living expenses in Spain: how much does it cost to live in the country – living prices

January 27, 2021

High standard of living, high-quality medical care, centuries-old education, excellent climate – all this has long made Russians reach out to the Spanish expanses. Even if the decision to move to Spain has been made and is not subject to revision, sooner or later the issue of the cost of living in the country and the prices for basic expenses, on which family budget planning depends, comes to the fore. How much do local products cost? Does the communal apartment “eat up” a lot? What will be the cost of children’s education, transport, insurance? Leaving aside individual requests, which are always highly individual, and focusing on basic provision, living in the Kingdom can be attributed to one of the cheapest in Europe. With a monthly salary of 1600 euros, i.e. 20% lower than the EU average, most Spaniards can afford 2-3 meals a week, a gym membership and 1-2 foreign trips a year. We list the main cost items in the Kingdom, if you are determined to turn from a tourist into a resident.

Changeling?

The disappearance of a child is a subject which was often filmed ;in the last decade ,”flightplan” and ” changeling” come to mind . And ,as Michelangelo Antonioni showed in “L’Avventura” ,an island is the ideal place to locate such a story,although his was a desert one.People living on an island are often (if you go by what the screenwriters write,of course,so islanders ,please ,don’t feel offended! ) places where the inhabitants are bizarre,hostile and do not like strangers .

“Hierro” is not like the two other American movies :it is a story of paranoia ,in which reality and nightmare collide.When the heroine is in the mortuary ,the audience sides with her and anyway who could accept such a thing:the death of your only child ?Even the police seem suspect ,even the young one who wants to lend a helping hand.This is a slow-moving story,a wandering across splendid but gloomy landscapes, a wandering in the recesses of her mind too for this is primarily a psychological drama . A bit confused, but a laudable attempt.

By what name was Hierro (2009) officially released in Canada in English?

El Hierro, the island with soul

Can an island have a soul? To answer that question, you have to visit El Hierro, the youngest Canary Island, as it emerged ‘just’ 1.1 million years ago. It’s difficult to explain the magic of this little, volcanic, Atlantic island, a place of peace and tranquillity where you can forget about stress and hurry.

Contenido

Well-known to diving enthusiasts, who come from all over the world to find excellent conditions and incredible underwater landscapes here, it is also the island of sustainability. El Hierro is en route to being fully energy self-sufficient through clean, renewable energies.

Contenido

Volcanoes, lava flows, lush forests of Canary Island pine trees and laurisilva, trees that bow down to the wind, abrupt cliffs, relaxing natural pools, dizzying views… That’s El Hierro: enigmatic, awe-inspiring, a shelter where you can disconnect from busy modern life and enjoy the springtime climate that reigns in the Canary Islands all year round.

The gastronomy on this island declared a biosphere reserve also plays a part in making our stay unforgettable, with fresh products from the land and sea of extraordinary quality, without forgetting its wines with their designation of origin and original cakes for treating our taste buds.

Yes, an island can have a soul. And El Hierro does.

Póster

Contenido

A diving paradise
With more than 40 dive points, El Hierro is a true paradise for divers of all nationalities, who consider the island one of the best places on the planet for scuba diving.

Several factors concur to bring well-deserved fame to this little territory, which includes one of the three marine reserves in the Canary Islands. The main one is the transparency of its waters, which allow visibility of up to 30 metres, combined with a large variety of species and spectacular underwater volcanic landscapes.

Contenido

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a professional or a beginner. You can go diving in El Hierro, regardless of your level, as there are schools where you can get started and hire all the equipment you need. And if you decide to discover the island’s seabed, please: don’t forget your camera! Here’s a tip too: the ‘Open Fotosub Internacional Isla de El Hierro’, one of the most important underwater photography championships in the world, is held here every year.

Imagen

Contenido

Different scenery at every step
The smallness of the island does not prevent you from finding a surprising variety of scenery on it. Best of all is that, as the distances are so short, we can have a relaxing swim at the coast one minute and be walking along a trail among Canary Island pines or laurisilva species a short while later. One of the most famous trails is the Camino de Jinama, an old route that used to be used by the island’s inhabitants, just over 3 kilometres long and with lots of ups and downs, but the reward at the end of it is incredible.

On the way to the highest areas of the island, we can stop at any of the vantage points to contemplate dizzying views such as the majestic Valle de El Golfo, formed after a mega-landslide thousands of years ago, and abrupt cliffs that the sea crashes up against. Or not. Because the ocean around this island is also on its best behaviour: with the absolute calm of the La Restinga-Mar de las Calmas Marine Reserve.

Contenido

There is no lack of striking volcanic landscapes on El Hierro either, such as the surroundings of the Faro de Orchilla, the lighthouse at the place considered the end of the world in ancient times and where the Zero Meridian was established until it was moved to Greenwich in 1884. If we didn’t know that America is on the other side of the ocean, it would really seem like we were at the edge of the planet. Sober, awe-inspiring scenery where we make out volcanoes, extensive flows where the lava contorts, the absolute silence… Thrilling!

Contenido

Tacorón, near the famous town of La Restinga and El Mar de las Calmas, is an idyllic bathing area, with calm, crystalline water and areas for sunbathing and others in the shade, where you can have a pleasant picnic.

Contenido

Natural pools
There are barely any beaches on El Hierro, which doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the sun and sea at any of the island’s paradisiacal natural pools. One of them is the famous Charco Azul, named ‘blue pond’ for its transparent, turquoise waters. Dug out of the base of the volcanic cliff, it is the perfect place to relax, enjoy a splash in its dreamy water and forget the world.

Also, on the Valle de El Golfo coast and sheltered from the marine currents are the La Maceta natural pools with sunbathing and picnic areas, especially perfect for enjoying with the family. Another must-visit for anyone who doesn’t want to miss a drop of sun or a relaxing swim is Tamaduste, a fabulous place on the El Hierro coastline known for its calm waters, the beauty of its surroundings and the peace found in this little village, where you can also try the island gastronomy at any of its restaurants.

Contenido

El Hierro from the air
If El Hierro is a fascinating experience on land and under the sea, the sensation of viewing the landscape from the air, with the wind as your only companion, is indescribable. The trade winds and the island orography mean you can hang glide any day of the year, so opportunity won’t be wanting. And if, to the excellent conditions, we add the services of professional instructors who accompany us at all times and provide us with the necessary materials, there’s no excuse not to. Now we only need one answer: do you dare?

Contenido

Enjoy the island’s gastronomy and wines
Fresh fish is the star of El Hierro cuisine. It is a real pleasure to have some with typical wrinkly potatoes and ‘mojo’ sauce and, of course, some delicious island cheese made using traditional methods. This product from the El Hierro gastronomy goes with most dishes and is even the basis for making delicious cakes such as the famous ‘quesadillas’. When you try them, you are sure to keep a space in your suitcase to take some home with you and continue enjoying this delicacy for your taste buds.

Of course, we also have to try the tropical fruit grown on this volcanic land. Pineapples, of unbeatable quality, are a good example that always surprise people.

Imagen

Contenido

Other typical island dishes are limpets, rabbit and kid. If we add the fabulous wines with El Hierro designation of origin to this, we will have all the flavours of the island that will form part of our indelible experience in this little Atlantic territory.

Contenido

Don’t leave without trying…
‘Quesadilla’ is the dessert par excellence on El Hierro. Its main ingredient is the cheese made traditionally on the islands, in addition to eggs, aniseed, lemon peel, sugar and cinnamon.

Iron is a mineral that our bodies need for many functions. For example, iron is part of hemoglobin, a protein which carries oxygen from our lungs throughout our bodies. It helps our muscles store and use oxygen. Iron is also part of many other proteins and enzymes.

Your body needs the right amount of iron. If you have too little iron, you may develop iron deficiency anemia. Causes of low iron levels include blood loss, poor diet, or an inability to absorb enough iron from foods. People at higher risk of having too little iron are young children and women who are pregnant or have periods.

Too much iron can damage your body. Taking too many iron supplements can cause iron poisoning. Some people have an inherited disease called hemochromatosis. It causes too much iron to build up in the body.

Iron deficiency anemia – Symptoms and causes

Overview

Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia — a condition in which blood lacks adequate healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body’s tissues.

As the name implies, iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. Without enough iron, your body can’t produce enough of a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen (hemoglobin). As a result, iron deficiency anemia may leave you tired and short of breath.

You can usually correct iron deficiency anemia with iron supplementation. Sometimes additional tests or treatments for iron deficiency anemia are necessary, especially if your doctor suspects that you’re bleeding internally.

Products & Services

Book: Taking Care of You

Nutritional Supplements at Mayo Clinic Store

Symptoms

Initially, iron deficiency anemia can be so mild that it goes unnoticed. But as the body becomes more deficient in iron and anemia worsens, the signs and symptoms intensify.

Iron deficiency anemia signs and symptoms may include:

Extreme fatigue

Weakness

Pale skin

Chest pain, fast heartbeat or shortness of breath

Headache, dizziness or lightheadedness

Cold hands and feet

Inflammation or soreness of your tongue

Brittle nails

Unusual cravings for non-nutritive substances, such as ice, dirt or starch

Poor appetite, especially in infants and children with iron deficiency anemia

When to see a doctor

If you or your child develops signs and symptoms that suggest iron deficiency anemia, see your doctor. Iron deficiency anemia isn’t something to self-diagnose or treat. So see your doctor for a diagnosis rather than taking iron supplements on your own. Overloading the body with iron can be dangerous because excess iron accumulation can damage your liver and cause other complications.

Causes

Iron deficiency anemia occurs when your body doesn’t have enough iron to produce hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the part of red blood cells that gives blood its red color and enables the red blood cells to carry oxygenated blood throughout your body.

If you aren’t consuming enough iron, or if you’re losing too much iron, your body can’t produce enough hemoglobin, and iron deficiency anemia will eventually develop.

Causes of iron deficiency anemia include:

Blood loss. Blood contains iron within red blood cells. So if you lose blood, you lose some iron. Women with heavy periods are at risk of iron deficiency anemia because they lose blood during menstruation. Slow, chronic blood loss within the body — such as from a peptic ulcer, a hiatal hernia, a colon polyp or colorectal cancer — can cause iron deficiency anemia. Gastrointestinal bleeding can result from regular use of some over-the-counter pain relievers, especially aspirin.

A lack of iron in your diet. Your body regularly gets iron from the foods you eat. If you consume too little iron, over time your body can become iron deficient. Examples of iron-rich foods include meat, eggs, leafy green vegetables and iron-fortified foods. For proper growth and development, infants and children need iron from their diets, too.

An inability to absorb iron. Iron from food is absorbed into your bloodstream in your small intestine. An intestinal disorder, such as celiac disease, which affects your intestine’s ability to absorb nutrients from digested food, can lead to iron deficiency anemia. If part of your small intestine has been bypassed or removed surgically, that may affect your ability to absorb iron and other nutrients.

Pregnancy. Without iron supplementation, iron deficiency anemia occurs in many pregnant women because their iron stores need to serve their own increased blood volume as well as be a source of hemoglobin for the growing fetus.

Risk factors

These groups of people may have an increased risk of iron deficiency anemia:

Women. Because women lose blood during menstruation, women in general are at greater risk of iron deficiency anemia.

Infants and children. Infants, especially those who were low birth weight or born prematurely, who don’t get enough iron from breast milk or formula may be at risk of iron deficiency. Children need extra iron during growth spurts. If your child isn’t eating a healthy, varied diet, he or she may be at risk of anemia.

Vegetarians. People who don’t eat meat may have a greater risk of iron deficiency anemia if they don’t eat other iron-rich foods.

Frequent blood donors. People who routinely donate blood may have an increased risk of iron deficiency anemia since blood donation can deplete iron stores. Low hemoglobin related to blood donation may be a temporary problem remedied by eating more iron-rich foods. If you’re told that you can’t donate blood because of low hemoglobin, ask your doctor whether you should be concerned.

Complications

Mild iron deficiency anemia usually doesn’t cause complications. However, left untreated, iron deficiency anemia can become severe and lead to health problems, including the following:

Heart problems. Iron deficiency anemia may lead to a rapid or irregular heartbeat. Your heart must pump more blood to compensate for the lack of oxygen carried in your blood when you’re anemic. This can lead to an enlarged heart or heart failure.

Problems during pregnancy. In pregnant women, severe iron deficiency anemia has been linked to premature births and low birth weight babies. But the condition is preventable in pregnant women who receive iron supplements as part of their prenatal care.

Growth problems. In infants and children, severe iron deficiency can lead to anemia as well as delayed growth and development. Additionally, iron deficiency anemia is associated with an increased susceptibility to infections.

Prevention

You can reduce your risk of iron deficiency anemia by choosing iron-rich foods.

Choose iron-rich foods

Foods rich in iron include:

Red meat, pork and poultry

Seafood

Beans

Dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach

Dried fruit, such as raisins and apricots

Iron-fortified cereals, breads and pastas

Peas

Your body absorbs more iron from meat than it does from other sources. If you choose to not eat meat, you may need to increase your intake of iron-rich, plant-based foods to absorb the same amount of iron as does someone who eats meat.

Choose foods containing vitamin C to enhance iron absorption

You can enhance your body’s absorption of iron by drinking citrus juice or eating other foods rich in vitamin C at the same time that you eat high-iron foods. Vitamin C in citrus juices, like orange juice, helps your body to better absorb dietary iron.

Vitamin C is also found in:

Broccoli

Grapefruit

Kiwi

Leafy greens

Melons

Oranges

Peppers

Strawberries

Tangerines

Tomatoes

Preventing iron deficiency anemia in infants

To prevent iron deficiency anemia in infants, feed your baby breast milk or iron-fortified formula for the first year. Cow’s milk isn’t a good source of iron for babies and isn’t recommended for infants under 1 year. After age 6 months, start feeding your baby iron-fortified cereals or pureed meats at least twice a day to boost iron intake. After one year, be sure children don’t drink more than 20 ounces (591 milliliters) of milk a day. Too much milk often takes the place of other foods, including those that are rich in iron.

Hierro Island. Spain in Russian – all about life in Spain

Hierro is the smallest of the seven inhabited Canary Islands. Its area is only 268 square kilometers. He occupies the most western position in the archipelago, the first of his brothers to meet the waves rolling on the Canary Islands from the Atlantic, and the last to see off the sun leaning towards sunset.

The shores of the island are rocky, steep, rising sharply from the sea surface upwards, sometimes to a height of up to a thousand meters. The border between land and sea is criss-crossed with many bays, “concave” into the island body and serving as natural pools, inviting to swim.

Hierro is a growing island. Thanks to the occasionally awakening underwater volcano located nearby, the rocks rise higher and higher – the volcanic activity of December 2013 added another 5.7 centimeters to this piece of Atlantic land.

There are no sandy beaches on Hierro, but for diving enthusiasts, the depths of the sea, starting almost from the very shore, are exactly what they have been looking for for so long. For lovers of “surface” swimming, numerous natural pools are suitable, formed as a result of the movement of lava many thousands and even millions of years ago: Charco Manso, Charco Azul, Charco del Pozo dc las Calcosas, Charco de los Sargos, Charco de la Tabla.

They say that this is an island of those colors: black – from volcanic rocks, blue – from the fresh Atlantic, green – from vineyards and the rare beauty of forests.

The vine has been cultivated on the island since the 16th century, and the old wineries that produce the famous strong local wine – “vino de pata”, as the locals call it, who almost all own small plots of land – are still preserved to this day – vineyards are cultivated on them. Ordinary varieties adapted to the characteristics of the volcanic soil and changed under the influence of the subtropical climate, which affected the taste of the wine, making it special.

The word “special” is generally very characteristic of the vegetation of this island – where else in Spain can you find a laurel that grows not as individual trees-bushes (scientists still have not agreed which term more accurately defines this sample of flora), but as whole forests? The green component of Hierro’s palette is complemented by fluffy Canary pine and heather that covers the meadows with its lilac-pink flower petals.

The fauna of the island is represented mainly by birds, among which there are many songbirds (canary, goldfinch, chaffinch, robin, thrush) and birds of prey (eagle, hawk, owl).

The nature of more than half of the island’s territory has the right of inviolability: in 2000, UNESCO awarded this unique place the status of a bioreserve.

The symbols of Hierro, officially approved by the Government of the Canary Islands, are the giant lizard (lagarto gigante de El Hierro) and the red-fruited juniper (sabina).

Once upon a time, Hierro was, figuratively speaking, the “starting point of the world” – in 1634, French scientists took the longitude of the island as the westernmost point in Europe (since 1405, Hierro belongs to Spain, and therefore is considered a European territory) for the zero meridian. In the French manner, called “Meridian Ferro”. The then geographers believed that Paris was exactly 20º from the zero line of the world. Later studies established a small (23 minutes and 9 seconds) error in the calculation of the position of the French capital, but the island was not deprived of the title of Meridian Ferro.

The population of Hierro is, according to the National Institute of Statistics of Spain, 10.690 people (as of January 1, 2010)

The largest settlement is the capital of the island, Valverde, where about five thousand inhabitants are concentrated. The uninterrupted movement of the tourist anthill of Yerro is not typical – throughout its resort (so far short) history, this piece of land lost in the ocean has a reputation as a “paradise for silent people” – the unhurried drowsy lifestyle of the islanders is in perfect harmony with the needs for silence and solitude of those who come here, to switch off the fuss and frantic working rhythms of our time.

The attractions of the island primarily include the Punta Grande Club Hotel, information about which can be found even in the Guinness Book of Records – this hotel is the smallest in the world.

Also included in the category of must-see places:

– Viewpoints Mirador de la Peña and Mirador de la Playa, from where excellent views of the coves, cliffs, sea and (in the first case) the valley of the vineyards of Valle del Golfo open;

– Church of Iglesia Matriz de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción – baroque building, built in the 18th-19th centuries;

– Juniper forests in the towns of El Hulan and La Dehesa – the trees here grow in bizarre shapes – constantly blowing winds bend the century-old juniper in the most unusual way, perhaps without tying it in a knot.

– The traditional cuisine of Hierro is practically the same as in the rest of the Canaries, it consists mainly of fish dishes (thanks to the status of the island), which are served as a side dish with potatoes, pasta and vegetables. The meat is usually rabbit or goat. Wine here is preferred by its own production (El Golfo wine cooperative), made according to old recipes.

Apartamentos Boomerang I

Tamaduste (0.8 miles from El Hierro)

These standard apartments are located on the coast, just 250 meters from Tamaduste Beach. It features a TV and a balcony with scenic ocean views.
El Tamaduste is a short drive from El Hierro’s small (but very modern) airport, but don’t worry, there are only about 7 flights a day and they are with very quiet turboprop aircraft so not a disturbance. The crowning glory of the apartment is the view from the balcony. They are built directly on top of an old lava flow and you can look down and see the sea crashing onto the rocks, it really is mesmerising and the photos in the description are spot on. There is no heating in the apartment, which didn’t bother us because it was nice and warm even though it was late December. If you turn left from the entrance to the apartments it will take you to a sea inlet around which walkways and bathing platforms have been built, it is very well done and a pleasant walk. Upon arrival into El Hierro, it may be a good idea to drive straight up to Villa de Valverde (the ‘capital) and visit one of the largest supermarkets there to get stocked up. There is a mini-market in Tamaduste which doesn’t show up on internet maps and is good for essentials but with a limited range. Check out the opening times of the pizza place in the village, they are cooked to order and excellent, but get there early because they are clearly very popular! You must have a car to explore El Hierro which is unlike any other of the Canary Islands as it is not developed for tourism. We found Tamaduste a great base from which to explore, and the Boomerang Apartments a great place to stay, but phone zombies beware, there is no internet!

90,000 Fernando Yerro: “I leave this world championship with a clear conscience”

July 1, 2018 21:42 9000 post-match press conference at Luzhniki

Spain’s coach Fernando Hierro.Photo: REUTERS

Fernando Hierro was appointed head coach of Spain a day before the start of the World Cup. Under his leadership, the Spaniards flew out already in the 1/8 finals of the tournament, losing in a penalty shootout to the Russian team. The mentor at the post-match press conference said that he was leaving the tournament with a clear conscience.

– How do you feel?

– Like all Spaniards this evening. We have come here with great ambitions. And we know how the fans feel. Needless to say, the team is broken. In football, there is a thin line between winning and losing. Before the players took the field, I said: “Play this World Cup with pleasure, we are ready to compete with any team, we must leave the field with our heads held high.” All 23 people are professionals.

– Why didn’t you put Iniesta on the field right away?

– We knew this match could be long. We studied our opponent well and thought that in the 70th minute something would need to be corrected. Iniesta is a professional. But he played as if he was playing for the national team for the first time on the field.

– How is the team feeling? Spain excelled everyone. What was missing?

– We didn’t lose even a single game in regular time and that’s a fact. At the group stage, if you slipped in one game, then you can fix it later. And here – no chance for correction. It was necessary to show will, character. By the end of the first added half, we decided that we could take the risk. And we need to try to snatch victory. But it was difficult. Every day we understand that it is difficult to attack a team that has all 11 on the defensive. 120 minutes we played with the opponent, we played very professionally. When necessary, we accelerated. Our team has a personality. This is football. It’s a very thin line – win and lose.

– If you are left as a coach, would you agree?

– It doesn’t bother me now. I think we should share this pain. But we came here with ambition. We took the best players to the national team, but did not show the football that was expected of us. You haven’t lost a single match out of 20 before the World Cup.

– Don’t you think that the Spanish Football Federation is to blame for today’s match?

– No, no! You can’t point fingers at each other right now. Let’s be realistic. The situation went like this. And let’s call a spade a spade. There is no point in digging into the past. I am the head coach, I was appointed to the position 3 days before it. I feel responsible for the Spanish team. I never avoid guilt and I leave this World Cup with a completely calm heart.

– 45 minutes into the first half were an opportunity to break through. You had the ball 75% of the time, which didn’t work?

– Maybe not everyone understood right away. We had those players that you saw on the field. Maybe it was necessary to transfer the ball more into the opponent’s penalty area. We had players on the flanks, in the center. We had 5 or 6 chances to score a goal and I think that apart from penalties our goalkeeper was on holiday today. This is our style of play. We tried as quickly as possible to reach the penalty area. They wanted to use our advantages, 20 minutes before the end of the match they brought in a driven forward.

– After the victories of Spain, the rest of the world learned how to neutralize the Spaniards well?

– Each World Cup has its own trends. We won three tournaments and a lot of things have changed. Now we see that some teams play with five defenders. We thought we forgot about it a long time ago. There are direct transfers, people move from flank to flank. We had a mood, we have a style, an identity, it is recognizable. We have good young players.

– Can this Russian team go to the semi-finals of the World Cup?

– I don’t want to evaluate the team, let the coach do it. They have high players and our strategy was chosen correctly. We wish Russia all the best, let them reach the level they deserve. In the next game, maybe they will change the style of play again.

Legendary football player of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team Fernando Hierro

Author Ivan For reading 7 min Views 1.3k. Fernando Hierro was one of the best defenders of his time and one of the best scorer defenders in all of football history.

Content

Fernando Ruiz Hierro

968 years old.
Height: 188 cm.

Biography and career of a football player

Fernando Hierro was born in the Spanish city of Velez-Malaga. He started playing football from early childhood, since the examples were before his eyes – his two older brothers Antonio and Manuel also became professional football players.

In the future, Hierro Jr. outdid his brothers, but he did not succeed immediately. In the local club Velez-Malaga, where Hierro began his career, he was recognized as unpromising, and he had to get a job on the side.

Real Valladolid

1987-1989

“There would be no luck, but misfortune helped” – this is the saying that fits Fernando Hierro in the best possible way. Valladolid was looking for a central defender to strengthen the bench for safety net for the first team players and signed the 19-year-old Hierro.

But the rookie pretty quickly won his place in the sun and became a player in the starting lineup, surprisingly quickly getting used to the difficult position of a libero for a young guy.

In the 1988-1989 season, Valladolid finished in an unusually high sixth position in the championship, and also reached the final of the Copa del Rey. At the end of that season, Hierro received an offer from Real Madrid.

Real Madrid

1989-2003

“Royal Club” paid 1 million 200 thousand dollars for his transfer – a huge amount for those times for a football player, especially a defender. However, one must think that in Madrid they never regretted the amount spent – Real Madrid acquired a reliable central defender for many years.

In addition to performing his immediate duties, Fernando Hierro discovered his talent as a scorer. A powerful well-placed shot allowed him to score not only from free kicks and penalties, but also from the game. If you remember all the owners of the strike that terrified the goalkeepers, then, in my opinion, Fernando Hierro is second only to Roberto Carlos and Ronald Koeman.

But unlike them, Hierro played great with his head and scored a lot of goals from the “second floor”. In total, during his career, Fernando Hierro scored 163 goals in official matches, most of which were scored for Real Madrid. Particularly impressive are his stats in season 1992-1993 – 26 goals scored, 21 of them in the Spanish Championship (second result)!

Of course, it must be taken into account that the coaches sometimes used Fernando Hierro in the center of midfield, but the key word here is “sometimes”, especially since such a result cannot be called anything other than outstanding for a defensive midfielder.

But that’s not all. In addition to a reliable defender and scorer, Fernando Hierro became the captain of Real Madrid, his legend, having won almost every possible trophy with the team.

Retirement

Al Rayyan – 2003-2004.

Bolton – 2004-2005.

Only at the age of 35, Hierro said goodbye to Real Madrid and went to work in Qatar, where he played for Al Rayyan for a season, in which he won the Qatar Emir Cup.

However, a year later, Fernando Hierro unexpectedly, apparently missing real football, leaves for England. It is clear that in the conditions of tough and fast Premier League football, it was difficult for the veteran, but 29 matches for the sixth team of the Premier League for a 36-year-old football player is more than worthy.

It was only after this that Hierro announced his retirement.

Spanish national team

1989-2002

Fernando Hierro made his debut in the Spanish national team in September 1989, and the following year he went to the 1990 World Cup, where, however, he did not appear on the field.

But in the next three World Cups and two European Championships (1996 and 2000) Fernando Hierro was a base player, and in the last two tournaments (Euro 2000 and World Cup 2002) he was also the team captain.

In those years, the Spaniards were pursued by some kind of rock, they were constantly eliminated at the quarter-final stage, and these departures were quite offensive: at the 1994 World Cup they got a goal in their own net in the last minutes of the match with the Italians, two years later they lost to the British on penalties, and were eliminated from Euro 2000 after Raul did not score a 11-meter kick at the end of the meeting with the French.

But still, the most offensive was the departure from the 2002 World Cup, when in a match with South Korea, one of the organizing countries of the tournament, the Egyptian referee Jamal al-Ghandour did not count two clean goals for the Spanish team, and as a result, she lost in the penalty shootout . Hierro realized his attempt, but Joaquin’s mistake decided everything.

In total, Fernando Hierro played 89 matches for Spain and scored 29 goals. This is the fifth result in history only for recognized goalscorers David Villa, Raul, Fernando Torres and attacking midfielder David Silva.

Fernando Hierro – coach

Fernando Hierro’s coaching career is not rich in events – he worked for a year in the Real Madrid coaching staff, in the 2016-2017 season he headed Real Oviedo, which under his leadership took 8th place in the Segunda, after which the contract was terminated by mutual agreement of the parties.

Fernando Hierro had a chance to work with the Spanish national team, and it happened under circumstances that can safely be called extreme. The day before the start of the 2018 World Cup, Spain coach Julen Lopetegui was fired from his post (an unprecedented case!) – his secret negotiations with the management of Real Madrid surfaced.

The position of sports director of the national team was occupied by Fernando Hierro, and he had to lead the national team. After the defeat in the 1/8 finals from the Russian team in the penalty shootout, accusations of cowardice rained down on Hierro. Indeed, they had grounds for themselves – after a goal scored, the Spaniards actually abandoned active actions, and were not very zealous when the Russians equalized the score.

During that match, I constantly felt that I had seen something like this somewhere, but then I remembered. It was the 1/8 final match of the 2002 World Cup Spain – Ireland. The Spaniards also then scored a quick goal (Fernando Morientes scored in the 8th minute), then gave up the initiative and conceded the same from the penalty spot.

So we can say that the Hierro-coach stepped on a rake that was well known to the Hierro-player. Or maybe he was counting on winning the penalty shootout, as then, in 2002?

But be that as it may, after the end of the World Cup, Fernando Hierro left the Spanish national team, never returning to the position of sports director.

Family and personal life of Fernando Hierro

Fernando Hierro is divorced and has two adult children – daughter Claudia and son Alvaro. By the way, Claudia Hierro is a very spectacular girl, she is successfully mastering the modeling business.

Interesting Facts

Hierro scored in three world championships (he scored five goals in total), which is simply an outstanding achievement for a defender.

Fernando Hierro set a record for La Liga defenders by scoring in 15 consecutive seasons. Only in 2018 this achievement was repeated by another Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos.

In 1998-1999, Fernando Hierro had a 6-match goal streak for Spain.

Northern Coast of Spain Travel Guide

For a long time, I wanted to visit the northern coast of Spain. I know, a lot of people prefer the southern region with its Moorish sights, flamenco, stunning beaches, whitewashed villages, milder winters, and fiestas.

But I feel that cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, or Seville have taken all the attention. Plus, from late spring to fall when everyone goes to southern Spain, that region becomes very crowded.

Mark and I spent a good chunk of time going on road trips from Barcelona to Valencia, visiting vineyards in the south of Spain, and exploring Costa Brava Region. There we wandered to small inland villages and walked the streets of busy cities. And we seriously loved it.

Yet, for some reason, it didn’t leave a feeling that we wanted to return, perhaps rent an apartment for a longer period of time and discover more of the region. Maybe the reason was that the scenery and nature reminded us a lot about Southern California where our life was too stressful, I am not sure. But southwest of Spain didn’t impress us as much as the north.

In northern Spain, we also had much more time to spend since we decided to come for a couple of months and turn into locals for a bit. And that long holiday left a lasting impression. The north Spain coast actually made us change our perception of Spain completely. The more time we were spending there, the more we were falling in love with it.

So I wanted to write this post and share our favorite north Spain places and attractions. If you are visiting Spain for the first time and wondering if the northern region is worth your time, it definitely is! Because it’s simply impossible not to enjoy it. See below why!

Northern Spain Travel Guide – What Makes This Region So Special

Northern Spain is Greener and Cooler

I remember how dry and kind of dead the grass and plants in southern Spain looked at the end of November. And this is how they look like during most of the year. I know, every winter rain brings them back to life but late spring and summer heat and sun make them fade away again.

It is very common for Spain to be portrayed as a country with sun-scorched mountains and plains with endless olive plantations. I think it deserves its title when we look at the bigger part of Spain. But after a visit to Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia, and Basque counties, it comes as a pleasant surprise how green actually vegetation can get. And not only during the winter. Even in summer, it gets so green and so bright that you easily get stunned by the natural beauty around.

Surprisingly, because of the Gulf Stream, the climate in northern Spain is much more temperate than many can expect from a land of this latitude. This part has a maritime climate, with cooler (but still pleasant) summers and mild winters. July and August are the driest months, although rains are not uncommon.

This photo went through minimum editing. It just gets so bright and green in northern Spain

In the summer, the thermometer, as a rule, shows + 25º-30ºС (77F-86F,) and in the winter + 15°С (60F.) In the mountainous region of Picos de Europa, which lies at an altitude of more than 2,500 meters, the alpine climate reigns throughout the year. There you can see how the mountain peaks are always covered with snow.

Northern Spain is a unique place. It has an incredibly beautiful coast, where cliffs alternate with long beaches with clean fine sand, and snow-capped mountain peaks rise above coniferous and eucalyptus forests. The local population is affable and I can not call their rhythm of life anything other than leisurely. All this may well be the reason for visiting, buying a home here, or even moving to this region.

Psst: are you curious to know what people wear in this part of the country? Take a look at my Spain packing list.

20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE HIRING A CAR IN SPAIN

Northern Spain Beaches Are Simply Mind-Blowing And Warm To Swim

To be honest, I underestimated the beauty of the north coast of Spain. I expected it to be dramatic and impressive but had no clue it would be that spellbinding. Every time Mark and I go to visit a new coastal city or town we follow the rule of stopping at the local beach, walking around it for a bit, taking a few pictures, and looking at waves crashing on the shore.

And every beach we visited so far looked so different from the previous and next one. Some beaches are wide with calm and sheltered waters perfect for swimming while others are narrow nestled between rocky coastal formations.

There are beaches with white or bright yellow sand and those with shells and pebbles. It doesn’t matter what type of beach along the north coast we go to. Every single one of them captivates us so much that we are ready to run in the water despite the fact that it is early spring.

After the rain on one day in February

You know what’s interesting though. The ocean water along the northern coast of Spain is not as cold as you may think.

If you’ve been to any beach in northern Europe or northern U. S., you have definitely noticed how cold the water was. There, even if it feels warm on the beach, the water stays quite cold far into the summer. I thought the same would apply to northern Spain. But the ocean gets much warmer here in the summer creating perfect conditions for swimming.

Even in February water did not feel that cold at all. A lot of people were sunbathing and enjoying beach activities. We personally didn’t feel comfortable because of the frigid wind.

Northern Coast of Spain Has Some of the Finest Cheeses and Cider

FOR CHEESES…

Did you know that Spain is actually a producer of some of the finest cheeses in Europe? I always thought it was France which remains famous worldwide until this day. When we visited the Cabrales Cheese Cave in Las Arenas we learned that Spain produces more types of cheeses than France. However, since their production is directed mainly on a local market than international, Spanish cheese is not as well-known and popular around the world as their neighbors in France.

Each region in northern Spain makes some type of cheese. Asturias is famous for Cabrales cheese – a blue cheese made with a mixture of sheep, goat, and cow’s milk. Cantabria produces a creamy cheese with a bitter flavor called Nata de Cantabria. Galicia makes a few types of cheeses. One is Tetilla cheese – a creamy one with a salty flavor using cow’s milk only.

Another one is Arzula Illoa – a handmade soft mild cheese made with cow’s milk also but has a bit oily taste. The Basque country is home to Idiazabal cheese – raw sheep’s milk cheese with a hard and smooth crust with an intense aroma and high calcium content. It comes with smoke and creamy flavors.

A visit to a cheese farm is an interesting experience which you can get in any part of northern Spain. And you don’t need to plan it as a separate trip. It is very easy to stop by one of the farms (or stores where they can tell you a bit about the production too) on the way to a hike, beach, national park or when visiting villages or smaller towns. There are quite a few of them scattered along the coast. Just don’t forget about the siesta time when most businesses close for a few hours.

Learning about the process of making blue cheeseWith a cider, you always get some snacks

FOR A CIDER…

Cider is a drink that takes a special place in the lives of local people from Galicia to Basque county. It is an absolute must-try, especially when in Asturias. This region, being home to cider, is full of cider farms (called Sidras.) Some are bigger, some are smaller but all of them tell about the process of making cider and the most interesting part of how to drink and pour it.

When being on a road trip anywhere between Unquera and Cudillero, put in Google maps the word “Sidra” and you’ll see lots of options where to stop for such a unique experience. By the way, the Cabrales Cheese Cave mentioned above includes a cider tasting after the cheese tour.

For a more authentic and entertaining experience, I recommend visiting one of the Taverns or Bars (they can also be called Sidrerias. ) There, you’ll get a taste of cider beverage and witness the process of pouring and drinking it.

If you happen to drive in the evening from Santander to Gijon or back, stop in the tiny town of Villaviciosa. It has a lovely cafe de Vicente Pasteleria with a very friendly barmen and a homey feel. The town itself is pretty unremarkable but its location right near the highway makes it easy to detour. And drinking cider there is an absolutely delightful experience. One big bottle is more than enough for two people.

Sometimes It Feels Like Ireland, Switzerland or Alps

Neither of us has been to Ireland (yet) but we definitely have seen many pictures of Ireland’s coast and fields. On many occasions, when traveling along the Northern coast of Spain we get the impression that the scenery is very similar to that one on Ireland postcards. And then recently, after posting some photos on Instagram, a few friends of mine got back to me saying the same – they recognize how similar the landscapes are.

Have you been to Ireland? When you look at the pictures what do you think?

A drive away from the coast towards the mountains changes the scenery in many ways. Irish motifs slowly turn into Swiss. Lots of twisty roads lead to spectacular vistas, and gorgeous lakes and bring you close to snowy peaks. The coast is only one hour away but it doesn’t feel like it. The greatness of the mountains and surrounding nature make you feel like you are in the deep wilderness.

Food in Northern Spain is Something To Travel For

The culinary richness of the north coast of Spain is represented by a variety of seafood dishes, meat, fresh vegetables and fruits, excellent cheeses, and wines. The choice of seafood is so wide that it’s easy to get lost when in the store or restaurant.

You can also be sure that foods there are always fresh and organic. There are no chemical additives, artificial coloring, or preservatives to make it last longer and taste better. The entire northern coast of Spain has a clean environment and high-quality natural foods.

Cocido montañes, a thick soup made from white beans, meat (pork, ham), cabbage, and blood sausage, is a traditional dish of the region, especially in mountain areas. Paella with seafood and mussels in white wine broth are very popular too.

It Is One of The Least Populated and Touristy Regions

Northern Spain is perfect for those who appreciate quietness, serenity, and a slower pace of life. In general, the region is not heavily populated, so it never feels too busy. Even in larger cities you rarely get disturbed by a hectic lifestyle. During the high tourist season (which is usually summer) you won’t find nearly as many tourists as in southern Spain.

A small population and the absence of a large number of visitors, a competent policy of local authorities in respect of nature and the environment have allowed this region to remain almost in its original state.

The majority of tourists to northern Spain are people who have traveled quite a lot around Spain and Europe. They can compare and understand the advantages of different regions. These people appreciate organic foods and high-quality beverages, can distinguish between natural and manmade beaches, and love nature in its original state.

So you won’t find many tour buses there with tourists standing in line to take photos of a certain landmark. You also won’t find crazy wild nightlife or completely stuffed beaches as in the southern regions of Spain.

Tourists do not come to party here at night and bake under the sun during the day. northern Spain attracts travelers who appreciate slow pace travel and road trips, who love nature in its pristine form, quiet beaches and medieval villages.

How to Travel Around Northern Spain

We traveled by rental car that we hired in Madrid and I believe this is the best way to see north of Spain as Spain in general. In our experience, the best company to rent a car in Spain is DiscoverCars. Besides some of the best deals, they also offer rentals with zero deposit and good insurance package.

They have cars for hire in multiple cities in northern Spain, but bigger fleet and better prices are in Bilbao. You can browse all available options and prices on their site here.

North Spain Weather & Best Time to Visit – Quick Overview

Before you start making any plans and reservations, let’s talk about the weather in northern Spain, so you could understand which month and time of the year will be ideal for you.

And the first thing that you need to remember is that contrary to a popular belief that north Spain is always wet and cold, in reality its climate is ideal for visiting the area in any season of the year. It just depends on what you are looking to do on your trip.

Yes, of course, winters are not as warm as in the south but that does not mean that storms and strong winds are devastating the north of the country all day and night long.

The oceanic climate, that extends from the coast of Galicia to the Pyrenees is mild in winter and relatively warm in summer. Although the temperature does not vary much from season to season as in southern Spain.

Summers are rather cool with average temperature of 22°C. But over the last a few years San Sebastián, Santander, A Coruna and even Vigo saw 30°C in July and August which is warm enough for swimming in the Bay of Biscay.

Spring and fall have similar temperatures, always around 20°C, so this may be the best season for excursions, visits to national parks and farms, hiking and city tours.

Rainfall and strong winds are frequent on the coast, especially in winter, but this does not prevent you from visiting this area, as the average annual temperature is around 15°C. Just don’t forget to pack an umbrella if traveling to this part of Spain from December to February.

Overall, all seasons in northern regions of Spain offer a wide variety of activities, so it just all depends on what you want to do – either to be able to hit wide beaches, rest quietly in the natural landscapes, visit food festival in San Sebastian or go skiing. You choose what to do and north Spain has a perfect season for that!

Best Places to Visit in Northern Spain

Below you’ll find a list of the best cities in northern Spain and must-sees that include some hidden gems, natural wonders, and interesting museums. I include a map of the northern Spain coast with all places to make it easier to understand the location of each of them.

Map of Northern Spain Holiday Destinations

The Best Cities in Northern Spain

There are so many beautiful cities and smaller towns to visit in this part of the country. It gets challenging to describe them all in only one post. So for the beginning, I would love to start with the cities to give a better idea of where to go in northern Spain.

And if you’d love more inspiration, then don’t miss my other post about the most beautiful coastal towns and villages from Basque country to the Galicia region!

Santander

Oh Santander, my love. I am going to praise this city so much because it became a temporary home. Or perchance it is really worth the hype.

Santander is a port city with incredibly beautiful beaches that can be a real attraction on their own.

The ancient white-marble buildings on the streets are interspersed with modern new buildings. And historic palaces rise among areas with urban landscapes.

Modern Santander with a population of only 180,000 people is a large port in Spain with a well-developed infrastructure. Since the beginning of the XX century, due to the fact that the royal family began to come here on vacation, this city has become a fairly fashionable resort.

These days it is not too popular because many tourists don’t know how beautiful nature here is, how clean beaches are, and how many interesting sights are around.

The wide-spread golden sandy beach of El Sardinero is one of the most beautiful beaches in northern Spain. The nearby Piquio gardens compliment the fabulous view of this area.

Visit Santander for ancient architecture, interesting museums, amazing views of the city from above, and some of the best ice cream.

If you’ll have a few days in Santander, I highly recommend visiting Cabarceno Natural Park. This is a unique park with almost 150 species of animals from the five continents that live in a semi-freedom there.

When booking accommodation and thinking about where to stay in Santander, look into the area surrounding hotel Santemar. It is a very lovely quiet area with dramatic views.

Bilbao

The largest city in the Basque Country Bilbao is literally a treasury of world modern culture. Combined with pleasant green surroundings and nearby beaches, it is a perfect city for long visits.

It got famous for its port industry and fishing. However, over time, the city became a center of modern art and architecture. With all the museums, innovative cuisine, and avant-garde architecture Bilbao can’t leave anyone indifferent. It is filled with beautiful old churches, gardens, bars, and the atmosphere of the old city.

Another thing, Bilbao is definitely for art lovers. Famous Guggenheim Museum, which presents contemporary art to the audience, elements of historical architecture tell an interesting story.

There is a subway in the city that reduces traffic jams and makes the city even more comfortable.

Pamplona

Pamplona is a city with a rich history, which was once the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre.

Today, a lot of people know it for the festival of San Fermin when fearless souls tend to get ahead of the herd of bulls running through the city streets (crazy!)

If you are looking to see this type of show with your own eyes then come to visit in July. The festival lasts for 6 days. Just make sure to rent accommodation in advance and check it faces the street where bulls run. Another popular activity that attracts tourists here is bullfighting.

Also, Pamplona is the first city on the Spanish Pilgrim Road. Here you can see many parks, historical monuments, and other fascinating sights.

San Sebastian

Many times San Sebastián was recognized as the most beautiful city in Spain. With its layout and architecture, in some way it resembles Paris. At the same time though, it is quite simple in style, with 5-6 story buildings that look alike. Most of the local buildings belong to the XIX century since in 1813 the city was completely destroyed by the British and Portuguese. It is always very pleasant to go for a stroll and get lost on its pretty streets.

The aristocratic and comfortable San Sebastian has everything you need for a good vacation. It captivates with a developed infrastructure, magnificent beaches, high waves for surfing, interesting sights, one of the best centers of thalassotherapy in La Perla, and very tasty food.

By the way, it is also famous for a huge number of pubs and bars, each of which has its own unique vibe. Thus, for the best experience, try to go on a food tour. Especially popular are pintxo and wine tours.

Speaking of the beaches. Three of the most picturesque beaches La Concha, Ondarreta, and Zurriola make San Sebastián a popular resort city. With easily accessible mountains nearby the coast looks even grander.

Despite the fact that San Sebastian is a small city, a significant international film festival takes place here every year. In July the city hosts a jazz festival and a few other festivals take place throughout the year too.

If you try to stay away from crowds on your travels, it is better to avoid visiting during the festival time.

Oviedo

Oviedo is the capital of the province of Asturias. People from all over Spain know this city well enough due to its religious traditions and many religious monuments.

Pilgrim Road to Santiago goes through Oviedo. Here, truly ancient churches that date back to the eighth century still operate to this date, including the Cathedral of San Salvador and the well-preserved Basilica of San Julian de Los Prados.

Another attraction that you should definitely see is La Foncalada fountain of the 9th century. It represents the Romanesque style and has survived to our days.

Undoubtedly, Oviedo is one of the best cities to visit in Spain. It takes some time to walk through it and visit attractions (and eat local tapas of course,) so I advise you to try to come for at least a day.

Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela is a small but very interesting city in the northwest of Spain which is the capital of the Galicia region.

First of all, the world knows it as the final point of a long pilgrimage route for many Christians. The route begins in France but ends here. This place is extremely important since one of the apostles of Jesus Christ Saint James is buried there.

In the Middle Ages, Santiago de Compostela in its significance for the Christian world was equal to Jerusalem and Rome.

Today, it is famous for the historical center and a combination of ancient streets and architectural styles with Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque churches. In the center of the city, a magnificent cathedral is one of the most outstanding masterpieces of sacred architecture in Spain.

Lugo

Lugo is one of the oldest cities in the Galicia region that became famous throughout the world for the city wall of the ancient Roman era, erected in the late III – early IV centuries BC. This is the oldest of the defensive walls in Spain. Its length is more than 2 km and width 6 meters. You can walk along the high ridge of this wall, admiring the views of the city.

This ancient city on all sides is surrounded by magnificent landscapes, pine, and eucalyptus forests. The air here is always so fresh and clean.

The old part of Lugo preserved many monuments of architecture of different times.

The two main points in the city are Plaza Santa Domingo and Plaza de Espana. On the second square is a governmental building dating back to 1740 with an interesting Baroque-style facade and clock tower of the 19th century.

Among the architectural sites, it is worth noting the monastery of St. Domingo of the XVIII century (which houses a museum), the Cathedral of Lugo (1129), and the Church of St. Pedro.

In addition to architectural monuments, the center is famous for local bars and taverns on narrow, winding streets. This city in northern Spain offers an excellent selection of traditional tapas with a glass of wine or beer.

Also, Lugo is an excellent place to enjoy traditional Galician cuisine. This is one of those destinations in the Galicia region where, along with traditional seafood and fish, meat dishes are also popular. And many restaurants offer great local wines.

Burgos

Burgos is one of the newer beautiful cities in Spain, built in 884. It’s great to visit it on a road trip from Madrid to Bilbao or on a day trip from Santander or Bilbao. This city is considered to be the capital of Castilian Gothic, and the local Burgos Cathedral was among the first on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The center has this unique charm of Spanish antiquity. A beautiful Plaza Mayor, narrow streets, palaces, and temples fascinate every guest to the city. A medieval fortress Casa del Cordon with underground tunnels is connected to the cathedral with a picturesque promenade.

The modern and many-faced Burgos can offer its guests everything that you may think of – delicious food and wine, the medieval atmosphere, many parks and boulevards full of greenery, shops for every taste, nightlife, and even a beach on the Arlanzon River.

To fully enjoy Burgos and get a feel of its strict Castilian character, a few hours of time is not enough. You’d need at least a full day to see everything and relish the lively atmosphere.

Astorga

Astorga, in the province of Leon, is one of the important cities in northern Spain with a two-thousand-year history. There are countless sights here telling about the great historical past.

Besides them, there are no less impressive villages scattered around the city. All of them have ancient stone houses and a unique feel. It is worth exploring them if you are visiting the region for a longer period of time.

During the Roman Empire, the city was considered the largest center of Christianity in western Spain. The modern bishop’s palace here is the work of Antonio Gaudi. And, until this day the pilgrimage route, Camino de Santiago is passing through Astorga too.

In the city, you’ll find the ancient Roman walls with the ruins of therms, aqueducts, and Roman Forum. Astorga Cathedral is magnificent, combining Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. A fabulously beautiful symbol of the city, the Bishop’s Palace has the spirit of a medieval French castle.

Astorga is often called the “Red City” since most of the buildings are built with local bright red bricks.

Leon

The city of Leon is the cradle of democracy and an important pilgrimage point on the way to Santiago de Compostela. Nowadays, it is a place with a rich history, many attractions, and the opportunity to get a good university education.

Leon was founded on the site of an ancient Roman military camp. However, there is not much left of the ancient era, only the ruins of Roman structures in the dungeon under the Leon Cathedral.

This city is small and not many tourists visit even though the old center has several gems of architecture.

The historical part brings travelers to the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. The main attraction here is the Cathedral, a huge early Gothic church of Santa Maria de Leon. Also, Leon is home to another magnificent work of Antonio Gaudi – Botines House, built in a medieval spirit with elements of Art Nouveau style.

The most striking masterpiece of contemporary architecture is the Museum of Modern Art, MUSAC. This building with a futuristic multi-colored facade has become a unique art object that brought Leon international fame.

Other Must-See Places in Northern Spain

Bardenas Reales Natural Park – For Martian Landscapes & Nature

Looking for more ideas for what to see in northern Spain? Here is a lesser-visited place – Bardenas Reales Natural Park

One of the top places to visit in northern Spain is Bardenas Reales Nature Park. This place is so incredibly unique with its lunar and Martian landscapes that you may wonder if you are still on the planet Earth. In fact, the scenery in the park is somewhat reminiscent of American Arizona.

Many videos, films, and even the Game of Thrones series were filmed here.

The Bardenas Reales Nature Park and Biosphere Reserve is a huge semi-desert area in the southeast of the Navarra Kingdom. You can move around the park by car, by bicycle or on foot. Due to many cars and rather narrow roads, going on foot may be the best option.

There are several entrances to the park but the main one is on the N-134 highway, which connects the towns of Tudela and Arguedas. By the way, if you have time, I advise you to visit Tudela – a small town founded by Muslims in 802.

At the entrance to the park (at 15 km N-134) there will be an information and tourist center. There, you can get a map and information about the park, its history, flora, and fauna. Entrance to the park is free, opens at 8 am, and closes an hour before sunset. A leisurely road trip in the park will take at least a few hours but you can spend the entire day there.

Feel free to park your car in designated areas and explore this amazing park on foot. The most interesting thing for some people is that on the territory of this biosphere reserve there is an active military training ground.

Thus expect to see restrictive signs everywhere, military attributes, and landscapes dotted with scars from training bombings. But honestly, it only adds up to the atmosphere.

Urdaibai Nature Reserve – For Cave Paintings & Coastal cities

Urdaibai Nature Reserve is another unique place in northern Spain that don’t many international travelers know about. It is a wetland habitat that comprises the Cantabrian oak forest, marshland, cliffs, and beaches.

Among many interesting things to do in this nature reserve, the Oma forest with painted trees and Santimamine Cave are the most famous. Oma forest has a somewhat magical atmosphere (Spanish fairytales insist this forest is hiding witches and elves) and Santimamine Cave offers free excursions on Thursdays.

On the territory of the biosphere reserve Urdaibai, there are also many coastal towns where you can spend a day or two on the cozy beaches.

We visited quite a few of them but the most favorite became the town of Bermeo, Mundaka, and Sukarrieta. It’s simply because there we could rent a mini boat, visit the botanical park, go on a few short hikes and enjoy beautiful views of the bay.

WHERE TO STAY IN URDAIBAI NATURE RESERVE: Urdaibai is easily accessible on a day trip from Bilbao, Santander, or San Sebastian. Yet, if you get a chance, it’s better to stay in this nature reserve instead of a city. Views, fresh air, and serenity help to completely distract and unplug.

We loved Casa Rural Ozollo for clean rooms, budget-friendly prices, and the most magical view over the delta. But there are many more guest houses in other towns along the river, see them all here.

Guernica – Museum of the World and Ceramic Reproduction of Picasso

In the same Urdaibai nature reserve that I mention above is an interesting town Guernica. One of the best-known Pablo Picasso paintings, bearing the name of this city, is undoubtedly more famous than the town itself. Simply because most people don’t know what it has to offer.

A small town Guernica in Basque Country has fantastic museums.

So the main museum here is the Peace Museum (Foru Plaza, 1). In addition to it, there is also the regional museum Euskal Herria Museoa (Allende Salazar Kalea, 5) which tells in an interactive form about the Basque Country, the Basque people, its traditions, and culture.

Next to it is a European park where you can relax and enjoy the entertaining sculptural compositions by Eduardo Chillida and Henry Moore.

On Pedro de Elejalde street, there is a ceramic reproduction of the famous Picasso painting.

To effectively and quickly explore Guernica, I advise you to head straight to the tourist office (Artekalea, 8). There, you can get a map of the city with the main attractions. By the way, in addition to the museums mentioned above, the Guernica tree (a symbol of Basque autonomy) and bomb shelters scattered in different parts of town are also worth seeing.

Gaztelugatxe

One of the best things to do in northern Spain is to visit Gaztelugatxe, a small peninsula in the Bay of Biscay which resembles a castle. Its name literally translates as Castle in the Rock. If you have been watching the Game of Thrones show, you may recognize this landmark. The location appears in the scenes of this show.

There is a pedestrian bridge that goes through the peninsula all the way to the top of the rock where a small but very beautiful chapel is.

The highest point is at an altitude of 231 meters above sea level. And the views from anywhere around the castle as well as from the top of the rock are breathtaking.

The best way to visit Gaztelugatxe is by car or on a tour. Game of Thrones fans will love this half or full-day guided tour from Bilbao since it discovers the most spectacular filming locations from Season 7.

Picos de Europa

Picos de Europa is the first park in Spain to receive national status. This is one of the two most famous sights of the north of the country along with Santiago de Compostela.

To get the most out of your visit, you’d need to spend at least 3 days in the park. We went there a few times on our day trips from Santander but still didn’t cover everything we planned.

Besides multiple hiking opportunities and road-tripping, you can also travel around the park by canoe, mountain bike, and even snowshoeing. A variety of excursion programs include cable descents into ravines, rock climbing, paintball games, horseback riding, and many other types of adventures.

If booking a tour, choose the one which also includes a visit to the caves and mountainous villages, like this private 11-hour long tour.

If the hiking type of recreation is not your thing, you can also use the cable car to the top of the mountain on 1800 meters above sea level. Observation decks provide a unique opportunity to view all the greatness of a mountain valley. High in the mountains, the snow stays on the ground up to six months.

Entrance to the park is free, you’ll need to pay only for parking (€3 per car per day).

In the high season (from June 1 to October 6), cars are allowed only until 08:30 in the morning or after 21:00. If you are late and don’t enter the park before 8:30, then leave your car at the transshipment parking lot (there are four in total) and take a bus from there (a ticket costs around €10 round-trip).

La Rioja

La Rioja is one of the best places in northern Spain for wine lovers!

Travelers who appreciate good wine and are on their way from Zaragoza to San Sebastian (or back) absolutely must visit the Rioja wine region and add it to their northern Spain itinerary. It is home to more than 500 wineries.

The unique climate helps to make the wine very tasty and unique. Some wineries offer their visitors a trip around the vineyards in special carts and shuttles. While others run masterclasses that introduce visitors to the art of winemaking.

With so many vineyards that dot the hills of north Spain, vintners improved the art of creating world-famous wines. The main wine areas to visit are Rio Badia, Rio Alta, and Rio Alavesa. If you don’t have a car and plan to visit San Sebastian, look into an organized tour that includes wine tastings in San Sebastian and visits to a few wineries.

Rioja is one of the best winemaking areas in the world. Definitely add it to your north Spain holiday.

Santillana Del Mar

Santillana Del Mar for many years was on many lists of the most beautiful small towns in Spain. Set amidst green hills, just 4 km from the ocean, this village inspires artists, poets, philosophers, and writers.

The historical buildings, starting from the Collegiate of the 11th century and ending with residential buildings of the 14-17th century, impress with its charm and grandiosity.

In the 17th century, the rulers of Santillana del mar decided that the city was good enough and didn’t need any other construction. Since then, the authorities were sticking to the same point of view and didn’t change anything.

So if you want to plunge into a medieval fairy tale, walk along narrow cobblestone streets, pop into artisan shops, try fresh natural products and famous local cheeses, then definitely choose to visit Santillana del Mar.

In addition to the charming architecture and atmosphere of the town, in the vicinity of Santillana Del Mar, be sure to check out the famous Cave of Altamira, a cave complex with charcoal drawings of Paleolithic art. The historic center of the town and the Cave of Altamira are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

When visiting Santillana del Mar, don’t forget to take comfortable shoes. This beautiful medieval village offers lots of walking.

These caves are famous for their prehistoric paintings, and the name of the city comes from the name of Saint Julian.

Overall, various Renaissance palaces and churches make this cute little village an important historical area in Cantabria province.

I hope you will enjoy the Northern coast of Spain even more than we did! If you have anything to add or ask, drop me a comment below!

10 Most Amazing Destinations in Northern Spain (with Map)

A good many travelers to Spain start their visit to this Iberian Peninsula country in Madrid. Then they’re likely to head south where the climate is more temperate to see historic Moorish castles or east to Barcelona or Valencia.

They don’t realize what they’re missing by ignoring northern Spain. Well-preserved medieval villages, picturesque wine regions, the beautiful Bay of Biscay coastline, Basque country and more are just waiting to be explored.

Picos de Europa National Park is Spain’s first national park, founded in 1918 when it was known as Montana de Covadonga National Park; its name was changed in 1995. The park’s high mountains and deep ravines appeal to hikers, who need to be alert for deep fog banks.

Snow is possible year ‘round. This biosphere reserve also boasts forests, oak groves and four rivers. Non-hikers may want to ride the Fuentede cable car that reaches more than a mile above sea level, providing stunning views of the park.

The beaches of Santander are the main attractions of this port city on the Bay of Biscay. With its wide stretch of golden sand, the long curving arc of the Playa el Sardinero is one of the most beautiful beaches in Northern Spain. Approaching the beach through the pathways of the beautiful Piquio Gardens enhances the experience.

Although Santander is an ancient city, much of the old quarter was destroyed by a fire in 1941. Since then, the Municipal Museum of Arts has been revamped to include local contemporary Cantabrian artists as well as old masters like Goya.

8. Rioja Wine Region[SEE MAP]

Travelers who enjoy their vino will definitely enjoy a visit to La Rioja Wine Region, home to more than 500 wineries. What makes these vineyards so unique is that some wineries allow horseback and all-terrain vehicle riding within the vineyards.

In addition to sampling their wines, some wineries offer classes on how to become a winemaker. With vineyards dotting the hills of northern Spain, vintners have perfected the art of making world-famous wines; after all, they’ve been doing it for more than a thousand years. The main wine regions are Rio Baja, Rio Alta and Rio Alavesa.

Oviedo, the capital of Asturias province, is well known for its religious monuments. Also a stop on the Pilgrims Road to Santiago, Oviedo has churches that date back to the eighth century, including the Cathedral of San Salvador and the well-preserved Basilica of San Julian de los Prados.

Another top architectural draw is La Foncalada, a ninth century pre-Romanesque fountain. Movie trivia fans may be interested to know Oviedo was featured in Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Once known primarily as an industrial port city, Bilbao has reinvented herself as a center for modern art and architecture. Set amidst the rolling green hills of Basque country, Bilbao is home to the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum, a gleaming, modernistic structure clad in titanium designed by famed architect Frank Gehry.

Bilbao’s historic architecture is a stunner as well, featuring many beautiful buildings like the 14th century Gothic Cathedral of Santiago and the Basilica de Begoña.

Gaztelugatxe is a small peninsular island in the Bay of Biscay that resembles a castle; in fact, its name translates as “castle rock.” It is accessible from land via a footbridge over the rocks. A small chapel dedicated to San Juan (St. John) sits atop the island.

The top of Gaztelugatxe is reachable by climbing 231 steps up a rocky slope. Past visitors recommend taking the steps slowly as rushing can be a pain; but, they say, the breathtaking views are well worth the exertion.

Pamplona is an historic city that once served as the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre. It is better known today for its annual San Fermin festival in which fearless souls try to outrun a herd of bulls through city streets; the festival takes place over six days in July.

Bullfighting is another popular activity here, with the city having the fourth largest bullring in the world. Pamplona also is the first city on the Camino de Santiago or Pilgrims Road to Santiago. Its many parks and historic buildings are just made for strollers.

3. Santiago de Compostela[SEE MAP]

The capital city of Galicia, Santiago de Compostela is famous as the final destination of the traditional pilgrimage known as Camino de Santiago. Also called the Way of St. James, this pilgrimage dates back to Medieval times and is important to many because it is believed that Santiago de Compostela is where St. James, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, is buried.

The arriving point for most pilgrims is the main square. Situated in the heart of the city, this bustling plaza is the scene of many important landmarks, particularly the Santiago Cathedral where the tomb of St. James is located.

Comfortable shoes are a must for visitors to Santillana del Mar, a perfectly preserved medieval village that is limited to foot traffic. Located on Spain’s west coast, this Cantabrian treasure is less than 30 km (20 miles) from Santander and near the Caves of Altamira that are famous for its prehistoric paintings.

There is an old saying that Santillana del Mar is The Town of Three Lies, since it is neither a Saint (Santo), nor flat (llana), nor is it by the sea (Mar). However, the town actually takes its name from Santa Juliana who is buried here in the Colegata, the most famous church in Cantabria. Another top attraction is the Museum of the Inquisition with its instruments of torture.

Found in Basque country, just 19 km (12 miles) from France, this popular beach resort is surrounded by hills that add to its beauty. San Sebastián’s most famous attraction is La Concha, one of the world’s best urban beaches. Parte Vieja or Old Town has many bars, making it popular with partiers.

Most buildings date from the 19th century, since San Sebastián was destroyed by the English and Portuguese in 1813. The city is well known for its July jazz festival, the oldest in Europe, as well as other festivals and cultural events throughout the year.

Ultimate Northern Spain Road Trip Itinerary 2022: Routes, Maps + Tips

From Catalonia’s unspoilt coastline and Aragon’s scenic architecture to quaint cities in the Basque Country, this northern Spain road trip offers something for everyone.

Is there any better way to see a country than grabbing a set of car keys and having the freedom to explore at your own pace? If this is your favourite way to travel, then how about exploring the north of Spain?

Often it’s when you decide to travel slowly and go off the beaten track, you start stumbling across hidden gems. You’ll take a wrong turning and end up in an authentic Spanish town that isn’t in any of the tourist guide books!

While this road trip through northern Spain takes you to a few famous places, it also gives you the opportunity to explore lesser-known regions. You’ll experience spectacular vineyards a short drive from San Sebastian, the hiker’s paradise that is Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park and stop by some truly underrated Spanish cities.

There are so many amazing places to visit on a Northern Spain road trip

A road trip here through the north of Spain offers so much. Spend your time admiring the scenic coastlines in Catalonia and Asturias, before marvelling at the architecture of Castille and León.

If you’re a foodie, you’ll fall in love with the culinary scene in the Basque Country. It’s absolute pintxos heaven! Meanwhile, if you’re keen on the great outdoors, there are plenty of gorgeous green spaces and natural wonders to explore.

La Concha beach in San Sebastian is a must-visit on your road trip

Spain is often associated with summer beach holidays, but it’s worth remembering that many of the interior parts of the country offer just as much natural beauty, with vineyards, mountains, canyons, olive groves and picturesque towns! This road trip itinerary will introduce you to several authentic experiences.

So, whether you’re looking for travel inspiration or you want to start planning your itinerary, this guide will cover all of the best places to visit in Northern Spain on a road trip.

Contents

Weather in Northern Spain

This region of Europe has warm summers and cool winters. The majority of people visit during the summer holiday season, when the weather is warmest.

If you want to make the most of the great outdoors, time your trip between May and September. It’s the ideal time for beach days or countryside hikes. During this time, temperatures range between lows of 16°C (61°F) and highs of 26°C (79°F). If possible, I’d suggest avoiding the peak summer (July and August) and travel in May, June or September. You’ll enjoy cheaper prices and won’t be battling against big crowds at the big attractions!

It gets pretty chilly in Spain in winter, but there’s a bit of magic to it! Between January and March the temperatures in the north of Spain range from 4°C (39°F) to 15°C (59°F).

San Sebastian is a beautiful city to visit, especially if you can avoid peak summer

Northern Spain Road Trip Map

If you’re happy to move at a pretty moderate pace, moving on every single day, you could just about fit this itinerary into one week.

However, I’d recommend moving a little slower so you can soak up all the little details in each destination.

Here’s a handy map to go with this northern Spain road trip itinerary, which you can save to make your planning stress-free.

You could visit Tarragona on this Spanish road trip

Northern Spain Road Trip Itinerary – Places to Visit in Northern Spain
Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 1 – Barcelona

Barcelona is a great city to start your road trip from. Not only is it an incredible destination in its own right, but it’s also easy to reach by plane. There are lots of car rental options too, both from the airport or the city centre.

Parc Guell is a great place to visit in Barcelona

Marking the start of your Catalonia road trip, you’ll quickly fall in love with Barcelona’s scenic shoreline with sweeping views of the Balearic Sea. Enjoy the city’s unique ambience courtesy of street musicians and tapas bars dotted in the atmospheric Gothic Quarter’s narrow streets. I challenge you not to get lost in this mini maze – it’s very easily done, especially after a few glasses of Cava!

Delicious pinxtos at El Pinxto de Petritxol, Barcelona

At the centre of Barcelona’s bustling social scene is tree-lined La Rambla, which boasts restaurants, cafés, and avant-garde architecture. It’s always busy with tourists, but I’d avoid most of the restaurants around here! Many are classic tourist traps, serving vats of low-quality paella at inflated prices. You’ll find more authentic dining experiences in the small bars in the Gothic Quarter.

There are so many pretty streets to see in Barcelona

La Boqueria food market is located just off this main street and is an excellent place to take in the amazing ingredients of Catalonia. For a very special meal, book in for a tasting menu experience at Michelin-starred Disfrutar. I’ve been lucky enough to visit twice and I would regard these meals as the best meals I’ve ever eaten! Genuinely!

If you’re interested in art there are lots of great attractions in Barcelona. You could visit the Picasso Museum, the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya or the Fundacio Joan Miro. Oh, and don’t miss a visit to one of Gaudi’s many masterpieces. His unique style is visible throughout the city at locations such as La Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell. I was enchanted by these spots – I’m sure you will be too!

Beautiful stained glass windows at the Sagrada Familia

If you fancy a beach day, there’s also a large beach in the city centre, lined with beach bars. It’s amazing how much there is to do in this Spanish city. There really is something for everyone!

Barceloneta Beach is a great place to include on your road trip itinerary

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 2 – Costa Brava or Catalonia

If time permits, you might want to head north of Barcelona to Costa Brava, before heading to Montserrat. One of Spain’s most mesmerising coastlines, the area oozes charm with its whitewashed towns and fishing villages.

Alternatively, I loved the area south of here, which includes the underrated Tarragona, Reus and Siurana.

Siurana was a new discovery for me on one of my most recent trips. It’s one of the prettiest villages in Spain and sits on top of a hill in the Prades Mountains. I’d recommend spending a couple of hours there. It’s pretty small so you can wander the streets looking at the Moorish castle, the pretty houses and perhaps stop for a coffee.

The best part about Siurana? The views! Head towards the rocky cliffs and look out over the huge gorge which is filled with a bright turquoise reservoir. I’d suggest visiting first thing in the morning and you should have it all to yourself!

If you want to learn more about Gaudi, but don’t fancy tackling the crowds in Barcelona, I’d suggest stopping by Reus. This small city is where Gaudi was born. You can learn all about his life and architectural wonders at The Gaudi Centre, before checking out some of the city’s buildings which inspired him.

You can read my detailed guide on how to tour this region by car in my Catalonia road trip post.

Will you stop by the beaches of Costa Brava on your Northern Spain road tripI’d recommend driving to Siurana on your Spanish road trip

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 3 – Montserrat

Montserrat is another must-visit on your road trip through Northern Spain. The area’s top attraction is the Benedictine Montserrat Monastery, perched on a rocky crag surrounded by magnificent cliffs.

Montserrat is a highlight in Northern Spain

Just getting there is a bit of an adventure, as you reach the monastery via cable car! Once there, enjoy panoramic views of the Catalonian countryside while soaking in the sights and history of the monastery.

Montserrat to Zaragoza: 266 km / 2h 46min approx.

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 4 – Zaragoza

Next stop on your journey from Montserrat is Zaragoza, the capital of the Aragon region. This is a great place for museums, architecture, and historical monuments, including the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar.

Zaragoza is an underrated Spanish city

In between sightseeing, I’d recommend a bit of restaurant-hopping at Plaza del Pilar so you can taste some authentically Spanish delights. For a real flavour of the region, sit down to dinner at Restaurante La Borde de Chema. This rustic restaurant offers Aragonese dishes including roast goat, along with plenty of regional wines.

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 5 – Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park

Step away from the glitz and glamour of city life with a visit to the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park. This hiker’s paradise has several trails to choose from, each leading to sweeping views of the mountains.

Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park is a great hidden gem in Spain

Be sure to pack your camera for this stop on your road trip! It’s one of the most photogenic places on this itinerary, so no doubt you’ll want to snap a lot of photos!

There are beautiful views like this in Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park

Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park to San Sebastian: 252 km / 3h 10 min approx.

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 6 – San Sebastian

The Basque Country is renowned for its food scene. Every year, many people visit Northern Spain (myself included!) purely for a wining and dining experience like no other. It’s hardly surprising, after all San Sebastian in the Basque Country has the most Michelin-starred eateries per capita in Europe! In fact, there are more in this one city per capita than in London, and that’s really saying something!

The Basque Country even has two restaurants with ‘Green Stars’, Azurmendi and Enoko, which have been recognised for their sustainable, ethical and environmental approach.

I loved visiting San Sebastian

There are two sides to eating out in San Sebastian. You can either go high end with Michelin starred tasting menus, or eat the local way with dish after dish of pintxos (small dishes).

The old town of San Sebastian is filled with tiny restaurants specialising in individual dishes such as Spanish tortillas, prawns on skewers and slow cooked pork. The best way to enjoy a trip like this, is by stopping for food and drinks at multiple bars across an evening – like your very own pintxos tour.

Eating pintxos in San Sebastian will be a highlight of your northern Spain road trip

It can be difficult knowing what to eat at each place, so I’d thoroughly recommend a pintxos tour like this one. The guide will give you tips on what to order, how to eat it and all the insider knowledge to make the most of your time in San Sebastian.

Pretty streets of San Sebastian

While you can’t go wrong with most restaurants here, I’d recommend the incredible steak, tomatoes and fried padron peppers at Bar Nestor as well as the famous San Sebastian cheesecake at La Viña! I popped all my top recommendations together in my post about the best pintxos in San Sebastian.

Also, if you’re looking for an extra special meal, how about going for a Michelin Starred meal with a view at Mirador de Ulia? We had a very memorable meal there!

San Sebastian is also a great beach destination, with turquoise waters, white sand and some great surf spots too!

Enjoying the beach in San Sebastian

If you want to get off the beaten track in this region, how about spending a day wine tasting? Just 30-minutes away by car you’ll find wineries including Hirutza, where the local Txakoli wine is produced. This is a dry and lightly sparkling white wine, which is absolutely delicious!

The vineyards are in a really spectacular location too, with huge mountains and lush green valleys all around. Once you’ve toured the winery, you’ll get to taste some of the wines for yourself, paired with a few pintxos of course!

Looking to go off the beaten track in Spain? How about visiting Hiruzta vineyard near San Sebastian?

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 7 – Bilbao

Bilbao, the capital of the Basque Country, is home to centuries-old alleyways and modern-day architecture. The bustling city is small enough that you can explore it on foot, but big enough to keep you entertained for many hours.

Bilbao is a great place to visit on your northern Spain road trip

One place you simple have to visit is the world-famous Guggenheim Museum, set by the Nervión River. This art gallery has an incredible collection, as well as being housed inside a curved metal masterpiece by one of my favourite architects, Frank Gehry.

How amazing is the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao?

This is another great city for pintxos, so be sure to spend some time in the Old Town refuelling. You could also dine at one of the many Michelin-starred restaurants in Bilbao.

For one of the best viewpoints in the Basque Country, make your way to Gaztelugatxeko Doniene, made famous by Game of Thrones. The scenic hike is around 3km and features several fortified viewpoints. The views are worth the tired legs, I promise you!

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 8 – Santander

Afterwards, stop by Santander, where you can enjoy some seaside fun on the small town’s myriad of beaches. Dive into the water or enjoy a trek to the Cabo Mayor Lighthouse.

Don’t miss Santander on your road trip through North Spain

Away from the coastline, grab a bite at Plaza de Canadio before exploring Santander’s Cathedral. It features two churches built on top of one another.

Santander to Llanes: 89 km / 56 min approx.

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 9 – Llanes and Piloña

As you drive from Bilbao to Llanes and Piloña, the road trip scenery really steps up a notch! Take in the views of the mountains and rolling hills which serve as the ultimate driving backdrop!

There are some pretty beaches in Llanes, Spain

Llanes is a small-town region boasting medieval magic at every corner, as well as beautiful beach views. After some of the more touristy stops on this trip, this area is more chilled out and authentic.

Once in Piloña, you could hike up to the Area Recreativa del Monte Cayon, where sweeping views over Asturias’ Picos de Europa await. Alternatively, opt for a more strenuous hike at Picos de Europa, a green paradise surrounded by mountains.

Looking for scenic drives in northern Spain? You’ll enjoy Pilona!

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 10 – Gijon and Oviedo

Gijon has a whole load of charm! The city’s old town, nestled on top of a cliff, is filled with a mix of fine-dining and casual eateries and boasts iconic Roman baths and a scenic promenade.

Gijon has a lot of charm and is an underrated gem in Spain

Oviedo, the region’s capital, is a compact city with a lively atmosphere owing to its student population. Enjoy a culinary extravaganza at the city’s many tapas bars (Gloria Oviedo isn’t to be missed) and fine dining spots. There’s plenty more to do in Oviedo too, including shopping, museum-hopping, and marvelling at the city’s architecture.

There are lots of pretty streets to explore in Oviedo

Oviedo to León: 125 km / 1h 28 min approx.

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 11 – León

León, the northernmost city in the region, is ready to welcome you with open arms. Top of the list of attractions here is the Catedral de León, which boasts impressive towers and colourful windows.

If you love beautiful architecture, you’ll enjoy visiting Leon in the north of Spain

For a quintessential Leon experience, stroll through Plaza Mayor and enjoy a bit of people watching. This is also a great area for trendy restaurants, tapas bars, and impressive architecture.

Northern Spain Road Trip: Stop 12 – Valladolid and Salamanca

South of León is Valladolid, a small city famed for its architecture. The Cathedral of Valladolid is a sight to behold, as is the Museo Nacional de Escultura and the exhibits inside.

Valladolid has some impressive buildings

The final stop in the region is Salamanca, which has a burgeoning foodie scene that really delivers the heart and soul of Northern Spanish cuisine. In between the culinary experiences, enjoy visits to the Old and New Cathedral, Clerecía Church, and the Convento de San Esteban’s plateresque. For incredible viewpoints over some of the city’s attractions, be sure to visit the Roman Bridge.

Salamanca is a spectacular place to finish your Northern Spain road trip

Where to Stay on a Northern Spain Road Trip

If you’re wondering where to stay in northern Spain, here are a few of my top choices along this route.

This is a great luxury hotel, offering sweeping city views from the rooftop pool.

Villa Palafox is a great place to stay in Zaragoza

Hotel Carlton, Bilbao

This grand hotel in Bilbao offers spacious rooms with chic decor and a great restaurant serving regional delicacies.

Hotel Carlton is an ideal base in Bilbao in Spain

12 Highlights for a Road Trip in Northern Spain -12 Highlights for a Road Trip in Northern Spain –

Planning a road trip to North Spain? We trust this post will help you with great itinerary ideas and many proposals to make this a road trip of a life time for you!

Northern Spain is famous for its gastronomy, its elegant cities, which contrast with its small villages, natural landscapes, and sandy beaches. In this post we provide you with lots of details and information that our destination experts have put together as part of of the road trip itineraries they prepare. In broad terms, you have three options to enjoy Northern Spain.

Rent a car and organize a roadtrip. This is our favorite option. Motorways and roads in Spain are generally safe. Smaller roads provide fantastic scenery. On the negative side, building a good itinerary can be very time-consuming. Below you can find 3 great itineraries, almost ready to use, to enjoy an itinerary that covers most highlights shown on this article.

Join a guided tour. In case you enjoy travelling with groups, group guided tours are an excellent choice. Guided tours are not a perfect fit for everybody since they reduce flexibility. On the positive side, however, they remove all the burden to get the trip organized, manage time very efficiently and cover the most important highlights. There are not so many guided tours that cover Northern Spain. This one can be a good fit if you are keen on joining one. GUIDED TOUR SPECIAL OFFER

GUIDED TOUR SPECIAL OFFER

Travel with public transportation. Spain has a fantastic public transportation network and this is also the case for the Northern regions. Traveling by public rail and bus is possible but it will take lots of time to build the itinerary and you will have to bear in mind the waiting time for connecting the options available.

North of Spain itinerary highlights

This itinerary and its ideas was selected by the Times.co.uk as one of Spain´s best holidays.

The North of Spain comprises of different regions (Comunidades Autónomas). In this post we will concentrate on the 4 regions which are located between the borders of France and Portugal: they are the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias, and Galicia. All of these 4 regions have in common beaches and mountains, fantastic gastronomy, culture, monuments and natural parks.

We will cover the main cities in Northern Spain first, then the most charming villages in each of the 4 regions in North Spain. We will not forget the natural parks and beaches, local gastronomy and the culture and heritage you will enjoy in Northern Spain.

Highlight 1 – San Sebastian (Basque Country)
The Spanish kings decided to spend their summers in San Sebastian ever since Queen Isabel II received the medical recommendation to bathe in the region’s thermal baths. Queen María Cristina installed the court and the government in San Sebastian during two months each year and, today, the city recalls a glorious past with stately buildings and memories of the Belle Epoque.

OUR TOP RECOMMENDATIONS IN SAN SEBASTIAN

1- We recommend a walk on the La Concha beach from the “peines del viento” to the Casco Viejo.

2- Get lost through the streets of the Casco Viejo and enjoy its many pintxos taverns.

3- We also recommend eating at a traditional sidrería and at one of San Sebastian’s avant-garde restaurants to witness the connections between the old and the new gastronomy.

4 – Pintxos Tour. We recommend you to enjoy a pintxos tour (the way tapas are called in the Basque country) during your stay in San Sebastian. it is a good way to combine dining and learning about the city. There are many tours available but they are a bit over-priced in our opinion. During high season you should make sure you book well in advance! in THIS LINK YOU CAN FIND A GOOD PINTXOS TOUR OPTION.

You can decide to check the best bars in this section with best things to enjoy in San Sebastian and build your own itinerary.

HOTELS IN SAN SEBASTIAN

The bad news is San Sebastian is expensive. the city was isolated for many years due to terrorrism and hotels were not built for decades. Whilst all that belongs to the past and the number of hotels has increased significantly lately, prices are still high compared to the rest of Spain. Here are some of our favorites. We strongly recommend to book as soon as possible. We recommend using Booking.com since you do not need to pay at the time you book and their cancellation policy is very flexible.

Our favorite hotels:

– Overall good value: Astoria and The Barcelo Costa Vasca (Location and overall good value for money).

– Something special: HOTEL VILLASORO has the elegance and charm you expect to find in San Sebastian. AMAZING BUILDING!

– The Classical and luxury ones:  MARÍA CRISTINA. Maria Cristina hotel is an icon in San Sebastian. This is not a cheap hotel but one where most rich and famous people stay when visiting the city. The second most famous hotel is HOTEL DE LONDRES E INGLATERRA. Matahari stayed here, lots of glamour and great sea view too. Both these hotels are nearly always fully booked, so if you find a room book it!

Highlight 2 – Bilbao (Basque Country)
A formerly grey and industrial city, Bilbao has been reborn with beauty and splendor thanks to its culture, art, and gastronomy. Today, Bilbao is a must-see in Basque Country.

Top things to do

1- Guggenheim museum. Amazing from the outside and interesting inside (check which temporary exhibitions will be on during your visit. The Museum of Bellas Artes, very close to the Guggenheim offers a fantastic collection and is a must too!

2- Old District (Casco Viejo) Great for tapas and to enjoy a lively atmosphere. The famous 7 calles (7 streets) and Plaza Nueva are where most tapas and pintxos bars concentrate. There is a flea market in Plaza Nueva on Sundays.

3- Views from Funicular de Artxanda.

4 – The Bilbao bridge (15 minutes drive from Bilbao) A fantastic piece of engineering and great fun to try. Another day excursion worth trying is to San Juan de Gaztelugaxte (very popular since it appeared in games of Thrones)

5- Mercado de la Ribera. A great place for any foodie.

More things to do in Bilbao in this post where we have one of our guides, born in Bilbao, goes through all the best recommendations in the city.

These are our favorite hotels in Bilbao:

Barcelo Nervión. A perfectly located (at half distance from the Guggenheim and Casco Viejo) 4 star hotel that offers a fantastic breakfast and overall good value for money. Modern style

Hotel Gran Bilbao. A very modern hotel with excellent facilities. Not so close to the city center but at an area where street parking is permitted. Bear in mind that street parking is regulated in Bilbao city centre

Hesperia Bilbao. As Barcelo Nervion, located at a fantastic location and also very modern facilities and excellent breakfast.

Tayko. Great location and excellent boutique-style decoration.

If you want to enjoy a family-owned hotel, with a traditional basque atmosphere yet not far from Bilbao city center and with great value for money where you can park your car. Hotel Artexe is probably a great option for you.

Highlight 3 – Santander (Cantabria)
Lesser known by the tourist than San Sebastian, Santander is also an elegant city that lives facing the sea. Its beautiful bay and its boardwalks and palaces are witnesses to an important past.

Highlight 4 – Oviedo (Asturias).
No doubt one of Spain’s lesser known cities but one that leaves an impression on those who do visit. Its cathedral, its beautiful market, its cider houses and its elegant shops, buildings and the Campoamor theatre (where the Prince of Asturias awards take place) are sufficient reasons to make a stop in Oviedo.

Highlight 5 – Santiago de Compostela
(Galicia) End of the Camino de Santiago, the capital of Galicia receives pilgrims and tourists alike with open arms. Its famous cathedray and Obradoiro plaza make up the most important enclave of the city, where the spirit of the Way of Saint James is lived and celebrated.
Other gems: There are many other cities worth visiting in northern Spain, but time is scarce. Cities such as La Coruña, Vigo and Lugo are unexpected surprises for the traveller.

Highlight number 6 – Villages in Basque Country

Hondarribia. One of those towns that does not leave anyone disappointed. There are so many reasons to visit Hondarribia (Fuenterrabía in Spanish). For one, it has some of the best bars and restaurants of the Basque Country. The small gardens, the fortified wall and cobbled streets, beautiful Basque houses, the church, the square in front of the Parador…just a few of the things that make this town so charming. And for those of you that are adventurous, you might want to make the swim up along the river until you reach Hendaye in France.

Getaria. From Hondarribia, we continue to Getaria, a fishing village located on the Bay of Biscay. We highly recommend trying their fresh-caught grilled fish or “parrillada”. An experience not to be missed in Getaria. The quality of the fish is unbelievable and the town has gained fame for the use of the grill. Accompany your meal with Txacoli, a white wine produced in the surrounding txacoli vineyards. Fashion lovers will be happy to find the Balenciaga Museum, as Getaria is the birth town of the famous designer. A txacoli winery wine tour in Getaria from San Sebastian can also be a fantastic day tour. You can find here more ideas on things to do in Getaria.

Bermeo. The largest town of this list, and therefore less charming than the others, Bermeo has a long history of maritime tradition and is still today very dependent on the fishing industry. You can enjoy a stroll along the beautiful old port and stop at one of the many local bars for a drink and a pintxo. The best part of visiting Bermeo are actually its surroundings. San Juan de Gaztlugatxe, at less than 10km away, has become one of the most popular destinations in the Basque Country and is an absolute must.

Highlight number 7 – Villages in Cantabria

Castro urdiales. Next up is Castro Urdiales on the eastern end of Cantabria. A seaside village and popular tourist destination. The beach does get overcrowded in the summer months but it is definitely worth a stop. It is filled with beautiful scenery that makes for excellent photo opportunities: the gothic-style church, the castle, the Roman bridge and the port, just to name a few.

Comillas. Situated 50 kilometers from Santander, Comillas combines its beauty and elegance with the charm of yet another fishing village in the north of Spain. The whaling industry was once the town´s source of wealth. Today, Comillas is a town full of history and one of the most beautiful in Cantabria. Historic buildings, nice beaches, lovely plazas, and for Gaudi lovers, El Capricho.

Lastres. Crossing into the Asturias region of northern Spain, we come across Lastres. The most impressive part of this small town are the houses that look to be attached to the mountain overlooking the sea. A must for anyone planning on stopping in Lastres is a meal at either El Descanso, Bitácora (incredible views), or at the port.

Highlight number 8 – Villages in Asturias

Cudillero. Gorgeous small fishing village in Asturias wedged between the sea and the mountains. When you first spot the colourful hill of houses next to the port, you will be overcome with an unexpected feeling of happiness. Lots of bars and outdoor terraces to sit down, relax, and enjoy a glass of local cider while taking in the spectacular surroundings and the liveliness of this small town.

Luarca. Not too far from Cudillero, is Luarca also in the beautiful region of Asturias. It has a beautiful harbour filled with small fishing boats, delicious gastronomy, and excellent beaches. The best views of Luarca are surprisingly from the town´s cemetery located on the hills above. Truly spectacular looking point out to the open sea.

Highlight number 9 – Villages in Galicia

Ribadeo & Castropol. We continue this “northern road trip” to the border between Asturias and Galicia. Here you will find two towns that face each other, Castropol in Asturias and Ribadeo in the Lugo province of Galicia. Along with the nearby Asturian town of Vegadeo, the three form a type of triangle border with mansions and palaces that stand out against the boats and the sea. Very close to Ribadeo is the impressive Playa de Las Catedrales (literally beach of the cathedrals)… an absolute must if you are in the area, but best to go out of season.

Cambados. When you reach the Rías Baixas in Galicia, make a stop in Cambados, the albariño capital of Spain. Beautiful stone buildings and architecture, cobbled streets, delicious Galician food, and of course, excellent white wine of the local albariño grape. If you´re up for a lively Spanish fiesta, come for a visit the first weekend of August for the famous Albariño Wine Festival. A winery visit in the area is also not a bad idea.

Combarro. The most characteristic aspects of Galicia all concentrated in one small town: typical Galician “horreos” or granaries, cobbled streets, old traditional houses, stone crosses, fishing boats and the sea. A stroll in the old quarter of Combarro feels like taking a step back in time. A truly unique town that will leave you with a memorable experience of Galicia in its purest form.

La Guardia. Where the Miño River meets the ocean and Spain meets Portugal. This town´s landscape offers a mix of sea, river, and mountains. The Monte de Santa Tecla is one of those magical places where you can feel its history among archaeological finds. The views from the Celtic Roman ruin looking down at La Guardia from above are also breath-taking.

Highlight number 10 – Natural parks and beaches

Islas Atlánticas (Galicia) The only national park in Galicia, the Islas Atlánticas (Atlantic Islands) extend from the Ría de Arousa to that of Vigo. Throughout the extension of the park, there are linked islands from which the Cíes islands are the most well-known and beautiful. The different islands consist of cliffs, dunes, beaches and rich sea beds, in which sunken ships are found. The island of Rodas is considered one of the best islands in the world. It is important to note that it is not allowed to camp or scuba dive in the national park without having gotten a permit beforehand.

You can find more information on the best beaches in our Northern Spain best beaches post.

Picos de Europa (Asturias, Cantabria & León)

Located among the regions of Asturias, León and Cantabria, the Picos de Europa provide an impressive mountainous contrast with the nearby marine coast. The landscape has been formed by glacier erosion and there are many lakes. The most famous are Enol and Ercina (lakes of Covadonga). Gorges like the Cares Gorge (Garganta del Cares) or the peak of Naranjo de Bulnes at more than 2,500 meters of altitude are home to abundant wildlife.

Highlight 11 – Art & Culture in Northern Spain

Museum of the Galician people (Museo del pueblo Gallego), Santiago de Compostela. An ethnographic museum in Santiago de Compostela that shows the history of Galicia and its relationship with the sea.

Mining Museum of Asturias (Museo de minería en Asturias) – Asturias is a region with a significant mining past. This museum recreates the way of life of the miners and you have the opportunity to descend to a mine.

Altamira Museum. Cantabria. The Altamira cabes are one of the most important cave paitings in the world. Visits, temporary exhibitions, and activities bring us closer to the fascinating world of prehistoric life.

Guggenheim, Bilbao. This museum, the current icon of the city of Bilbao, gave way to the transformation in the appearance of the city. The museum itself is a work of art and a must-see for any lover of architecture.

Highlight 12 – Northern Spain´s Gastronomy

Historically, the geographic location of northern Spain, with the Cantabrian Sea and the mountains of the Cantabrian Range, have contributed a rich source of raw material to shape the local gastronomy.
The Basque Country is famous worldwide for its abundance of Michelin-star restaurants and famous chefs, but we must not forget the quality of Galician gastronomy and its exquisite seafood from its estuaries (rías), or the delicious and generous Asturian gastronomy, not to mention the famous Cantabrian conservas (canned foods)

The serenity of life by the sea

Fishing boats coming into port with their catch, sailors striding towards the market with fish to sell, nets piled on the dock, the lights at twilight… We could be in any of the enchanting coastal villages of northern Spain, in Galicia, Asturias or Cantabria. These villages maintain their authenticity, as places where you can still experience life by the sea in its purest form.

Shelter from the ocean in Baiona

To the south of the Rias Baixas area (Galicia), the bay of Baiona seems to invite you to shelter from the ocean. A splendid historic town centre, mountains, riverside paths, the lush vegetation of the estuary, and an exquisite cuisine combining the best of land and sea. Baiona was the first port in Europe to hear of a new continent, America. The news arrived on board the caravel Pinta in 1493, and every first weekend in March they celebrate the Fiesta de la Arribada to commemorate it. The rest of the year, you can visit the Museum of the Carabela Pinta, a replica of the ship with a recreation of that important moment in history.

Film locations in Asturias

Two exemplary coastal towns, Ribadesella and Llanes, are located in the eastern part of Asturias. Ribadesella, between the Picos de Europa and the Cantabrian Sea, owes much of its charm to the river Sella. A famous international canoe race is held on the river in August, accompanied by a celebratory atmosphere and plenty of other activities, but you can follow the same course at other times of year. The Sella is a calming presence, and the combination of exercise, nature and good food is always a positive experience. The Tito Bustillo cave and its visitor centre, the viewpoint at Guía or a historic tour of the port are other options to enjoy the seaside lifestyle of Ribadesella.
We recommend stopping at the acantilados del infierno, the “cliffs of hell”, before you reach Llanes, just 30 kilometres away, to take one of those photos that always remind you of unforgettable trips.
Enormous multicoloured cubes by the Basque artist Agustín Ibarrola, arranged as breakwaters, capture the attention of new arrivals. This is Llanes, a town with a truly beautiful historic centre, which has been the setting for around twenty films. Intriguing cinematic and maritime routes, like its beaches, its coastal path, and its fabulous golf course next to the shore.

Cantabria from end to end

From San Vicente de la Barquera to Laredo, via Santoña. This is our suggested route, under 100 kilometres, to see the best of these three Cantabrian seaside towns. Oyambre Natural Park, close to San Vicente de la Barquera, is an almost perfect representation of the area’s biodiversity. A large fleet of fishing boats is moored in the port of San Vicente, a stage on the northern St James’ Way, and the starting point of the Camino Lebaniego. Its medieval heritage includes a castle, a bridge, and the city walls.
Santoña is another perfect destination for understanding the character of a seafaring people. This is where the technique of preserving anchovies in salt was perfected, and the town has plenty to see, from the wetlands of Las Marismas Natural Park to the lighthouses of El Pescador and El Caballo, reached via a challenging 800 stone steps.
Finally, La Salvé beach in Laredo, one of the longest in northern Spain with nearly five kilometres of fine sand, where you can imagine the past and present importance of the sea to these towns. Every September, a major fiesta recreates the historic Landing of Charles V in Laredo, thought to be his last journey before he died. Another unusual event is the Battle of the Flowers, which the locals prepare for months. The goal is to design the most spectacular float, decorated entirely with fresh flowers, in a tradition of painstaking precision passed down through generations.

Where is Spain located on the world map?

In front of you is a map of the world in Russian. Spain occupies the southwestern part of Europe and most of the Iberian Peninsula, but some of its territories are also in Africa.

In addition, it owns the Balearic and Pitius, Canary Islands, including the well-known in Russia Ibiza and Mallorca. In the south and east it is washed by the Mediterranean Sea, in the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean.

All in the same Europe, it is the fourth largest country. Due to its favorable and somewhat unique geographical position, it enjoys a very warm climate. Although the weather conditions in different areas of this country vary greatly, in general, the temperature rarely drops below zero when and where.

What countries borders

Looking at the world map, it is clear that Spain borders on five states: France and Andorra in the northern part, Portugal in the west, Gibraltar in the south and Morocco in the African part of the country.

All borders are land borders.

Internal government

Spain is one of the few countries with a monarchy that has survived to this day.

It is worth remembering that the monarchy here is constitutional, that is, assuming the presence of a parliament. The crown is passed down through the male line. The current head of state is Philip VI. The executive branch of government is headed by the Prime Minister, now Mariano Rajoy. The majority in parliament is usually made up of the People’s Party and the Socialist Workers’ Party.

To travel to Spain, Russian citizens will need to apply for a Schengen visa. Documents for its receipt are accepted by the visa centers of a sunny country. The set of documents almost completely coincides with the standard for obtaining a Schengen visa.

The capital of this state is Madrid (see photo).

It is the largest city in the country with a population of more than three million inhabitants. The world map shows that the Spanish city of Madrid is located on the Iberian Peninsula, in its very center. It is a very influential cultural center in Europe and the world.

The official language here is Spanish itself. However, this is a multinational country, and many here speak their native languages.

The Catalan and Basque languages are very common, belonging to the indigenous peoples who have long inhabited the territory: the Catalans, the inhabitants of the province of Catalonia, and the Basques. Many of the languages spoken by the peoples of this area in the past are now, alas, disappearing due to assimilation.

The main currency here, as in most other EU countries, is the euro, which was adopted in the state as a national currency in 2002. Prior to that, the peseta, an old Spanish monetary unit, was in circulation.

At the beginning of 2018, the population of Spain was 46.5 million. This country has a fairly large urban population – almost 80 percent. At the same time, the country has a low, compared with most of other Western European states, population density – 92 inhabitants per square kilometer.

Many immigrants from Latin America and Great Britain, Eastern Europe, as well as gypsies and Jews live here.

Spain on the political map of the world is limited not only by the territory in Europe. If we take into account the Spanish territories in Africa, the area of \u200b\u200bthe entire state is about 505 square kilometers.

Spain is a secular state, but the majority of the population is Catholic. There are quite a lot of Protestants and Orthodox in the country, recently the number of Muslims has been increasing. In a small number there are also communities professing Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Hinduism. It should be noted that quite a lot of atheists and non-religious people also live here.

Popular cities and resorts in Spain

Every year, Spain attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world. The number of places worth visiting in this country is unusually large. There is a place here to suit everyone’s taste. First of all, of course, it is worth mentioning Madrid – the capital of this sunny country.

Among the most famous sights of the region are the Prado Museum, the Arch of Victory, the Royal Palace. It is impossible not to visit the local market, which is believed to have existed since the sixteenth century.

The Cibeles Fountain is striking in its beauty, made of white marble in the form of a sculpture of the goddess of fertility. Sports fans, especially the famous football club Real Madrid, will appreciate the local football museum.

Barcelona is the second most populous city in Spain and is no less popular with tourists than Madrid. It is the capital of Catalonia and is located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, washed by the Mediterranean Sea.

Local churches are of particular beauty, including the 15th-century Church of Santa Maria and the Cathedral of Barcelona. Art lovers will not be able to pass by Gaudí’s house-museum.

A walk along the Rambla and Plaza Catalunya, where you can admire the monument to Columbus and the local port, leaves an unforgettable impression. Other notable sights include Parc Güell and Noel Palace.

Another major Spanish city worth visiting is Valencia. This is an ancient city founded by the Romans, whose rich history and culture cannot but attract travelers. Looking at the world map in Russian or any other, we find that Valencia is located in Spain on the east coast. Valencia is to some extent the cultural capital of Spain.

Cathedral of the Virgin Mary

The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, the so-called Lonja de la Seda Silk Exchange, and the Museum of Fine Arts deserve attention here. Founded in the thirteenth century, Valencia Cathedral houses the famous Holy Grail.

One of the region’s unusual sights is the Spanish bullfighting museum. And you can enjoy nature in Albufera Park, which is home to birds of all kinds.

Sunny Costa Blanca is just a magnet for tourists all over the world, one of the most visited resorts in Spain. The Costa Blanca is a 200 km coastline in the province of Alicante.

Pleasant climate, light sandy beaches, comfortable hotels and unique nature – this is an ideal place to relax.

Speaking of resorts in Spain, one cannot but mention its island possessions. One of these is the island of Ibiza . Frankly, a trip to Ibiza is not cheap, but, nevertheless, this island remains extremely popular among vacationers, mainly among young people.

The island is famous not only for its white sandy beaches, clear blue sea and rich vegetation, but also for its vibrant nightlife.

Another Spanish island – Mallorca . It, in turn, attracts tourists with enchantingly beautiful views. Here you can relax from the rhythm of life in a big city, enjoying unity with nature and clean air.

There are also architectural monuments, which include Bellver Castle and Almudaina Palace.

A visit to the cave part of the island, namely the caves of the Dragon and Arta, will provide a thrill.

Spanish resorts on the world map

Spanish resorts are very popular among tourists from all over the world. Due to their favorable location and rich history, they can leave few people indifferent. The warm climate, proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, the culture that has developed over the centuries attract almost everyone.

Although the most visited Spanish cities are located in completely different parts of the country, a general pattern can be traced: people are seduced by the sea and the sun. These two things can boast of Madrid, located in the center of the country, and the port of Barcelona, and the coastal Costa Blanca. The settlements of Spain are of great importance in Western Europe and even throughout the world.

International airports in Spain

Spain has quite a few airports, both domestic and international. It is not always possible to show all of them on the world map, it all depends on the scale of the map. In total, sixteen airports have international status.

The largest of them are located in Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Girona, Valencia, Alicante, Granada. The largest are Madrid and Barcelona airports. The airport of the capital bears the interesting name of Madrid Barajas, and many people know the airport of Barcelona under the name of El Prat.

Part of Western Europe, or where is the state?

Features of the geographical position and borders

Spain belongs to Western Europe and is its southwestern tip . The Iberian Peninsula is 80% occupied by it, it includes the Canary and Balearic Islands, as well as some objects on the African coast. From Europe, the country is reliably separated by mountains, behind which France is located.

Due to such heterogeneity of the population in the country, internal problems are exacerbated from time to time. For example, Spain is the largest EU country among those who do not want to recognize Kosovo, for the reason that it has similar problems with the Basque population.

Recently, the situation has been developing in the direction of aggravating such problems, since the flow of immigrants from African countries, both legal and criminal, is increasing in Spain.

Currency

Today, the euro is used in Spain, this currency was introduced in 2002. Currency exchange is not a problem, it is carried out through banks. There are also numerous exchange offices, which have a more favorable rate than in bank branches.

Tourists are very attracted by the ancient fortress of Villa Vella, which has survived to this day, built in the 14th century.

Large port city Malaga – a great holiday destination with many beaches.

Basque Country

Castilla and Leon

Spain is full of amazing places, in this small country you can see a huge variety of nature, amazing beaches, cozy villages and wonderful cities.

In this article we want to tell you about the north of Spain, which is special in its own way.

Salvaterra de Miño, part of the province of Pontevedra, part of the Autonomous Community of Galicia

not just a country for a beach holiday.

Geography

The northern edge is predominantly occupied by mountains, and only along the coast closer to the water can one find a flat landscape. The northern landscapes with diverse flora are much more picturesque than the central and southern parts of the country.

The climate here is significantly different from other regions of this country, oceanic, with a lot of precipitation. The air temperature varies from +15 to +25 degrees in summer and from +6 to +15 degrees in winter. Wonderful weather conditions for hiking in the mountains.

What attracts tourists

In addition to natural beauties, the north of Spain is interesting for its rich history, which has been formed over many centuries. Every city and region in the north is filled with ancient architecture and distinct local traditions.

This region also attracts those wishing to renounce the hectic everyday life for a while and take care of the spiritual, namely, to walk the path of pilgrims. Many people manage to pass it to the very end, as the path is varied with routes with different levels of load and landscapes for every taste.

Northern regions of Spain

We will go into more detail about each region below. Perhaps among them will be exactly the place that you choose for your next vacation.

Galicia

The most northwestern region of Spain. From the west, this region is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, from the north by the Bay of Biscay, from the south the region borders on Portugal. The center of the area is the delightful city of Santiago de Compostela, where the Pilgrimage Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago) leads.

Galicia includes 4 provinces: A Coruña, Ourense, Pontevedra and Lugo.

In Galicia, you can see the remains of ancient fortresses, as well as buildings from the ancient Roman era, which in our imagination take us straight into the past. In this region, you can visit many temples, both Christian and Muslim.

The main attractions are:

Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela (Catedral de Santiago de Compostela)

This is the most famous cathedral, where the relics of the biblical apostle James Zebedee are kept. This is where the well-known pilgrimage route leads. This cathedral is one of the largest in Europe. The four facades of the cathedral look completely different due to multiple rebuildings. Inside, the temple is decorated with a variety of sculptures, and the main attraction is the world’s largest censer suspended from the ceiling (human size and weighing 80 kg). It takes eight servants to set it in motion by swinging.

Interesting!
The image of the cathedral adorns the Spanish coin of 2 euro cents.

Ancient Roman lighthouse Tower of Hercules (La Torre de Hércules) in La Coruña

There are not many such structures left in the world. The lighthouse was built during the Roman Empire, is considered the oldest lighthouse in the world and the only ancient Roman lighthouse used to this day. Included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The lighthouse is located in a well-maintained park. From here you can enjoy wonderful sunsets and breathtaking views of the ocean. However, keep in mind that it can be windy in these places, so be sure to bring a sweater or windbreaker with you.

Fans of the Roman era should also pay attention to the Roman walls of Lugo (Muralla romana de Lugo), built in the middle of the 3rd century. The length of the structure, consisting of 85 towers, is 2,266 meters. The monument is located almost in the center of the city and is one of the main attractions that attracts tourists.

Asturias

Asturias is rich in bays along the coast of the Bay of Biscay and picturesque cliffs. The Contabrian mountains make up the relief of this region. These landscapes are simply breathtaking! Interestingly, the lands along the north coast of Spain never became part of Muslim Spain, as it was not easy for the Arabs to fight in the mountains. For this reason, Arabic motifs cannot be found in the architecture of Asturias.

Sites of ancient people have been found here, so it is not surprising that this region of Spain is full of historical monuments.

In addition, tourists are impressed by the great variety of ancient caves: Tito Bustillo (Ribadesella), El Pindal (Deva), Cueva Huerta (Teverga) and others, whose rock paintings date back about 30,000 years ago.

Oviedo alone, you can see a lot of interesting things, below we will tell you about the sights included in the UNESCO World Heritage List:

San Miguel de Lillo Church0723

Built approximately in 848 by order of Ramiro I. Unfortunately, today only a third of the original building has survived. Inside the building, you can see the preserved frescoes of the 9th century and sculptural decoration, which are considered the rarest examples of the Byzantine style in Spain.

Cathedral of the Holy Savior (Catedral de San Salvador)

The cathedral began to be built at the end of the 13th century, and its construction continued for three centuries until the completion of the tower, in the middle of the 16th century.

It is noteworthy that this Gothic style is quite rare in the medieval architecture of Asturias.

Also known as the “Top of Gibraltar” (Granada of Gibraltar), the border separates Gibraltar from La Linea de la Concepción, a Spanish municipality. The border was established as a result of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, signed by the Kingdom of Spain and Great Britain. However, Spain claims that it does not recognize the border, claiming sovereignty over Gibraltar. At the border there is a high fence, which was built in 1909 UK.

Gibraltar

Andorra and Morocco

The nearest major cities to Andorra in Spain are Barcelona and Lleida (Lleida), which are approximately 200 and 150 km away respectively. The biggest problem at the border is smuggling, especially tobacco. This product is sold in Andorea at low prices. Although Spain is located on a different continent, Spain also shares a land border with Morocco through the Penon de Vélez de la Gomera and the autonomous cities of Melilla and Ceuta.

Please note!
The largest airport in Spain is located in Madrid. Tourists planning a holiday on the Costa Brava can come to Catalonia. Barcelona International Airport is located 12 km from Girona.

Rivers of Spain on the map

Five main rivers of Spain should be distinguished: Tajo, Duero, Guadiana and Guadalquivir, which flow south and west, then flow into the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Ebro, which has an outlet in Tarragona in the Mediterranean.

River Tahoe
, also known as Tagus, is the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula. Starting in the mountains east of Madrid and running through Teruel and Toledo to central Spain before crossing the Spanish-Portuguese border, the river enters the sea at Lisbon. As you know, this is a large river that flows through steep rocky valleys. This region is not suitable for building structures. It has many reservoirs that are used to generate hydroelectric power.

River Ebro
is not the longest, but it is considered the most voluminous river in Spain. The river originates from the Spanish mainland, starting at Pico de los Tres Mares, Cantabria and emptying into the Mediterranean Sea at Tarragona. Here is the Ebro Delta, which covers an area of up to 320 km². It is one of the greatest wetlands in Europe and is used to grow citrus fruits, vegetables as well as rice.

Many rivers in Spain irrigate fertile lands that are used for agriculture (for growing olives, grapes and other fruits and vegetables). Guadalquivir
is Spain’s most famous river, providing water to the fertile valley of Andalusia, creating rich agricultural land. The name Guadalquivir comes from the Arabic al-Wadi al-Kabir, which means “great river”.

Duero River
also provides an agricultural area, Ribera del Duero. This region is famous for its vineyards and excellent red wines. The river flows from Soria to north-central Spain, flows to Portugal, passing through North Meseta and the city of Zamora.

Spain, or as it is officially called – the Kingdom of Spain, is located in the south-west of Europe and attracts tourists not only the most memorable resorts with numerous sandy beaches, but also the famous Canary Islands with picturesque nature, but also multifaceted historical architecture , monuments of history, culture.
Any visiting tourist will find something for himself in this bright and cheerful country.

Particular attention should be paid to resorts located in picturesque places, such as the Balearic and Pitius Islands, which are located in the warm Mediterranean Sea and, of course, the Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean. Tourists like to relax on the islands, and they are happy to fly to them. Moreover, the season on the Spanish islands goes all year round, and even in winter they have a lot of vacationers. This is possible due to the location of the islands in the Atlantic Ocean.

The capital of Spain is Madrid. Surprisingly, this is not the most popular city among tourists. People mainly come here for the weekend to stroll through the streets, admire them and take photos of the Spanish capital. There are almost no tourists who spend a week or more in Madrid. On weekdays, there are hundreds of thousands of Spaniards who come to the capital to work. They are everywhere, and the city these days is like a huge anthill, where everyone is busy with something. For this reason, Madrid is not very attractive for tourists, but for the population of the country it is even very attractive in terms of earnings. And besides, there is no sea in Madrid. And this is a huge minus.

It is not difficult to guess that the most popular city among tourists is Barcelona. Three out of five tourists who generally fly to Spain come here. There is a lot to see in Barcelona. There are hundreds of attractions that you can go around for days and weeks. But, unfortunately, there are no beach resorts in Barcelona. They are all outside the city. Tourists rent a room in the resorts. During the day they rest on the beaches. And in the evenings they come to the city itself to enjoy the rest to the fullest. The trip is not long, the main resorts are within 10-15 minutes by public transport. So tourists are quite happy with it.

Valencia is another popular resort city in the country. In Valencia, it is convenient to relax because you can easily get to the island of Mallorca from the city. Ships depart daily from the port towards the island, and this walk will be the most memorable.

Spain is a unique country. It neighbors with Portugal and France, and from the side of the Strait of Gibraltar with Morocco. By the way, if you are going to rest near Gibraltar, you will witness how tankers, ships and yachts pass through the strait. The sea stream does not stop here for a minute, and this is a super sight.

Spain has a huge number of castles, many of them under five hundred years old. And this is not surprising. After all, the country is still ruled by a king. Most of the tourists come to the country for the sake of castles. They build their route in such a way that they pass along roads that have castles or cities with castles. Unfortunately, not all castles can be seen from the inside. Some are closed for renovations. Some are too old and dangerous to visit. And some of them have been completely sold to private hands, where businessmen and famous people live. But do not be upset about this, because no one will forbid you to approach the castle and take photos.

Another attraction of Spain is wine. Vineyards grow in the country, and they have excursions that are popular. Tourists are told about how grapes grow in these conditions, they show how wine is made and give it a try and buy it for themselves.
For sports fans, Spain is just a godsend. Here in every town there are sports teams in different sports. The most popular games are football and basketball. Stadiums are almost always packed with spectators and this is a real holiday.
In general, Spain has a lot to see and go to. So see the map, download it and travel brightly.

Spain occupies the position of a coastal country on the world map, which to some extent explains its popularity among travel enthusiasts.

It also contributes to the fact that it has a long history and attracts tourists with amazingly beautiful views, sunny weather and ancient cities.

This is one of the most famous and visited countries in the world. Each place here is unique in its own way.

All in the same Europe, it is the fourth largest country. Due to its favorable and somewhat unique geographical position, it enjoys a very warm climate. Although the weather conditions in different areas of this country vary greatly, in general, the temperature rarely drops below zero when and where.

What countries borders

Looking at the world map, it is clear that Spain borders on five states: France and Andorra in the northern part, in the west, Gibraltar in the south and in the African part of the country.

All borders are land.

Internal government

Spain is one of the few countries with a monarchy that has survived to this day.

It is worth remembering that the monarchy here is constitutional, that is, assuming the presence of a parliament.
The crown is passed down through the male line. The current head of state is Philip VI. The executive branch of government is headed by the Prime Minister, now Mariano Rajoy. The majority in parliament is usually made up of the People’s Party and the Socialist Workers’ Party.

However, this is a multinational country, and many here speak their native languages.

The Catalan and Basque languages are very common, belonging to the indigenous peoples who have long inhabited the territory: the Catalans, the inhabitants of the province of Catalonia, and the Basques. Many of the languages spoken by the peoples of this area in the past are now, alas, disappearing due to assimilation.

Tourists from Russia, of course, are worried about whether they speak Russian in Spain. Of course, the entire local population does not speak Russian, but there is no need to be afraid of the language barrier – many local restaurants have menus in Russian, and an electronic translator will help you communicate on the streets.

The main currency here, as in most other EU countries, is the euro, which was adopted in the state as a national currency in 2002. Prior to that, the peseta, an old Spanish monetary unit, was in circulation.

At the beginning of 2018, the population of Spain was 46.5 million.
This country has a fairly large urban population – almost 80 percent. At the same time, the country has a low, compared to most of other Western European states, population density – 92 inhabitants per square kilometer.

Many immigrants from Latin America and Great Britain, Eastern Europe, as well as gypsies and Jews live here.

Spain on the political map of the world is limited not only by the territory in Europe. If we take into account the Spanish territories in Africa, the area of \u200b\u200bthe entire state is about 505 square kilometers.

Spain is a secular state, but the main part of the population professes Catholicism. There are quite a lot of Protestants and Orthodox in the country, recently the number of Muslims has been increasing. In a small number there are also communities professing Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Hinduism. It should be noted that quite a lot of atheists and non-religious people also live here.

These two things can boast of Madrid, located in the center of the country, and the port of Barcelona, and the coastal Costa Blanca. The settlements of Spain are of great importance in Western Europe and even throughout the world.

International airports in Spain

Spain has quite a few airports, both domestic and international. It is not always possible to show all of them on the world map, it all depends on the scale of the map. In total, sixteen airports have international status.

The largest of them are located in Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Girona, Valencia, Alicante, Granada. The largest are Madrid and Barcelona airports. The airport of the capital bears the interesting name of Madrid Barajas, and many people know the airport of Barcelona under the name of El Prat.

Seville is officially the warmest city year round in continental Europe and winter is a great time to visit. While you might get caught in the occasional downpour, it’s much better than trying to visit in summer when temperatures commonly reach over 40°C! Ouch!

Winter brings less tourists and much lower prices, with even some of the highest rated hotels coming down to under $100 a night.

You won’t run out of gorgeous cathedrals, handsome museums and fine art shows to fill your days with.

5. Faro, Portugal

Faro is the southernmost city in Portugal and the perfect getaway spot for someone seeking quiet R&R time. It’s a quaint and charming town offering an escape from the hustle and bustle, and has warm weather in winter unlike most of Europe.

Just like in Seville, tourist numbers are lowest in winter, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t lots to do. The winter season only bring around 5 days of rain each month, so there are still many sunny days to golf, beach walk, bird watch and cycle.

Gibraltar, UK

Many people have heard of the ‘The Rock of Gibraltar’, but not as many could place it on a map. (Especially us North Americans!)

Gibraltar is a tiny 6 square kilometre British Overseas Territory, located on the tip of Spain, with views toward Morocco. It’s been under British rule since 1713, but has exchanged hands many times before that.

While it’s small, Gibraltar is a great winter vacation spot for it’s mild climate and long list of things to do. You can explore over 150 caves, 50km of World War II tunnels, botanical gardens, take the cable car, or walk on the suspension bridge. You’ll also be a stones throw from both Spain and Morocco to easily add some extra warm winter destinations to your trip.

Valletta, Malta

I honestly can’t think of a more strikingly beautiful city than Valletta. It almost seems like it’s out of a movie scene. In addition to Valletta’s beauty, the capital city of Malta is also warm during winter, because of its location south of Italy in the Mediterranean Sea.

In fact all of Malta’s cities will have similar warm climates, so don’t scratch gems like Mdina, Rabat, or Zabbar off your list.

Valletta was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980, and was just named the European Capital of Culture.

8. Crete, Greece

Escape the snow and head to Crete, the largest island in Greece.
If I’m being honest, Crete can be a little rainy during winter but that won’t stop you from enjoying it’s hundreds of miles of beaches. I’d rather be on a gloomy beach than in the freezing cold! Plus, if you get stuck inside, you can just eat delicious authentic Greek food all day long. Problem solved!

Visiting Crete in the winter opens up a different type of Greece than in the summer – one that is more relaxed, hospitable and charming. You won’t have line ups, inflated prices, or cities overrun with tourists.

9. Palermo, Italy

Palermo is Italy’s 5th largest city, and because it’s located on the ‘rock’ that the ‘boot’ of Italy kicks on the map, it’s also one of the warmest.

Thanks to the warm Sirocco winds that blow in from Africa, winters in Palermo are mild and have reach up to 20°C on some afternoons. This means you can enjoy everything from the unreal street food to the clear turquoise waters, all year long.

If you’re a fan of ‘The Godfather’, then Palermo is probably already on your bucket list.

The third entry for Spain on the list is dazzling Mallorca with its impossibly crystal clear waters. It’s located in the cluster of islands off the east coast of Spain, and is usually synonymous with spring break parties, but Mallorca is more chill than the infamous Ibiza. Thanks to it’s location in the Balearic Sea, the weather is warm and sunny all year round.

Since mass tourism has been on the island since the 50’s, winter is the best time to go. You’ll have all the world famous spas and hotels all to yourself, as well as over 3400 restaurants and 262 breathtaking beaches.

Toulon, France

Toulon isn’t well known, but it’s weather should be! It’s the warmest city in France during the winter and it’s also much more affordable than it’s nearby neighbours. Close to Toulon you’ll find Saint Tropez, Cannes and Monte Carlo, Monaco – all sharing the same mild winter weather.

Thanks to the mountains to the north of the city, the cold winter winds are kept away from Toulon, making winter relatively warm, dry and sunny.

12. Kotor, Montenegro

This spectacular fortified city looks exactly like it’s from the pages of a children’s story book. Hidden inside the protection of a winding bay, Kotor is an ancient walled city with a history spanning back to the Middle Ages.

Not only is Kotor quite mild for a country in the Balkans, but it’s also one of the most affordable places on this entire list! Your budget will stretch 2-3x’s here compared to warm European islands in the winter months.

A visit here during winter will be quiet and relaxed as most of the cruise ships won’t return until spring. Use the cooler weather to hike, bike, jog and stroll around the old town and many fortifications throughout the city.

Game of Thrones lovers will be all over this one! Sibenik is a charming old city along the Dalmatian Coast with lots of history to be discovered, but most recently was used as a filming site for the insanely popular series. Sibenik is much smaller and less crowded than other Croatian cities that have exploded in popularity due to GOT.

While highs of 12 and 13 aren’t sweltering, it’s sure warmer than the 0º freezing weather of nearby Baltic countries. Warm winds and waters from the Adriatic Sea keep Sibenik quite mild and tolerable during winter.

Okay, so is Istanbul technically in Europe or Asia? Both! The city straddles both continents and has heavy influence of each culture throughout its streets.

Istanbul enjoys a moderately mild winter compared to the rest of Eastern Europe, but it’s not going to be the place for sun worshipers. There is little sun during the winter, but that might give more time and freedom to explore the hundreds of attractions scattered throughout the ancient city.

Isles of Scilly, United Kingdom

Located just off the coast of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly is the warmest place in England during winter. We actually stayed in Penzance (just on the main land before you get to these islands) in the winter and quite enjoyed the peacefulness and temperate climate of the area.

The North Atlantic Current keeps the islands warm throughout the winter months, making frost or snow extremely rare.

Visiting the Isles of Scilly is like taking a step back in time. Everything moves a little more slowly on these beautiful islands, as it should.

1. Limassol, Cyprus

Despite its reputation as a summer destination, Limassol is a winter excursion not to be missed! The region is one of Europe’s greatest winter sun destinations, with temperatures dropping to a comfortable 13°C at night.

The historic fishing harbor’s winding stone alleyways snake outwards, with structures dating back to the Middle Ages. Limassol is a winter retreat you won’t regret, with its beaches, grand European castles, and Greek ruins.

In addition to lower accommodation prices and flights, there is a long list of archaeological and cultural sites to visit during winter, along with bustling nightlife and great food.

Outdoorsy travelers will find plenty to do during their visit. Cycling, hiking, bird watching, horseback riding, sailing, air sports, snow skiing, and tennis are just some of the more active excursions available.

One can also explore the wine routes in the region for a deep look into the heart of Cyprus’ wine industry, or take a cultural excursion along the Byzantine church routes and take photos of the region’s majestic monasteries.

2. Palermo, Italy

Do you want to spend your winter in the sun while being linked to the rest of Europe? Palermo, Sicily’s sun-kissed capital, is one of the best winter destinations Europe has to offer. It is famous for its culture and gastronomy as well as being the fifth biggest city in Italy.

Winter is also a great season to visit the island because of the numerous sunny days – as composer Richard Wagner famously mused, Palermo is a great winter destination.

Palermo’s winters are moderate, with temperatures reaching a balmy 20°C on certain afternoons, thanks to the warm Sirocco winds that sweep in from Africa. This means you can enjoy everything from the unbelievable street cuisine and fantastic wine, to the stunning picture-perfect blue ocean, no matter the time of the year.

If the sun doesn’t shine, there’s absolutely no reason to fret. Palermo has a diverse range of culture, fashion, history, and art to explore.

In the winter, the seasonal flora and fauna are especially lovely, and the spectacular ancient Roman monuments and Greek temples are less crowded.

The weather is ideal for touring and seeing the area’s stunning volcanic scenery.

The Canary Islands’ natural richness includes unexpected regions sculpted by volcanoes, such as Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote, Mt. Teide (Spain’s tallest peak), and breathtaking views from El Hierro.

4. Seville, Spain

Seville might not be the first city you’ll think of when talking about the best warm winter destinations in Europe, but more and more visitors are traveling to the city during the colder months. With typical winter temperatures of a comfortable 10-12 degrees Celsius, the city still keeps its appeal even in the less frequent periods when the weather turns colder.

In the winter, lines for admittance to Seville’s cultural attractions are also shorter. Enjoy the Cathedral’s amazing architecture or the Alcazar Palace’s magnificent grounds.

If the temperature drops and the chill of winter arrives, most of the city’s traditional tapas become the ideal comfort food to warm the soul, and if you’re visiting for the holidays, Seville has a number of great Christmas markets spread around the city.

In the days leading up to Christmas, a stroll through the streets of Seville will reveal spectacular nativity scenes in store windows and churches all around the city.

As days become shorter, a stroll around the charming Plaza de Espaa and the lovely Maria Luisa Park adjacent to it is the ideal way to spend a winter evening. Overall, Seville’s numerous stunning monuments evoke a romantic type of charm that’s absent during other seasons of the year.

5. Azores Islands, Portugal

The Azores are a collection of nine islands with historic villages, cathedrals, forts, palaces, volcanic beaches, and spectacular lakes. The Azores islands are considerably less busy in the winter, making them ideal for some alone time.

Visit Angra do Heroismo, the archipelago’s oldest community, and marvel at the beautiful churches and residences from various historical periods, go on a relaxing trip to Terra Nostra Garden, or enjoy whale watching. Then tour a Cha Gorreana tea estate, or kayak in one of the numerous volcanic lakes.

This Portuguese archipelago’s volcanic origins have resulted in a spectacular array of hot springs and natural pools. In fact, many people consider the Azores to be a thermal bathing paradise.

Swimming is one of the region’s many hot springs is a popular way to unwind. Because of the high iron concentration, the water from the thermal springs is a rusty orange/brown color. The water temperature ranges between a sizzling 35 and 40 degrees Celsius. When it rains, it’s really rather pleasant to be in a thermal bath, making it a great warm winter pastime.

A far cry from the icy winter temperatures of the UK, winter months in Valencia experience typical daily temperatures of roughly 16°C with nighttime temperatures seldom falling below 7°C.

During the holiday months, Valencia is bustling with Christmas booths selling festive decorations, delectable sweets, and other seasonal treats. One market is located in front of the cathedral, while another is located in the streets around the city’s Central Market.

A Christmas amusement fair is held every year in the city, as well as numerous unique holiday circuses. They’re great places to get youngsters into the Christmas mood!

Valencia’s food culture is best explored during the winter months. Away from the peak season, the city’s streets and pubs are crowded with residents rather than tourists, and visitors are few, making it the best time to get a genuine sense of the city and its cuisine.

Whether you’re eating your way through Christmas markets or savoring delectable tapas coupled with local wines, you’re guaranteed a winter vacation you won’t forget. Make the most of your getaway and cruise Spain by turning it into a full European road trip.

7. Faro, Portugal

Faro, in the Algarve area of southern Portugal, is one of the hottest towns in Portugal, if not Europe. Winter in Faro is unlike the usual winter you see anywhere in Europe, especially if you’re used to piles of snow, bone-chilling damp, and biting winds.

With more than 10 hours of sunshine on most days, it seems more like a lovely late spring. This isn’t to say that the weather is always good for the beach, but you can depend on clear skies and warm temperatures that won’t require scarves or a jacket.

Faro is a fascinating city in and of itself, with a lovely old town, medieval fortifications, a sun-drenched harbor, and a tangle of cobblestone alleyways lined with antique houses.

There are lots to see and do outside of the city, including beaches, wetlands, parks, and even islands just off the coast where day-trippers may find golden dunes, alfresco eateries, and medieval towns.

If you’re really looking for a taste of the tropics, the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa’s lagoons and neighboring beaches, (notably the islands of Ilha de Faro to the southwest and Ilha da Barreta to the south) lie right outside Faro’s door.

Looking for the most beautiful winter destination in Europe? In the summer, Athens is a paradise, but it’s also pretty attractive in the winter. As the capital of Greece and one of Europe’s oldest cities, the city offers a diverse range of activities and sights to see.

Athens, winter is met by colder weather and chances of rain, but the temperatures are still considerably higher compared to Eastern or Northern Europe, so it’s still one of the best warm winter European vacations!

For visitors to Athens for the first time, archeological monuments such as the Acropolis, Ancient Agora, and Temple of Olympian Zeus are the primary highlights. While most of these tourist spots are open during the winter, note that you’ll have less time to explore as days are shorter during the winter months.

The Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum are two excellent museums in Athens that provide tourists with a deeper understanding of Ancient Greece. These are perfect for visiting Athens in the winter as they allow you to explore Greek history even on wet days!

While Naples is not Italy’s most popular tourist destination, its beauty should certainly not be overlooked, especially during the winter months.

Because of Naples’ position in Southern Italy, sightseeing in the city is not hampered by frigid weather. Winter also means fewer visitors in Naples while airline and lodging rates are significantly lower.

During winter, head to the most visited street in Naples, Spaccanapoli Road for shopping, touring, and learning about the local culture. This road has a lively vibe and is usually bustling with visitors.

The Piazza del Gesu Nuovo Area in Naples’ old center is a tiny but busy square. A visit here is a brief excursion, but it’s worth your time. Two historic churches, as well as an exquisite Immaculate Virgin spire, can be seen in this area.

Castel Sant’Elmo, a historic fortification perched atop a high hill near Naples, offers spectacular views of the city and the Bay of Naples.

Another well-known sight is the Piazza del Plebiscito. It houses the Royal Palace as well as a number of other must-see attractions. Many concerts, including those by Maroon 5 and Elton John, have been held here.

Visitors come to Malta to soak up the sun and swim in the warm seas that surround the archipelago, but there is so much more to Malta than the sand and sea that it is known for. Winter temperatures of 10–16°C are ideal for getting out and about in Valetta.

Walking through Valetta’s streets in the winter is an eye-opening experience. The views of picturesque little alleys and historic buildings are worth seeing on this UNESCO World Heritage site. Valetta is small in size, and you can stroll through the city in a short amount of time.

The human history of Malta is as old and exciting, and the vestiges of this past may be found all around the Maltese Islands, but Valletta’s National War Museum, which displays Maltese wartime history, is a good place to start.

The Grand Master’s Palace, which houses the President of Malta Office and has gorgeous gardens, statues, and fountains, is one of the city’s most famous tourist attractions.

The Firka Fortress, the Venetian Lighthouse, and the multicolored sea-side buildings are just a few of the attractions on the port.

The holidays in Malaga are a fantastic time when the streets are festooned with lights. The action centers on Calle Larios, a prominent pedestrian thoroughfare lined with stores, restaurants, and cafés. The street itself is lovely, and with all the Christmas lights, it becomes a magical sight.

The Agios Lazarus Church, which originates from the 9th Century, is well worth seeing. The Church has an intriguing history, and travelers interested in religion and architecture should include it in their itinerary.

While there are sunny days, the sky may be dreary sometimes. This doesn’t mean that winters in Istanbul are dull, it just means that you need to reorganize your itinerary differently to get the best experience.

During winter, the core neighborhoods, like Beyoglu and Nisantasi become crowded, whereas the Bosphorus coastlines are quieter.

It is a nice time to visit this part of Istanbul since there are hardly any visitors compared to the rest of the year, allowing you to appreciate all of the city’s landmarks and museums in solitude.

After a cold morning strolling around the city, nothing beats the warmth of a Turkish bath and the experienced hands of a masseuse to cap out the day. Klç Ali Paşa Hamam was built in 1590 and is located in the neighborhood of Tophane. It features recently renovated interiors with impeccable service.

Lanzarote offers comfortably warm weather in the winter that is not as scorching in the summer. Temperatures in December range from 19°C to 22°C on average. Combine the never-ending sun with a little rain here and there and you have one of the world’s best climates.

As the island’s population shrinks, you’ll have a better opportunity of seeing everything it has to offer. Lanzarote’s Christmas is one of a kind. On New Year’s Eve, spectacular nativity displays are shown in the towns. Resorts are bedecked with lights and beaches are lit by fireworks on New Year’s eve.

Lanzarote’s winter months are ideal for stargazing. The island is well-known as one of the greatest sites in the Northern Hemisphere to see what’s going on in the sky. Teide National Park, widely regarded as one of the greatest spots to stargaze away from light pollution, has been designated as a “starlight destination”.

20. Algarve, Portugal

When much of Europe is experiencing cold and dreary days, the sun-kissed southern section of Portugal is the ideal retreat.

Unspoiled beaches, towering cliffs, charming fishing villages, and fantastic surf are just a few of the highlights of winter in the Algarve. During winter, the Algarve experiences a nice combination of sunny days interspersed with wind and rain.

Whether you choose to swim or stay on shore, you may visit some of the most beautiful beaches in Algarve without having to deal with throngs of tourists during the summer months. This allows you to fully appreciate their beauty. In the winter, the beaches are ideal for sunning yourself throughout the day and a calm stroll at dusk.

You’ll find a plethora of lovely villages in the Algarve, and the benefit of visiting in the winter is that they aren’t as busy. This allows you to get a sense of what life is like in the region. Tavira and Olho are both excellent starting points for exploring Ria Formosa Natural Park.

You may either walk across to Tavira Island to visit the anchor Cemetery or take a boat tour to explore the neighboring islands.

21. Cagliari, Sardinia

With the typically Meditteranean climate, the summers in Sardinia are dry and hot and the winters are warm with only a little rainfall. The winter days are usually at about 10°C – 14°C and quite sunny, perfect for a walk along the marvelous Cagliari Coast.

Winter in Cagliari provides the perfect backdrop for exploring the city’s ancient streets and immersing yourself in its history. The cooler temperatures make exploring much more pleasant than it is during the sweltering summer heat.

Plus, without the crowds, you’ll have a much more peaceful experience exploring the alleyways, piazzas, and old churches.

Visitors can explore the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, each having a variety of restaurants, pubs, and cafés to visit. Culture vultures can learn about Sardinia’s history in any of the city’s museums. It has its own beaches, too!

While the waters are slightly too cold to swim in during the winter, you may still admire the sand and sea. Indeed, without all of the summer swimmers, sunbathers, and families, the beaches become much more pleasurable to be in.

22.

Ibiza, Spain
Ibiza winter extends from November to April, with an average daily temperature of 15°C but rises to 25°C at the height of the day.

Winter also heralds the start of the rainy season, although the precipitation is not an issue as it is quite light even in October, the wettest month. When it does rain, it usually dissipates quickly thanks to the island’s winds, which blow away heavy clouds.

Visitors in January might find swimming to be a bit difficult as the water can get pretty frigid, but you can still enjoy a good day at the beach.

One of the best ways to make the most of the relatively warm weather is by taking a beach cruise through the island’s many beaches. Discover new locations to visit while sipping sangria and listening to some fantastic music!

You could also plan something romantic with your partner: a seaside lunch in any of the city’s Instagram-worthy beaches or a sunset dinner paired with wine. Choose any of Ibiza’s popular beaches and bask in the splendor of the Mediterranean Sea.

23. Barcelona, Spain

Winter in Barcelona lasts from December to March. Compared to other cities in Europe, winter here is mild. The temperature is usually 12°C and seldom drops below 5°C at night.

In winter, the days are mostly sunny and there are fewer people out and about. However, this does not prohibit one from having a fantastic experience in any of the city’s various attractions.

It’s not a secret that Barcelona is one of Europe’s most popular tourist (and party) destinations. In January, however, the city is far less crowded.

Swimming is not recommended in the winter, but you’ll find plenty of activities to enjoy in the warm winter sun.

Here, famous architect Gaudi created unique works of contemporary architecture, the majority of which are distributed across Barcelona. Aside from the well-known Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia, make sure to see Casa Batllo and Casa Mila.

In town, there are various yearly celebrations during January. On the 5th, for example, the Cavalcada dels Reis takes place: a magnificent procession filled with clowns, elves, and acrobats.

On the 17th, another parade takes place with animal blessings as part of the Festa dels Tres Tombs.

24. Lisbon, Portugal

In comparison to many northern European locations, Lisbon’s weather in December and January is relatively mild. Temperatures may still reach a warm 16 degrees Celsius with a low of 8 degrees once the sun goes down.

The city is one of the most popular in Europe, which means it’s generally very busy. In January, however, you’ll witness a different side to this charming city – one that’s far less frantic. During the winter, climbing the city’s hills doesn’t come with the sweltering heat of summer.

Belém’s area is rich in historical treasures and stunning UNESCO monuments. You won’t want to miss the magnificent Belém Tower which you’ll be able to see up close without the throngs of people during the busy season. You’ll want to visit the Jerónimos Monastery as well, where Vasco Da Gama slept his final night before sailing to Asia.

Alfama is Lisbon’s oldest district, with lovely cobblestone streets and a charming feel. It is also the birthplace of traditional Fado music, which can be heard throughout the area’s bars and restaurants.

Keep your next trip closer to home with our pick of Europe’s best winter-sun destinations

By David Annand

The Thai islands or Bali may be more synonymous with scorching-hot beaches in January, but there are alternatives for when you just want a quick blast of vitamin D to see you through to March. From golden islands to city breaks bathed in elusive December sunshine, these warmer climes in Europe mean escaping the blustery UK days are just a quick plane right away. For some further-flung ideas, see our pick of the best winter-sun destinations.

Cyprus

Best for: nature lovers
December temperature range: 10–19°C

It’s easy to forget that Cyprus is only about 130 miles off the coast of Lebanon. And, unsurprisingly, its winter temperatures run closer to those of the Levant than much of continental Europe, which means T-shirt weather during the off season. Winter is also a great time to go hiking in Cyprus’s dense forests, where you can stumble across fascinating Byzantine monasteries.

Where to stay: The seaside city of Paphos is a brilliant base for exploring the island and is home to many of the best hotels in Cyprus, including Almyra design hotel where the chef is a Nobu alumnus. In the north are some of the island’s prettiest beaches, where loggerhead and green turtles come to nest, along with the beachside Anassa hotel (closed 28 November to 31 March), located a short boat ride away from the Blue Lagoon.

Getty Images

Canary Islands

Best for: dyed-in-the-wool sun seekers
December temperature range: 11–21°C

In summer, the breeze that hits Lanzarote and Fuerteventura is blessed relief from the intense heat and a major draw for windsurfers. In winter, said breeze brings with it a bit of a chill, so you’re better off heading to the other Canary Islands: Tenerife or Gran Canaria. The former has made great strides repositioning itself as a cultural hub with an art gallery designed by Swiss firm Herzog and de Meuron and Santiago Calatrava’s concert hall in Santa Cruz. And the latter has plenty of charm beyond the overdeveloped tourist spots. The capital, Las Palmas, has a lively food scene and the landscape, particularly around village Artenara, is manna for hikers. Flights to both islands from London are under four and a half hours.

Where to stay: In Las Palmas, Bed and Chic is a cool 12-room hotel reminiscent of the Ace Hotel look, but without the pretension. On Tenerife, Hotel San Roque, is a pretty 18th-century manor house where dining and lounging takes place around the turquoise courtyard pool.

Getty Images

Madeira

Best for: thrill-seekers (but still good for pensioners, too)
December temperature range: 15 – 20°C

The long-time destination of choice for Britain’s blue-rinse brigade, staid old Madeira has been busy reinventing itself as a place for adrenaline-fueled adventure. And why not? The island is an outdoor Eden in miniature, with black-sand beaches, tumbling canyons and epic rock faces. Which means great mountain biking and wonderful views for those who dare to go paragliding. The network of levadas (water-irrigation channels carved into the volcanic island) makes for thrilling trail running. It is also, as far as we know, the only place to offer year-round urban tobogganing in wicker sleds, which are steered downhill at great speed.

Where to stay: The island’s most famous hotel is Reid’s Palace, A Belmond Hotel – a pink cliffside palace with a Michelin-star and stunning ocean pool. If you’re travelling in a group, Okulus sleeps eight, and thanks to its curated interiors, is easily the coolest villa in Madiera.

The Algarve, Portugal

Best for: getting away from it all
December temperature range: 9–18°C

Continental Europe’s most south-western region has its own sunny microclimate that makes it consistently warmer than the rest of Portugal. You won’t be in a bikini in winter, but the pleasant T-shirt temperatures mean that an increasing number of hotels and restaurants stay open year-round, and cities such as Albufeira retain a buzz. Away from the package tourist haunts, there are dramatic red-cliff coastlines and Moorish villages dotted among the hills to explore.

Where to stay: Enjoy a tranquil escape to Casas da Quinta de Cima, where a series of nine little cottages sit on a serene farm estate in rural eastern Algarve. For something more grand, reserve a room at Bel Vista, a turn-of-the-century villa hotel with a swimming pool framed by slender palm trees, a L’Occitance Spa and a one-star Michelin restaurant by Chef João Oliveira. See our pick of the best hotels in the Algarve for more options.

Getty Images

Athens, Greece

Best for: culture seekers
December temperature range: 9-15°C

Perhaps surprisingly, the Greek capital stays much warmer than many places on the country’s salty-aired coastline once winter rolls in. All the better for those who want a slice of sunshine without being marooned on a beach somewhere. Athens is a classic city-break destination, but an influx of artists, chefs and hoteliers over the past few years means the quirky neighbourhoods and must-visit restaurants are now as much a draw as the big-hitting sites. Spend days exploring the many museums, libraries and galleries – we particularly like the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, which is home to the National Library of Greece, the Greek National Opera and a 42-acre park.

Where to stay: For a room with a view, some suites at xenodocheio Milos have huge terraces overlooking the old Parliament. If you’re here for some sun and food, Ergon House is more than just a restaurant with rooms – the ground floor is a perpetually buzzy deli, roastery, bakery and dining room. See our pick of the best hotels in Athens for more.

The Greek Islands

Best for: open-water swimmers
December temperature range: depending on which island you’re on, temperatures range from 12–17°C

The gorgeous Aegean is surely the loveliest of Europe’s seas and the water off many of the Cyclades, such as Paros, Santorini and Milos, is still tolerable in winter, making it a year-round destination for swimmers. In places like Santorini, visiting in the off-season means you can explore the picturesque vistas without the crowds, while Rhodes is known to have clear blue skies and warm temperatures well into winter.

Where to stay: On Paros, newcomer Summer Senses Luxury Resort (closed October 16 to May 12) is a get-away-from-it-all haven where rooms range from deluxe hideouts to suites with private pools. The Vasilicos (closed October 16 to May 28) is one of the few hotels in Santorini that doesn’t have an adults-only policy, making it a great option for families. For a couples trip, Perivolas (closed November 1 to May 1) is wonderfully understated, preternaturally calm and home to a cracking guest-only restaurant. See our pick of the best Greek Island hotels for more.

Getty Images

The Azores

Best for: eco-conscious adventurers
December temperature range: 13–18°C

You might think that including the Azores is stretching the definition of Europe to breaking point, but the Atlantic archipelago is actually about five hours from London. And, in any case, they’re not your typical isolated island group. For starters, it’s never that hot here, even in summer. People don’t visit to laze on the beach Maldives-style. They come because it’s a natural nirvana, rich in wildlife, full of rugged, dramatic craters and caverns, hot springs and lush forests. All of which are being sustainably managed: only 5 per cent of the land is developed and the islands are dotted with marine conservation parks.

Where to stay: Stay at Santa Barbara Eco-Beach or the similarly green-minded Sete Cidades Lake Lodge, both on São Miguel. See our Azores hotels guide for more.

Malta

Best for: design buffs and hotel obsessives
December temperature range: 11–17°C

Its frankly ridiculous 300 days of sunshine a year would be the standout selling point for most islands of Malta’s size, but the understated Mediterranean gem is also a history-soaked gastronomic hub, packed with first-class hotels and surrounded by some of the world’s best diving sites. Visit in winter for a weekend exploring striking Valletta, the ancient capital that’s had a bit of a revival of late, converting some of its gorgeous townhouses into excellent design hotels. The restaurant scene is thriving, too. Head to Panorama at the British Hotel in Valletta or Barracuda near the Sliema coast for a taste of traditional Mediterranean food.

Where to stay: Domus Zamittello in Valetta is a restored baroque masterpiece by the bombed-out opera house, with painted coffered ceilings. Iniala Harbour House offers a front row seat to the Grand Harbour across its four smartly renovated townhouses.

Getty Images

Sicily

Best for: adventurous foodies
December temperature range: 11–17°C

Italy’s southernmost island is closer to Tunis than Rome and has winter weather to match. Visiting at this time of year allows you to get up close to Sicily’s incredible historic spaces such as the Temple of Concordia in Agrigento, which is reliably overrun in high season. With a distinct food culture, Sicily has gastronomic delights beyond summer’s glut of glorious fruit and veg – visit in February to experience the sea urchin season in full swing.

Where to stay: Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo is Sicily’s grand dame hotel, with opulent marble bathrooms and a pianist that cajoles couples to dance on the elegant balcony overlooking Amalfi-style Taormina. We also love Agriturismo trailblazer Monaci Delle Terre Nere, one of the region’s smartest and most stylish country hotels. For more, see our pick of the best hotels in Sicily.

Getty Images

Antalya

Best for: stop-and-flop and families
December temperature range: 10–16°C

Straddling two continents, Turkey’s enormous landmass is diverse enough to justify its nickname: the land of four seasons. For winter sun, the best part of the country to visit is, predictably, the south coast, particularly the area around Antalya. There’s a long stretch of fairly upmarket hotels to the west of the city, many of which are family-friendly entertainment retreats in their own right, with golf courses and adventure playgrounds beside the beach. On Turkey’s wilder south-west coast, there’s the pretty city of Bodrum and lovely Didyma with its astonishing ruined temple.

Where to stay: The Bodrum Edition (closed from November 1 to April 20), where Ian Schrager’s trademark all-white minimalism and knock-out proportions combine with a soft sand beach full of children splashing about on paddleboards.

The Best Places in Europe for Winter Sun

By Michael Cullen, Co-founder

Yes, it is possible to bask in warm winter sunshine within a 4 or 5 hour flight from northern Europe. Here are seven fabulous hideaways for all budgets.

1

Gozo, Malta

December sun: 18-21°C

Why go: Malta boasts some of the balmiest winter sunshine in Europe, and the crowd-free island of Gozo is its shimmering jewel. Easy to reach by ferry (25mins), Gozo is a treasure trove of red sandy beaches, sapphire blue waters, mysterious temples, and pretty seafront restaurants (try the Gozitan pizza!). Head for Ta’Cenc clifftops for a heart-melting sunset.

Stay here: Beautiful Gozo Hideaway is a warm, rustic townhouse in the charismatic small Gozitan town of Xaghra. With 3 bedrooms and a small private pool in its walled courtyard, it’s ideal for families or friends, and can sleep up to 8 using the sofabed. Prices from £271/night.

2

Southern Cyprus

December sun: 18-20°C

Why go: Cyprus was recently named the best affordable winter sun holiday for Brits. It also offers a fantastic mix of buzzy urban culture and sleepy village life. The city of Limassol (or Lemesos, either is fine) has a lively cafe-culture and boutique shopping scene. And it’s steeped in history and romance. Richard the Lionheart was married at the medieval castle near the old harbour, while lovebirds young and old still flock to legendary Aphrodite’s Rock down the coast.

Stay here: A short hop away, in the tiny hamlet of Psematismenos, we’ve unearthed a gorgeous and ultra-affordable sextet of rustic-chic suites and cottages for 2-4. Clustered around a central pool and courtyard garden, with loungers and sociable terraces, Modus Vivendi is the perfect spot for a lazy holiday of reading, sunbathing, fish tavernas and gentle sightseeing. Prices from £76/night.

3

Garachico, Tenerife

December sun: 19-22°C

Why go: The largest of the seven Canary islands, Tenerife might raise an eyebrow if all you know is the boozy reputation. There is, however, another Tenerife. A world away from the high-rise resorts, Garachico is a pretty fishing village on the north coast surrounded by nature reserves, volcanic rock pools and close to the stunning Punta de Teno beach, with its coastal cliffs stretching out ahead of you.

Stay here: Movie-star good looks make Hotel San Roque a must-visit hideaway for winter sun. This 18th-century mansion conversion combines exquisite traditional architecture with modern décor. It has a cloistered courtyard with a sleek swimming pool (lamp-lit at night), and the food is outstanding. Prices from £172/night.

4

Ponta do Pargo, Madeira

December sun: 19-21°C

Why go: Madeira may look like a lonely outcrop in the Atlantic Ocean, but this beautiful Portuguese archipelago is just a 4-hour hop from London. Unshackled from its ‘blue rinse brigade’ past, the island now draws adventurous travellers who come to see its incredible wildflowers and dramatic cliffs, which are straight out of Jurassic Park. Ponta do Pargo, on the westernmost tip, is famed for its lighthouse and superb seafood, and it gets the most winter sunshine.

Stay here: We absolutely loved Casas da Levada, a gorgeous collection of six rustic houses (for 2-10) tucked away in the emerald foothills of Ponta do Pargo. Incredibly good value, you’ll share wild gardens and a sensational infinity pool which faces the ocean. Fully self-catering. Prices from £103/night.

5  Cabo de Gata, Spain

December sun: 19-21°C

Why go: Europe’s only desert, Cabo de Gata is a magnet for creative souls. It’s where David Lean shot Lawrence of Arabia, and John Lennon wrote Strawberry Fields Forever. The heady atmosphere of beautiful isolation, beguiling beaches and wild, rugged terrain should spark your imagination, making it the perfect place to write that novel you always promised.

Stay here: Little Agave is a super-welcoming, affordable, off-grid 4-bedroom guesthouse, set amid the dramatic desert- and seascapes of the Cabo de Gata. Almería airport is just a 35-min drive away. Prices from £67/night.

6  Lanzarote, Canary Islands

December sun: 21-23°C

Why go: With chic new guesthouses and a flourishing wine scene, Lanzarote is quickly shedding its ‘Lanzagrotty’ reputation. The island sits on the same latitude as the Bahamas, which means you can spend Christmas Day on the beach. There are plenty more crowd-free Blue Flag beaches and world-class surfing spots to explore. Be sure to stay for 28 Dec – it’s Lanzarote’s equivalent of April Fools’ Day.

Stay here: Bijou and stunningly beautiful, The Ocean Hideaway is a dreamy hideout in northern Lanzarote. Sleeping 2-4, this romantic villa comes with an outdoor bathtub and stylish interiors. The wonderful owner, Luc, also provides a bespoke service. Prices from £230/night for entire villa.

7  Taghazout, Morocco

December sun: 21-24°C

Why go: OK, so Morocco definitely isn’t Europe. But consider this: it’s quicker to fly to Agadir (3h 45m) than to Mykonos, and being further south means winter temperatures are far warmer. Just an hour from Agadir, the small fishing town of Taghazout is populated with surfer-dudes, yoga-goddesses and photo-savvy nomads seeking good vibes and winter sunshine.

Stay here: A surfing-yoga-spa retreat set on a glorious golden beach, Paradis Plage Resort is a magnet for chilled-out couples and families. The resort offers a free kids club, a full gym, 4 restaurants, great eco credentials and epic ocean views from every room. Prices from £119/night.

Almeria, Spain

Best For: beach lovers and adventurers

January Temperature Range: 16 – 18° celsius | 61 – 64° fahrenheit

Average January Sunshine Hours: 10 hours

Average Rainy Days in January: 2 days

Wondering where is warm in January Europe? Well, Spain is the warmest country in Europe in winter and the southern city of Almeria is located in the driest area in Europe, with very little rain throughout the year. This makes it a great location for some winter sun!

There are plenty of things to do in Almeria too. You can visit the Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress perched above the city that was featured as a Game of Thrones filming location. The nearby Tabernas Desert was also a popular filming location in the 1960s, and the beautiful beaches of Cabo de Gata nature reserve are featured in Indiana Jones.

Andalucia is known for its tapas, and Almeria is no exception. In fact, I would argue the tapas in Almeria are the best in the region. You often get to choose your tapa from an extensive menu of traditional and modern fusion tapas, usually made from local ingredients.

Almeria is only two hours from Granada and the Sierra Nevada, so you can have the best of both worlds in the winter with access to the sunny beach and the snowy mountains within the same day.

During the Spanish Civil War Almeria was targeted by bombers, and an extensive network of tunnels and shelters were built under the city. These were forgotten about and rediscovered in 2001, and you can now take a tour of the tunnels to learn more about this period in the history of the city.

Almeria is a little off the beaten track when it comes to places to visit in Spain, so don’t expect as many people to speak English or for there to be English menus in all of the cafes and restaurants. However, people are friendly and it’s easy to visit the city and the surrounding areas without speaking Spanish.

Stay at HO Puerta de Purchena for its very cool rooftop pool, spacious rooms and excellent location.

If you’re looking for warm places in Europe in January but still want to get your culture on, Athens is a fantastic destination and one of Europe’s warmest winter city breaks.

Sure, you won’t be enjoying the Greek beaches the country is known for in summer, but you also won’t be sweating it out at the Acropolis with thousands of other tourists.

Athens has very mild weather in winter, with average high temperatures around 15° C, making it great weather for sightseeing! Add to the fact that Athens is a dry destination – most winter months have only five days of rain a month, giving you plenty of sunshine in between – and you’ve got a fantastic winter destination that isn’t your average sun holiday.

Flights to Athens are plentiful year round and often quite affordable, so you won’t struggle to get here. Once you arrive, you can enjoy the best of what Athens has to offer with a fraction of the summer crowds and none of the summer heat!

Some of the best things to do in Athens in winter include visiting the Parthenon and other sites of the Acropolis, visiting the excellent Acropolis Museum and National Archaeological Museums, checking out the local street art, enjoying delicious Greek coffee at hip Athens cafes, indulging in all the delicious Greek food at cozy tavernas, and visiting the Athens Christmas Market.

Or take a Greece road trip to ancient Delphi and the Peloponnese for a taste of ancient Greek history.

Stay at InnAthens for it’s fabulous central location, lovely courtyard and chic design.

Barcelona is an absolutely unique city. With its modernist architecture, narrow medieval streets, open and relaxed culture, and varied and tasty food, the Catalan city on the Mediterranean simply enchants every visitor. Many travellers choose to visit because of the many hours of sunshine the city offers.

The temperatures here don’t drop as much in winter, as is the case in most European cities. That’s why you can enjoy your coffee on one of the many bar terraces, which are a large part of the Mediterranean way of life, even during the cold months.

There are also other advantages to visiting Barcelona in winter. The lines in front of the city’s sights are shorter and move faster, so you save a lot of time. Accommodation prices also tend to fall, and its the perfect party city in which to spend New Year.

If you are travelling to Barcelona during the Christmas season, you should definitely visit one of the city’s Christmas markets. Even if these are not the typical Central European Christmas markets as we know them from other countries, the Barcelona Christmas markets have their very own charm. They are full of Catalan culture and typical local souvenirs and traditions.

As you can see, a visit to Barcelona is not only worthwhile in summer.

Stay at W Barcelona for its iconic beachfront location, infinity pool and superb facilities.

Bari is the capital of Puglia, one of the most southern regions of Italy, down in the heel of Italy’s ‘boot’. Whilst most visitors view it as a transit hub for getting to destinations elsewhere in Puglia, this compact city is a worthy destination in its own right.

Its medieval core is quite well-preserved and is a joy to wander around and get lost in. Be sure to visit the Basilica di San Nicola, which serves as the final resting place of St. Nicholas. And yes, I’m talking about Santa Claus! If you’re here at Christmas time, visiting his tomb will be especially meaningful.

Locals are very friendly and welcoming, perhaps because they don’t see foreign tourists that often. Despite being a modern city, old traditions are still alive and well here. Take a stroll down Arco Basso, and you’re bound to see Italian mothers and grandmothers rolling out orecchiette pasta by hand, deftly creating the dimpled shape with their thumbs.

You’ll definitely want to taste the local Puglian food while you’re here, as orecchiette is just one of many delicious local specialties.

While it’s not warm enough to swim, Bari’s weather stays pretty mild in winter and the mercury rarely drops below freezing. As the regional capital of Puglia, Bari is well-connected by train to other parts of Italy, and its international airport also receives flights from various European cities.

Stay at iH Grande Albergo Delle Nazioni for its seafront location, world-class service and fantastic breakfast.

One of the hidden gems of Europe and lesser visited compared to many other destinations in Italy, Cagliari is one of the best places for winter sun in Europe. When countries like Sweden or Norway are suffering from frigid temperatures, Cagliari typically (save from cold fronts that occasionally hit the city) enjoys a balmy sun during the day, and colder nights that are still pleasant.

Cagliari can be easily reached by plane from mainland Italy as well as many other cities in Europe, via either main or budget flights. The city is easy to explore on foot and using public transportation, but should you wish to visit the surroundings on day trips, you are probably better off renting a car (or joining guided tours).

There are many things to do in Cagliari. Make sure to hit the historical quarter of Castello, where you will find the well curated Museum of Archeology, the two watchtowers, and the beautiful Cathedral. From Via Santa Croce you will enjoy one of the best views of the city, over the roofs of Stampace, another historic quarter.

Scattered around town you will find several archaeological sites. The most famous one is the Roman Amphitheater; but you should also visit the Necropolis of Tuvixeddu and walk by Villa Tigellio.

If you fancy a bit of air, go for a walk along Poetto, the main urban beach which you can easily reach by bus from the centre of town. From there you can also access Molentargius Nature Reserve, a great place for birdwatching and where pink flamingos nest and live.

For incredible views of the Gulf of Cagliari, hike to the Sella del Diavolo. This easy to follow trail departs from the second urban beach – Calamosca – and within 30 minutes takes you to a fabulous viewpoint.

Stay at Hotel Aristeo for its perfect location, simple and stylish decor, and excellent breakfast.

Popular due to its Mediterranean coastline and balmy temperatures all year round, Sicily is one of the best European destinations for winter sun, especially when the warm African winds blow north. More specifically, the north of Sicily offers a lot to travellers wishing to escape the bleak, cold winters back home, and one town in particular stands out for us.

Cefalu, located just a few hours drive away from the capital city of Palermo, is the perfect spot to settle into for a winter break in Europe. Known for its 12th century cathedral, typically Sicilian winding streets, boutique hotels and picturesque beaches, the town is a haven for those seeking a winter getaway.

We visited in February when the United Kingdom was in the midst of back-to-back storms, and to feel the sun on our faces and actual warmth was very much appreciated and we had lots of time to soak in the atmosphere with a glass of local wine and fantastic food in the town square or lounging on the beach.

If you’re feeling more active you can hike up to the top of the Rocca, an unmissable hill looming up above the town from behind the cathedral. It’s a steep but rewarding climb, with incredible views out across the town and the ocean beyond. Rumour has it, it’s the place to be to watch the sun go down.

Stay at B&B del Giglio for its perfect location, classic style and pretty garden.

Cádiz is one of the best places for winter sun in Europe. Cádiz has 313 days of sunshine a year with the winter months (December through February) having almost 200 hours of sun each month. However, many people love it because it is mild, not hot nor cold.

The city of Cádiz is located within the province of Cádiz in the southwest coast of Spain. If it was not for a very narrow strip of land, it would be an island. Thus, Cádiz is one of the best places to visit for people who love the beach and water sports.

Being almost completely surrounded by water, there are countless spots for sailing, surfing, kite surfing, fishing, diving, and numerous beach activities. The city has one main promenade that stretches from one end to the other end. It is flanked with countless tapas bars, restaurants, and cafés with dishes to appease every palate.

Being one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in western Europe, Cádiz has over 100 watchtowers. Archaeologists have found remains in the area dating back approximately 3,124 years, meaning Cádiz was first inhabited around 1104BCE. The old city is a delightful maze of narrow winding streets full of history, shops, museums, and squares, perfect for wandering.

Crete is as far south as you can go in Europe, and it stays warmer there longer than anywhere else on the continent, making it one of the best European winter sun destinations. Winter temperatures are also much higher than on the continent, so it’s a great place to head for if you’re looking for a dose of Mediterranean sun.

The island is almost deserted in comparison with the summer peak season, and you get such a different perspective of it when you have it almost to yourself. Chania, the main city in western Crete, is open year-round, and makes an ideal base for exploring the island.

The west of the island has many of the best beaches in Crete, and it’s possible to visit them in winter – you’ll just need your own transport. Falassarna beach is around 90 minutes from Chania, and the pink sand beach at Elafonissi two hours drive away.

Crete in winter can reach daily highs of 16°c, with occasional days around 18°c or 19°c, with sunny weather prevailing around half the time. There’s also a chance of wet, even stormy weather, and the White Mountains in the west of the island are often snow-capped.

Getting to Crete in winter requires a bit more legwork than the rest of the year. Many of the airlines stop serving the island between November and March, so a connecting flight from Athens to Chania may be necessary.

Stay at the Calle Veneziana holiday home for its location in the old town, very cute decor and highly rated hosts.

Spend a few days in Dubrovnik for some of the best winter sight-seeing in Europe. Though there are rainy days during the winter, the weather tends to be mild and more often sunny rather than not.

With the crowds gone during the cooler weather, the city is more easily explored during the winter low season. Dubrovnik hotels, flights and attractions will also be cheaper, making this a good budget destination in the low season.

Walk along the old city walls for amazing views of all the orange roofs in the city and the Adriatic Sea. The city walls of Dubrovnik are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and have been considered to be among the best fortification systems of the Middle Ages.

Be sure to check out Fort Lovrenjac, a fort located just outside the western walls of the city of Dubrovnik. Famous for resisting Venetian rule, the fort was built and rebuilt over time, playing a crucial role in Dubrovnik’s line of defence.

Within the city’s walls, visit one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe. Founded in 1317, it is still in operation and located inside the Franciscan Monastery.

The city is easily reached by plane or by car from elsewhere within Croatia. Dubrovnik is full of history, and things to do, making it the perfect place to visit in January (or indeed any winter month!).

Estepona is one of Europe’s top winter sun destinations! Situated on the Mediterranean coast in the region of Malaga, this little yet socially vibrant town is a great winter holiday spot on the Costa del Sol. It is undoubtedly an excellent place for winter sun and is one of the warmest places in mainland Europe in winter.

From Estepnoa’s captivating culture to archaeological attractions and splendid Mediterranean wintertime sunshine, you can explore the town, including the Botanical and Orchid Gardens, Santaverde Cosmética Natural, the charming Centro Historico and the Teatro Auditorio Felipe VI.

There are numerous other things to do in Estepona, like sea and boat excursions, water sports, fishing and playing golf. Additionally, you can attend carnivals and events, like Flamenco, go shopping and taste the seafood.

Estepona has warm and mellow weather because of the Mediterranean warm breezes during winters. So, the climate is another inevitable reason to visit for winter sun. You can appreciate a lot of daylight throughout the winter season and there is almost no rain.

Estepona is easily reached by bus from Malaga. If you’re flying to Spain, pick up a hire car in Malaga and head down the coast, perhaps visiting Estepona as part of a wider Andalucia road trip.

Banish all thoughts of Madeira as a destination for older folk, the island is the perfect location for a family break at all times of the year and delivers the perfect mix of beach breaks and cultural activities for all ages. Madeira in winter is when the island really shines though.

Madeira sits 350 miles from the coast of Morocco and enjoys temperatures in double figures and delightful sunny days throughout the winter months. Start your visit in the capital city of Funchal where the islands Portuguese influences are on show in the old town. Take the cable car high above the streets for a spot of people watching, before exploring the historic tropical gardens.

Adventurous types can enjoy a spot of street tobogganing, a 100-year-old tradition on Madeira, where you are steered down steep hillside roads in a land sledge.

Out of the capital, head for the centre of the island where you can enjoy long treks in tropical surroundings along ancient paths, or explore the craggy north coast line near Seixal and Porto Moritz, where you can discover secluded inlets where the locals enjoy a dip in the sea.

Stop in at the impressive São Vicente caves formed hundreds of thousands of years ago by volcanic activity and end your day watching the sun setting over the sea at the breath taking Cabo Girão Skywalk, a glass platform perched on a cliff edge 580 metres above the crashing waves beneath your feet.

Known simply as ‘the Rock’, Gibraltar is a tiny six square kilometre British Overseas Territory at almost the southernmost tip of continental Europe), only pipped to the post by Tarifa, just down the coast in Spain – one of the the hottest European countries in January.

A literal point of contention for centuries, Gibraltar has, at various times in history, been under the control of the Moors, the Spanish, and now the British. Each of these cultures have left their mark, and give the peninsula a unique culture of its own.

At a comfortable 15°c in January, the weather is perfect for hiking around the rock and along the suspension bridge, or taking the cable car to the top, for fabulous views across to Morocco and North Africa. Alternatively, go subterrenean and explore over 150 caves and 50km of World War II tunnels, or visit the Barbary macaques that Gibraltar is famous for.

You’ll also be a stones throw from Spain, from where it’s easy to hop across to Tangier in Morocco and add another warm winter destination to your trip!

Ibiza is the perfect option for a winter break in Europ, located in the Balearic Islands off the east coast of Spain. The island is famous for its world-class nightclubs but during the winter season there is a different opportunity to see the beauty of the island. From mid-October to mid-May, the clubs shut for the winter, the crowds leave and Ibiza sinks into a peaceful winter.

There are 57 perfect beaches to explore in Ibiza, many boasting white sand and crystal clear waters making Ibiza perfect for families to visit in the low season. Even in the winter months, the beaches are great to walk along, and the sea stays relatively warm all year round.

The town of Santa Eulalia is thriving most of the year in comparison to the resorts of San Antonio and Playa d’en Bossa which are more geared towards the clubbing crowd. One of the best things to do during winter is walk to the nearby Es Cana along the coastal path where you’ll see stunning views and plenty of other beaches. Santa Eulalia marina is also lovely to take a walk around where you can spot super yachts, or watch the sunrise.

The best way to reach Ibiza is to fly to Ibiza airport where you can get a taxi to anywhere on the island. Regular ferries run to Ibiza from the mainland port of Denia in Spain as well as from the neighbouring islands of Majorca and Formentera.

Istanbul is one of the best places in Europe to take a winter sun city break. The city, in the on the European side of the country, is a delight to explore in the winter as it’s the off-season and you won’t find hordes of tourists at important historical sites. It is also the cheapest time to visit Istanbul, so a vacation here during winter is more pocket-friendly.

Because of it’s vibrant Turkish culture that extends to both European and Asian continents, spending a few days in Istanbul during winter is a delightful experience, with temperatures being pleasantly mild. You usually see the sun shining but once in a while, you may experience snow!

The best things to do in Istanbul include visiting the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Suleymaniye Mosque, Galata Tower, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar.

The one hidden gem that not many people know about is the Pierre Loti Hill. From here, you can enjoy the ultimate panoramic view of the Golden Horn, a major urban waterway and the primary inlet of the Bosphorus, shaped like a horn. Nothing’s better than sipping a hot Turkish coffee on a nice winter morning at the Pierre Loti Cafe and admiring the view.

If you feel like experiencing the buzzing party scene of Istanbul, then head to Istiklal Avenue in the Taksim Square area. My personal recommendation to you, however, would be to do the Bosphorus night cruise.

Sailing over the calm waters of the Bosphorus Strait, you get to enjoy the sights of the dazzling monuments at night. Feeling the winter breeze in your face, while sipping Turkish wine and admiring the sight of the spectacular Bosphorus Bridge, is an experience that you’ll cherish for life.

All in all, I can say that a winter vacation to Europe is incomplete without exploring Istanbul.

One of the best places for winter sun in Europe is the underrated Andalusian city of Jerez de la Frontera. In the shadow of Seville and the rising popularity of Cadiz, the city is mainly visited by Spanish which means you get an authentic local experience when visiting Jerez de la Frontera.

With more than 300 days a year of sunshine, it is perfect for a sunny city break and if you want an escape to the beach, it isn’t too far to the little vibrant beach town El Puerto de Santa Maria.

Jerez has a lot of great attractions, though. Being the sherry capital of Spain, you can enjoy numerous sherry tours and experience the famous bodegas to learn more about its sherry culture. Stroll around the charming streets getting lost between medieval buildings, visit the stunning cathedral which is a perfect fusion of Baroque, Neoclassical, and Gothic from the 17^thcentury.

The separately built bell tower stands on top of the minaret of an old mosque. Go on a guided tour of the Alcazar and stroll around Alameda vieja. If you like to visit astounding churches and convents, Jerez is the perfect place to be. With more than 20 of them spread around the city, it’s the perfect place to get lost in the streets discovering these astounding structures one by one.

Jerez de la Frontera has its own international airport and is well served by train and bus from both Cadiz and Seville.

The Balearic Island of Menorca is a nature-lovers paradise. Relatively unscathed by the overdevelopment that has scarred some parts of its bigger sibling Mallorca, Menorca, in contrast, remains magnificent in its natural beauty.

A joy to visit at any time of the year, in winter it benefits from a mild Mediterranean climate. Days linger in the mid-teens, but the bright, sunny skies and longer daylight hours than many of its European neighbours mean it’s the perfect place to escape the winter blues.

While your accommodation options will be more limited in the cooler months (but subsequently much cheaper), it’s a great time to take advantage of the pristine beaches that dot the island’s coast, many of which you can reach via the ancient Cami de Cavalls walking trail.

Other winter activities include warming up with a gin tasting at a local distillery, or marvelling at the island’s many megalithic sites that date back to the bronze age. Daily life in the towns still hums with quiet activity in winter and you’ll gain an untarnished view of what life in Menorca is really like, when not swarming with visitors.

Due to decreased demand in winter, direct flights are hard to come by. But you can reach the island via many of the main Spanish cities, or from Mallorca via plane or ferry.

Nice is a great destination to spend a winter sun break in Europe. Located on the French Riviera of southern France and an eight hour drive south from Paris, Nice is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea. Temperatures in Nice are always mild, making it a perfect destination for a French winter road trip.

Nice is a great place for sightseeing and I recommend spending at least 2 days in Nice to get a taste of what the city has to offer and visit the main sights. The city has beautiful Baroque architecture, interesting museums, and a delicious local cuisine.

The historical centre of old Nice is a wonderful place to get lost, especially in late autumn and winter when the crowds are gone and it feels a little more off the beaten path.

Walk the little streets and wide avenues of Nice but also try to see the city from other points of view: from the water, perhaps on a cruise, and from one of the hills of Provence that surround the city.

People with longer holidays won’t be disappointed. Nice is a great base for fantastic day trips along the French Riviera, to neighbouring Monte Carlo or to the hilltop villages inland. In most cases you will need a car but there is also a big variety of guided tours for people without four wheels.

Stay at the Quai Promenade apartment for its stylish decor, perfect location and exceptional facilities.

This Mediterranean island nation boasts more than 300 days of sunshine a year and has historic cities, beautiful beaches, ancient sites and perennial warm weather, making it one of the top winter sun holiday destinations in Europe.

The city of Paphos itself is a perfect place to visit in the wintertime as the daily high rarely dips below 16 degrees in January, the coldest month. There are also lots of things to see and do in Paphos that are sure to keep you entertained.

Arguably, if you’re interested in all of the historic sites and being outside, visiting Paphos in winter is a better bet as there are fewer tourist crowds and you won’t have to contend with the oppressive heat of summer.

Some of the best things to do in Paphos include wandering through the incredible Kato Paphos Archaeological Park and gazing in awe at the Hellenistic-era mosaics and countless other Greek ruins, visit the nearby Aphrodite’s Rock (Paphos claims to be the birthplace of the mythical goddess of love and beauty) or explore the fascinating Tomb of the Kings.

Paphos is an excellent place to visit any time of the year, but the winter provides an excellent time to soak up the sun and avoid the tourist crowds, making Cyprus one of the best destinations for hot holidays in January.

Portugal’s Algarve Coast is the perfect place to visit if you are looking for the winter sun in Europe. While it may not be swimming weather, it will be pleasant to be outside as in the balmy climate thanks to its westerly position on the continent.

The winter is the off-season in the Algarve, so hotels will be more affordable and places will be less crowded. Don’t worry there are still plenty of fun things to do in the area, and if you base yourself in Lagos, you’re within easy reach of the whole Algarve coast.

If you want to see the famous caves, it’s best to take a boat tour. There are also several small towns worth visiting. Silves has a castle and Loule has a famous Saturday Market. You can also go to a nature reserve like Ria Formosa Natural Park or do a coastal walk like the Seven Hanging Valleys hike.

If you like to golf, there are plenty of golf courses. Be sure to try some of the local seafood. There are also some wineries worth checking out. To get to the Algarve, you can fly into the airport in Faro.

Alternatively, it is about a 3 hour drive or bus ride from Lisbon. It will be easiest to explore the area if you have a car or even a campervan, the perfect way to see the Algarve in winter!

The historic city of Lecce located in the heel of Italy lies 150 km south of Bari, the region’s largest city and major port linking Italy with Greece and the Balkans.

Visitors driving from Rome some 600km and a six hour drive north west should not miss the opportunity to experience the unique cave city of Matera. Lecce is also a perfect base from which to explore other delightful Puglia towns such as Polignano a Mare, Alberobello and Otranto.

Winter in Lecce with its Mediterranean climate is a delight. These are the wetter months with a little more rainfall, but with an average temperature in the mid to high teens it is a perfect winter destination.

Known as the ‘Florence of the South’ due to the many stunning examples of Baroque architecture in its central pedestrianised old town Lecce is a city to experience, rather than do.

Walking its centuries old cobbled streets and narrow lanes you will be treated to some of Italy’s most fabulous and well preserved buildings. The remains of a 2,000 year old Roman Amphitheatre, the stunning Piazza del Duomo with its striking Cathedral and the Basilica di Santa Croce are just a few of the many highlights.

Once you’ve finished exploring, find a seat at one of Lecce’s charming restaurants and enjoy a glass of two or the local red wine and one of the region’s many traditional dishes.

When it comes to sunny destinations where you can escape the European winter, look no further than Portugal, possibly the warmest country in Europe in January. And not just Portugal’s famous coastal regions, either; the capital city of Lisbon also makes for a great winter sun destination if you’re looking for warm cities in January – or any time in winter!

Lisbon enjoys a year-round Mediterranean climate, with more than 290 days of sunshine per year. And while the city can get downright hot and uncomfortable during the summer months, average winter high temperatures generally stay in the late teens, making it a pleasant time to visit.

In the winter, Lisbon sees fewer tourists (and few cruise ships), but still has regular flight service from just about everywhere in Europe. And since you can enjoy all the must-dos Lisbon has to offer any time of year, winter really is a great time to visit.

Some of the top things to do in Lisbon include wandering the steep, historic streets in the Alfama neighbourhood; riding on historic trams and funiculars; catching a sunset from one of the city’s famous miradouros; listening to Fado music; and eating as many pastéis de nata as you can stomach.

If you manage to hit one of Lisbon’s non-sunny winter days, there are also some cool museums to visit like the National Azulejo Museum, the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (Jerónimos Monastery) in Belem to explore, and the Time Out Market to eat your way through.

If you’re thinking of heading to somewhere in Europe which has a bit of sun during the bleak winter months, Palermo is one place you should consider. The city isn’t the most visited destination in Europe, but there are lots of flights to this beautiful city on the island of Sicily from all over the continent.

Due to its southern location, the weather remains temperate throughout winter. It won’t be hot, but you won’t be freezing cold either. One reason to visit Palermo is to check out the architecture. The city is renowned for its impressive buildings, some of which date back thousands of years.

Quattro Canti is a unique intersection in the middle of the city, which has buildings with prominent statues on all four corners. You can visit La Zisa, a former Royal Palace, built in an Arabic style and check out the grand Cathedral in the middle of the city.

Perhaps the most intriguing place to visit in Palermo is the Capuchin Catacombs. Here you will find the mummified remains of friars and vicars from as far back as the 12th century.

Don’t forget about the famous food market held daily, where you can pick your fish or meat and have it prepared in the traditional way. My advice is to spend 3 days in Palermo to get the most from your trip. This will allow you to see the amazing buildings and head to the beach at nearby Mondello while seeing everything this beautiful Italian city has to offer!

Positano is one of Italy’s most iconic destinations, even in winter. Getting to the Amalfi Coast is easy by train from anywhere in Europe to Naples or Sorrento. From there, it’s a short ride to the Costiera Amalfitana. Even easier is to arrange private transport and leave the driving to the professionals.

Positano sits perched on the cliffs overlooking the deep turquoise blue Mediterranean Sea, and the colourful buildings appear set to tumble into the water. Winding through the village is a maze of narrow streets and alleyways that are a joy to explore.

The scene is one of Italy’s most famous landscapes to behold. While the water might be a bit too chilly for swimming, the winter sun is the big draw in colder months, and it’s even warm enough to get out on the water for a boat tour up and down the coast.

There are lots of fun things to do in Positano from dining in amazing restaurants to strolling the narrow streets for some serious shopping. Limoncello, ceramics, and handmade leather sandals (made while you wait) are some of the best items to look for.

Winter is also a good time of year to hike the hills above the Amalfi Coast. Whether you choose to walk the Path of the Gods, or hike the upper mule paths between the small towns, the warm sun is a welcome break from the winter blues, making this one of the best winter sun destinations in Europe.

Rhodes is one of the most stunning Greek Islands that is perfect for beach and culture lovers. Home to one of the historic Seven Wonders of the World, the Colossus, you will find an island rich in history and culture.

During the winter months, the destination is very off the beaten path, and you might not find many other tourists making it one of the best places to visit in January in Europe if you want to get away from it all.

Some of the top sights are the old town of Rhodes City, a UNESCO Heritage Site and the Acropolis in the cute village of Lindos.

Rhodes City is the largest city on the island, but with only 50,000 residents, it still has a small-town feel. Definitely add a visit to this city and the Citadel of Rhodes to your itinerary.

The fortification of the old town was built in the 14th century and is one of the best preserved medieval towns in the world.

Lindos on the other hand is beautiful small fishing village with narrow cobble-stone streets and alleys, white washed houses and an Acropolis perched on top of the hill. It is also known for its beautiful beaches and a favourite tourist spot – for a very good reason.

Stay at the Attiki Hotel for its traditional decor, sun terrace and location in the heart of Rhodes old town.

Rome is a wonderful destination to get a little bit of winter sun. It’s not so busy during the winter season, and the winters are extremely mild and it’s warm enough to stay outside and explore. If it does get a little cold, hop into a bar for a cafe.

Winter in Rome is the perfect time to explore all of the main sights, as the lines will be much shorter than the peak summer season. I highly recommend exploring Trastevere, a charming area of Rome that has plenty of restaurants and bars. It really comes alive during the wintertime, where you can cozy up in a wine bar for an aperitif.

On particularly sunny winter days, there are so many amazing parks and gardens to check out – some have ancient Roman aqueducts, others have insane views of the Colosseum!

To get to Rome, you can fly into one of two airports. Most European budget airlines will fly into Ciampino and most major carriers will fly into Fiumicino. From the airport, you can take a bus or train to Roma Termini.

Sao Miguel island in the Azores is the perfect destination for spending winter days in a place with a mild climate. The temperature is always warm and it offers lots of stuff to do when you’re there. It is usually sunny in the Azores during the winter, but there is also a chance also might be overcast with lots of rain. Thus, it is good to be prepared for this too.

While in Sao Miguel, it is best to hike to Boca do Inferno in Sete Cidades village, which is the most well-known spot in the Azores. Another spot you should not miss is the Lagoa do Fogo, the most beautiful lake in the Azores providing one of the best vistas over the Atlantic Ocean.

Furthermore, the lake provides a beautiful beach that is usually uninhabited and you can relax peacefully. If you prefer a more serene place which is less crowded, Lagoa do Congro surely offers that. It is a beautiful emerald lake set deep in the tropical forests of the island.

Going further into the island of Sao Miguel, it is best to check out the hot springs of the island. They are for sure a place you should visit in the winter. Most of the thermal pools on the island are around 30-40 degrees, which is quite normal. Some of the most well-known thermal pools are the Dona Beija and Terra Nostra.

However, if you prefer a more serene place to take a dip in and relax, then you should head to Caldeira Velha. It is close to the hiking trail for Salto do Cabrito and is surrounded by a lush tropical forest.

Last but not least, make sure to check the Gorreana Tea Factory in the north of the island and try the nicest green and black tea Then, make sure to walk around the plantation and take a few pictures of the breathtaking landscapes!

Stay at Casa das Cinco Apartments for their stunning seafront location, cool decor and outdoor pool.

If you’re looking for a beautiful place to enjoy the winter sun, look no further than Seville ⁠- one of the hottest cities in Europe! Located in the stunning region of Andalucia, Seville’s weather averages at a pleasant 11°c – 17°c in the winter months, and the city is known to be sunny all year round. In fact, it only has about 80 days of rain per year!

You can do a lot in Seville in three days, which is typically enough to cover all the important places in town. Start your trip at Plaza de España, a magnificent square with gorgeous architecture and a canal in the middle. It’s an awesome place for photography and relaxation!

From there, you can take a walk to the colourful Barrio Santa Cruz for some delicious tapas, and then head over to Casa de Pilatos, a beautiful civil palace. Not far from there is the unique contemporary structure of the Metropol Parasol, and the famous restaurant El Rinconcillo (it’s a must-try!).

Some of the other unmissable spots in Seville are the Royal Alcázar, the Cathedral, the Giralda Tower, and the best tapas bar in town, Espacio Eslava. I also highly recommend watching a flamenco show during your time there!

Getting to Seville is very easy. You can either fly into Seville Airport or take a high-speed train if you’re coming from other Spanish cities such as Barcelona, Granada, Cordoba, or Madrid.

Stay at Hotel Casa del Poeta for its city center location, beautifully renovated rooms and regular live music.

Average Rainy Days in January: 9 days

The charming hilltop town of Taormina is one of the best destinations in Europe for winter sun. Taormina is located in view of Mount Etna, along the east coast of Sicily. In Taormina you’ll discover dramatic cliffs sweeping to the sea below and a picturesque old gate to enter the medieval walls of the city.

There are so many things to do in Taormina but the biggest draw is the surrounding beaches. Taormina’s most incredible beach is Isola Bella, a nature reserve just off the coastline. Reaching Isola Bella requires hiking down a footpath but you can also take a bus or buy a ticket for the funicular.

Once you reach the shoreline you can set up your blanket or rent a sun chair on the shore. In order to reach the island and nature reserve you will have to walk along a sandbar. Depending on the time of day, you may have to wade into the water because the sand bar is submerged during high tide.

When in Taormina, make a trip to the gorges of Alcantara. They are a natural canyon carved into black lava flows. The tallest are 50m tall tall and you can wade into the cold water running through the canyon.

Other attractions include the Teatro Antico di Taormina, an ancient Greco-Roman theatre. It’s still in use today and a great place for a winter sunset.

While it’s great all year long, the winter in Taormina is full of sun and things to do without the crowds.

Stay at the Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo for the iconic Mount Etna view, five star luxury and charming service.

Tarifa is probably one of the best places to travel to in winter. With mild temperatures in the cold months and gorgeous beaches, Tarifa is known as the capital of windsurfing and kite surfing in Spain. Getting to Tarifa is very easy, no matter which southern Spanish airport you use. The closest airport is in Gibraltar, with Malaga and Jerez following.

Tarifa is a lovely small town, with a very laid-back character and a rural atmosphere. You won’t find any big chains here, just small businesses run by locals.

In winter, even if it may not be warm enough to sunbathe, you can still take advantage of the sunny weather and learn how to windsurf or kite surf. There are over 60 schools which can teach you how to tackle waves on a board, and have fun doing acrobatic tricks in the air.

Tarifa is one of the windiest places in Spain because of its location, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean and this is why water sports lovers come here year round. You can actually walk on on the island bridge that divides the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean and notice how the color changes from one side to another.

Tarifa is also the most Southern point of continental Europe making it a great place to spend time in a campervan over winter.

Stay at Hotel Tarifa Lances for its spa and pools, funky vibe and extensive facilities.

Wondering where is hot in January in Europe? If you’re looking for the warmest place in Europe in January (or December or February even!) then the Canary Islands are the best of the hot winter holiday destinations in Europe, averaging temperatures in the high teens to low twenties.

A large archipelago off the north-west coast of Africa, the Canaries are rugged volcanic isles. The best know islands are Tenerife (the largest), Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa.

The Canary Island seas are temperate enough to swim in all year round, the winter sunshine hours longer than most of Europe and they have less rainfall than Spain and Portugal. The islands can be windy in the winter months, but if you enjoy sailing, wind-surfing and kiting, then so much the better!

Visit Tenerife for a lively atmosphere and great night life. Gran Canaria is best for hiking, national parks and huge beaches, whilst Lanzarote is ideal for a family holiday, with unique volcanic landscapes and natural wonders, typified in the imposing and dramatic Timanfaya National Park.

Head for Fuerterventura if you’re looking for the best wind and water sports, and La Palma for fabulous snorkelling and local wildlife. La Gomera is a hidden gem and the most authentic of the larger islands and perfect for getting away from it all.

Stay at Hotel Hacienda del Conde for its world-class service, resort vibe and fantastic range of facilities.

Famous for their black sandy beaches, The Canaries are a staple of European winter holidays and is the warmest place in Europe in winter, in fact they offer the best winter sun in Europe! | Playa del Duque, Tenerife

The world-famous song ‘Valencia’ by Padilla goes a little something like this: Valencia is the land of flowers, light and love… He didn’t fall short because Valencia has almost everything.

From the outside, Valencia is undoubtedly one of the most charming destinations of eastern Spain, and one of the most beautiful cities of the entire Spanish geography. You can catch a suntan on its idyllic beaches, visit the Arts and Sciences Museum, tour the rice paddies of the Albufera, walk among sharks in the Oceanografic, feel like royalty at Museum of the Marqués de Dos Aguas and take a stroll through its streets while you delight yourself with its stunning architecture.

But what’s inside is what matters, and for you to fall in love with everything this city has to offer. Try a tasty paella by the Mediterranean and get lost in the neighbourhood of El Carmen, buy a horchata drink from a traditional artisan, shop for local produce in the Central Market, party at the Umbracle, enjoy its traditional festivities, the Fallas Festival, and become a hipster for a day in Ruzafa.

We stand corrected, Valencia has everything! Want to come and visit?

If you want to get away and enjoy some sun in winter, fly to sunny Malta. The temperatures and warm, and while you may not want to swim (though some will) it’s still worth it to visit the beaches just to enjoy walking on them.

In the winter, you can also enjoy the highlights of Valletta, Malta’s capital, including going on a city tour and visiting St. John’s Co-Cathedral.

The best part of visiting Malta in the off-season is getting to tour popular spots like Dwerja and Mdina without the typical crowds. This means you can visit some of Malta’s best photography spots without competing with throngs of tourists.

Even sunny Gozo, which isn’t as busy as Malta, is still lovely when things are a bit more closed down. Book your accommodation early and find out what will be open near you since restaurants might be closed in the off season.

Getting to Malta is relatively easy since budget carriers offer discounted airfares. You can also visit by taking a ferry from Sicily, which is handy if you want to keep your own car with you during your trip. Driving is one of the best ways to get around Malta, especially if you want to travel between Malta and Gozo.

Stay at the The Embassy Valletta Hotel for its rooftop pool, decadent bathrooms and city centre location.

The Aegean region of Turkey where Fethiye is located is actually further west than Istanbul and located close to the Greek islands, making it a great mid-haul winter sun destination.

But, don’t come to Fethiye with the mistaken view that it will be hot, hot, hot. The further east you go through Europe, the more unpredictable the weather becomes. It never snows in Fethiye, although you’ll see it on the peaks of nearby Babadag Mountain, but it can be rainy and chilly, although this does come and go, so you’re unlikely to face a protracted spell of poor weather,

Fethiye is a wonderful destination if you like mooching around interesting old towns, visiting ruins and grabbing the odd beach day, or boat trip, when weather allows. Nearby is good hiking, ancient ruins and the fabulous beach at Oludeniz, a small town to the east, where you can also go paragliding.

Stay at Liberty Fabay for its beachfront location, fantastic uber all-inclusive offer and in-house entertainment.

The jewel in Morocco’s crown, Marrakech is a magical jumble of tradition and modernity and a wonderful place for a city break in January. The medina is a feast for the senses and will leave you reeling as you struggle to comprehend the different smells, sounds and tastes that are unique to Morocco’s ancient walled quarters.

Known as the Red City, for its beaten clay buildings and ramparts, Marrakech is a fantastic city for a January city break. Underlying what feels like pandemonium in the souks is a laid-back vibe and a growing contemporary scene with lots on offer for every type of visitor.

You can even visit the Sahara Desert from Marrakech, although you’ll need a minimum of three days to get to the Sahara, so make sure to factor this in if seeing the vast rose coloured sand dunes and experiencing the desert is high on your list!

Stay at Riad Al Rimal for its superb medina location, hot-tub, pool and hamman, and chic decor.

Officially the Republic of Cabo Verde, Cape Verde is an archipelago and island country in the central Atlantic Ocean, consisting of ten volcanic islands. Cape Verde is considered part of the African continent, but has close ties to Europe through its history as a colony of Portugal from the initial settlement of the islands in 1462 until the independence of Cape Verde in 1975.

It’s a perfect spot for a winter sun holiday from Europe, offering travellers a whopping eleven daily sunshine hours along with wonderful hospitality in a landscape of mountains, blue seas dotted with islands and and windswept beaches.

Sal is the most popular island and our top mid-haul destination for January sun, and the main town of Santa Maria is a beach lovers paradise. With stunning clear turquoise waters great for snorkelling, and powdery white sandy beaches, relaxing in the heat will be easy! Boa Vista is another similar island, also popular with travellers.

The Rea Sea resorts of Egypt are the best places for guaranteed January sunshine, certainly warm enough for sea swimming and snorkelling – and none more so than Sharm El Sheikh, the original and arguably the best resort in this mid-haul destination.

Known for its sheltered sandy beaches, clear waters and coral reefs, this is a great destination if you love being active whilst grabbing a bit of beach time.

Diving is the big activity here, and many people come to learn. If you’re not a diver, then there are also amazing snorkelling spots in the clear waters, and places like Ras Mohammas National Park, Egypt’s premier location for marine life. You can get a boat trip there, jump in and snorkel or dive the day away!

Feeling energetic? A couple of hours drive north is Mount Sinai, located deep in the South Sinai Desert. You can hike to the top of this holy mountain, where, according to the Bible’s Old Testament, God handed down the ten commandments to Moses.

You can even take a two day trip from Sharm to Cairo and Luxor, although it does involve getting on another plane!

10 Warmest Places in Europe in Winter

Tenerife is one of the best destinations for a warm winter holiday in Europe

Winter in Europe usually means low temperatures and snow, depending on the country that you’re planning to visit.

However, if you’re not a fan of snow and cold winter weather, there are still a few places in Europe where the temperatures are mild and the weather allows for visitors to enjoy some much-needed winter sun.

Winter sun in Europe: 10 hottest places and countries in Europe in winter

We know that some people, ourselves included, are desperately looking for a bit of warm winter weather somewhere in Europe. And if that place happens to be somewhere near the beach or the sea, that is even better!

There are a few places where you can travel if you want to find the best winter weather in Europe and we have several recommendations, depending on how you plan to spend your time: relaxing on the beach, hiking or sightseeing and discovering places full of history.

So, this is our list of recommendations for the sunniest places in Europe in winter and also the best winter beaches in Europe, where you can sunbathe and even swim. Remember that UV protection is still necessary even when sunbathing in winter, so don’t forget about protecting your skin!

The Canary Islands – the hottest place to visit in Europe in winter, from December to February

The Canary Islands have one of the best climates in the world and here you can enjoy a day on the beach and a swim in the ocean at any time of the year. The Canary Islands are part of Spain, so you can travel here just as you would to any other part of Spain.

1. Tenerife, Canary Islands

A photo from the north of Tenerife in December at Playa de las Teresitas

If you haven’t been visited any of Canaries and you don’t have a favorite yet, we would recommend choosing Tenerife or Gran Canaria as the best places for a winter break.

The south of Tenerife is considerably hotter and sunnier than the north during the winter season, so for a warm holiday, we recommend staying around the areas of Los Cristianos, Playa de Las Americas, Costa Adeje up to Puerto Santiago and Los Gigantes.

Tenerife South has a warmer climate compared to the north of the island, which is why most of the tourist resorts are concentrated here. Temperatures still rise above 20°C on most days and you can see more photos of Tenerife in December, to get a better sense of how the weather usually is.

Fuerteventura, Canary Islands

Explore the magical sand dunes of Fuerteventura

The Canary Islands are located very close to the coast of Morocco, with Fuerteventura being the closest island to the African continent.

Winters in Fuerteventura are hot enough to allow for sunbathing and swimming in the ocean, although some people might find the ocean a bit too cold…. that’s why many places have heated pools during the winter months!

Corralejo and Caleta de Fuste are the most popular resorts in Fuerteventura, but the south part of the island has some incredible beaches and it sometimes gets a bit more sun during the winter months, so you could also consider booking a holiday to Costa Calma or Morro Jable.

Papagayo beach is the most famous beach in Lanzarote

Winter is considered as high season in the Canary Islands, due to the fact that many people from the north of Europe and the UK come here to live for a few months between December and March or April, enjoying the winter sun and hot temperatures of the Canaries.

Except for the very north of Lanzarote and the higher areas like Haria, all of Lanzarote’s resorts enjoy beautiful weather in winter, perfect for sunbathing most of the time. Playa Blanca would be our recommendation for winter as it gets less wind compared to the other resorts, but our all-time favorite resort in Lanzarote is Puerto del Carmen, due to the vibrant atmosphere and nightlife.

The south of Gran Canaria is probably the hottest place in Europe from December, to January and February

If you want to know more about the weather in the archipelago, you can read our article about the warmest Canary Island, but keep in mind that all the islands enjoy great weather and the differences are not huge, so you should choose in accordance with what you’d like to do and see during your time spent there.

The south of Gran Canaria is definitely hotter than the north, so if winter sun is what’s you’re after, you should look for accommodation around the areas of Maspalomas and Puerto Rico, instead of Las Palmas and the mountainous regions.

Although the Canary Islands are the hottest place to visit in Europe in winter, you can still get the odd rainy days or even a few days of calima, a phenomenon where hot sand dust comes from the Sahara Desert and stays suspended in the air (the days can be very hot during the calima and it can be hard to breathe, due to the sand in the air).

Depending on what activities you prefer during a holiday, you can look here and decide which Canary Island you should visit.

5. Malaga, Spain

Alcazaba de Malaga on a sunny winter’s day

The south of Spain enjoys sunny and beautiful weather all year round, with temperatures still reaching 18°C to 20°C in December in Malaga.

Although it may not be warm enough to lounge on the beach or swim, it’s still warm enough to walk around without freezing to death, while still enjoying outdoor dining when the sun is out.

Visiting Malaga during winter means fewer tourists compared to the summer months, better prices for flights and accommodation and less crowded attractions. You could rent a car and do a tour of the region, hitting Seville, Cordoba, Cadiz, Ronda, and even Gibraltar.

Out of all the winter months in Malaga, February seems to be the best choice, with the highest average high temperature of 17.7°C (63.9 °F) and only 60 mm of rain, spread over the course of 5 days. However, there are no big differences in terms of temperatures, but December tends to get the most rain, up to 100 mm for the entire month.

Limassol, Cyprus

Limassol, Cyprus

Cyprus has a subtropical climate, which means mild winters on the coast, although it is possible to see some snowfalls in the Troodos Mountains.

In the daytime, temperatures can still reach 19°C – 20°C in December and even in January and February, which means that you can leave your thick coat at home and just bring a light jacket for the evenings.

Madeira is a Portuguese archipelago situated in the Atlantic Ocean, just 250 miles north of Tenerife.

Madeira has a Mediterranean climate, although the weather can differ from one island to another and even from one part of the island to the other, just like in the Canary Islands.

In the mountains of Madeira, you can expect snow during the winter months and also rain, which mostly falls between October and April.

Out of all the destinations in our article, Madeira is the one that gets the most rain in December, with around 13 wet days per month.

Even so, Madeira still is one of the best and warmest tourist destinations in Europe in winter, because temperatures still rise above 20°C during the day (especially in December), which means you’ll be able to walk around wearing just a T-shirt.

The best time to visit Madeira during winter is for New Year’s Eve when the island hosts the largest fireworks show in the world, an event which you should see at least once in your lifetime.

Do you want a vacation and a sea of vivid impressions? Let’s talk about the most interesting winter holiday destinations.

December

European holidays

December is the time of Christmas fairy tale and beautiful fairs. Isn’t this a reason to visit cities whose streets are buried in the warm lights of garlands, filled with spicy aromas of mulled wine and pastries, where there is a light atmosphere of fun and celebration.

New Year’s fairs are held in European capitals at the beginning of winter. The largest and most beautiful are in Prague, Munich, Cologne, Paris and Copenhagen. However, here you can have fun not only with shopping and acquaintance with national delicacies. There are a lot of routes and interesting places for excursions to the choice of travelers. Of the minuses, it is worth noting only the prices for accommodation and entertainment: they grow with the onset of the festive period and an increase in the flow of tourists.

Ski holidays

The second obligatory point of winter tourism is ski holidays. In search of inexpensive options, you should look into the Bulgarian Bansko. Skiing lessons, equipment rental and a daily lift pass will cost 30 euros per person. Approximately the same prices apply in the ski resort of Harrachov in the Czech Republic.

For experienced skiers and snowboarders – a direct route to steep slopes designed for extreme sports enthusiasts. For example, in Chamonix in France, where 100 tracks with a total length of more than two hundred kilometers have been built. The infrastructure here is also at the highest level, as is the ski track.

Sea voyage

If you often look at photos of exotic islands while thinking about a long-awaited vacation, we tell you where to relax at sea in winter. The most popular destinations in December are Phuket and Sri Lanka. At the resorts of Thailand, tourists are waiting for a first-class all-inclusive vacation, water activities and, of course, a hot summer. Here you will also find magnificent landscapes, which are only worth the islands of Phi Phi in the province of Krabi!

January

The second half of January is a great time for sightseeing tours to Europe and for a trip to the sea shores. The flow of tourists at this time is minimal, and accommodation prices are declining after the Christmas boom.

Tours to Europe

A winter trip to Europe makes it easy to combine skiing and sightseeing holidays. To do this, just go to Vienna – the capital of Austria, full of sights and surrounded by mountain slopes (the nearest ski resorts from the city are about an hour away). A couple of days for such an intense tour is unlikely to be enough, so plan your trip for at least a week.

Shopping lovers must visit France. In January, sales are held in Paris, as well as a fashion week that will not leave stylish people indifferent. There are locations in Paris for those with a sweet tooth (and there are a lot of them here!). The most famous are the boutiques of Pierre Herme and the confectionery house Ladurée. But also in any confectionery. which has not yet managed to acquire a big name, will have something to treat and please yourself.

Snow activities

Looking for a winter destination for skiing is better in Eastern Europe. The prices at the resorts here are lower than in the western regions, and the service is not inferior. For example, it is worth taking a closer look at the town of Platak in Slovakia, Pamporovo in Bulgaria or Zakopane in Poland.

An excellent place for a skiing debut is Strbske Pleso in Slovakia. There are trails for beginners, as well as slalom slopes and jumps for extreme sports. A weekly ski pass and equipment rental for an adult will cost 200 euros. Price for accommodation per day – 50 – 70 euros.

Beach and island holidays

In order to plunge into the gentle summer in the middle of winter, it is worth considering popular beach destinations where going on vacation in winter will be cheaper than in the warm season. In January, hot weather stays in Goa: the air around the beaches warms up to + 30 ° C, and the water – up to + 26 ° C. In addition to swimming in the sea, it is worth adding to the list of entertainment a visit to the water park, butterfly exhibitions and an excursion to the reserve of exotic flora and fauna.

The central beaches in Goa are distinguished by gentle slopes, and the infrastructure takes into account the wishes of not only adults, but also young tourists. Therefore, you can safely go here even with small children. While the parents are busy with their own affairs, the kids will be entertained by animators and nannies.

The air temperature in Thailand in January fluctuates around +28°С, and the water in the sea is warmed up to +27°С. Neither adults nor children will be bored here. It offers tourists not only diving, snorkeling and surfing, but also elephant riding, swimming with dolphins. Thai water parks are also known all over the world, where you should definitely go with the whole family.

February

In cold February, it is important not only to relax, but also to strengthen the immune system after a long winter, so it is better to spend holidays at health resorts.

We are going to Europe

The Czech Republic and its Karlovy Vary is an ideal place if you are wondering where to go in winter to relax and improve your health. The resort with 12 mineral springs invites you to therapeutic and spa treatments. And in your free time, it is worth visiting the Peter and Paul Church and the observation tower “Diana”.

Skiing

When looking for ski tours, pay attention to … Turkish resorts! For example, on Uludag (aka Big Mountain). 10 green marked trails make the town an ideal place to learn snowboarding. There are also more difficult descents, as well as one extreme “black” track. The price of a ski pass for a day starts from 15 euros.

The Palandoken complex also offers a good service, where, in addition to first-class ski tracks and training camps, there are hotels of different levels of comfort, restaurants, spa centers and discos.

When deciding which route to choose, it is necessary to take into account the age of the child: younger students still dream of meeting Santa Claus, and high school students want to sunbathe under the tropical sun. A good choice for a warm holiday would be Cuba, Thailand, India. The kids will meet the real Santa Claus in Veliky Ustyug, their Santa Claus will be in the capital of Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland.

Why you should go: here you can relax, enjoy the fresh air and relative warmth, and if you wish, go skiing in Krasnaya Polyana.

What to do: The main action takes place in the port, on the area of the South Pier. Fireworks rise into the sky no worse than those at the Olympics.

Chasing the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights can be seen from several locations in Russia, but one of the most popular destinations is the Murmansk region. Firstly, it is convenient to get there, and secondly, there are more gentle weather conditions (in some places where you can see the northern lights, the temperature in the winter months can reach -45 ° C). There are several options for where to go for the New Year: Polyarny, Teriberka, Vidyaevo, Pechenga. It is best to clarify this issue with the agencies that plan special tours – they will select a convenient program and suggest the dates when you will surely catch this breathtaking natural phenomenon.

Kola Peninsula

If you decide to celebrate the New Year in the Murmansk region, then feel free to book a tour to the Kola Peninsula. There you can not only admire the northern lights, but also go on a snowmobile safari, go on a jeep or sleigh tour, go skiing and just walk through the picturesque places and get acquainted with the local culture.

Aurora Village Dome Hotel

Aurora Village is a small and very cozy eco-hotel with igloo-shaped houses, from where you can watch the northern lights without leaving your room! The hotel is located in a secluded area at 49km from Murmansk – representatives immediately warn that the cellular connection there is very weak, so you are provided with a complete digital detox. You definitely won’t be bored: there is a cafe, an amusement park, a Japanese furaco water bath, as well as various winter activities – fishing, snowmobiling, skiing and snowshoeing.

Walks in the Leningrad Region

Many people like to go to St. Petersburg for the New Year holidays, but don’t forget that the Leningrad Region also has something to see. At least take a look at Peterhof – in winter, without crowds of visitors and strewn with white snow, it looks completely special. And if you have already visited all the main tourist sites, then here are a couple more ideas for your itinerary.

Maryino Manor

The history of Maryino Manor dates back to 1811, when the wife of Count Pavel Stroganov Sophia ordered to build “a solemn palace in the village of Andrianovo”. In 2008, the estate passed to the current owner Galina Stepanova, who carried out a large-scale reconstruction of the main building and territory (work is still ongoing). With her help, the estate became the first object of historical heritage in the Leningrad region, restored by a private individual. There you can not only admire the interiors and plunge into the two-hundred-year history of Maryino, but also take a walk in the spacious English garden.

Tochka Na Karta Hotel

An ideal place for a winter escape is the Tochka Na Karta hotel designed by Rhizome. Minimalist architecture, pure nature, panoramic windows and a restaurant with local cuisine – it will be good for a young couple, and a family with children, and you can just relax and “reboot” alone. By the way, this year the new “Points on the Map” pavilion won the AD Design Award 2020 in the “Hotels” nomination – another reason to visit it.

Shelepin’s Dacha

Built in 1904, Shelepin’s Dacha is a real architectural example of northern Art Nouveau style. The facade of the building is decorated with carved architraves and elements of Russian wooden architecture, while the interiors are decorated in a classic style and filled with antique furniture and decor. Now the dacha is located on the territory of the Skandinavia country club (next to the dacha of the merchant Likhachev), so anyone can stay in it: the house has eight rooms, most of which overlook the Gulf of Finland.

Ilya Repin’s Estate Museum

Ilya Repin acquired the Penaty estate in 1899 and took care of its architecture and design himself. There were really legendary guests there: Gorky, Chukovsky, Mayakovsky, Yesenin, Kuprin and many others. Now the Penates work as a museum: visitors can see the entrance hall, the dining room, the artist’s office and the living room, which served as Repin’s first workshop (two more are located on the second floor of the house). And of course, everyone can take a walk in the manor park.

Admire the swan lake in Altai

The ice-free lake Svetloe (Swan) in the Sovetsky district is a wintering place for wild whooper swans and 2000 wild ducks of various species and is not in vain considered an amazing natural monument. The purest water in the lake does not freeze even at temperatures below -35 °C, so even rare species of birds can be found there in winter. You can visit Swan Lake only by appointment.

Go skiing in Krasnaya Polyana

Rosa Khutor ski resort in Krasnaya Polyana became popular with tourists even before the borders were closed. And it is no coincidence, because the resort is designed in the best traditions of European ski resorts: cozy hotels, cafes and a large number of entertainments for guests of all ages. There are 28 cable cars on the slope, and the peak of the resort is at an altitude of 2509 m above sea level.

Rixos Krasnaya Polyana

Rixos Krasnaya Polyana is located high in the Caucasus Mountains in the village of Estosadok, just 100 meters from the ski lift. From the spa to in-house ski and snowboard coaches, everything is there to ensure a comfortable stay for guests. Rixos Royal Spa, by the way, is considered one of the largest in the resort: the complex occupies a separate two-story building. And of course, several restaurants: classic, with Turkish cuisine and Wine House, where the emphasis is on the wine list.

Book a room

Restaurant Vysota 2320

The restaurant with the speaking name Vysota 2320 rises to 2320 m above sea level. The establishment serves local Black Sea and classic European cuisine, and dishes are most often prepared from local ingredients (something is even harvested right on the slopes). But the main feature of the restaurant is, of course, an incredible view of the Caucasus Range, Mount Aibga and the Black Sea.

Conquer Kamchatka volcanoes and geysers

Kamchatka is a place where you can celebrate the New Year in a rather unusual way. The Valley of Geysers is included in the list of seven wonders of Russia and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – it is one of the largest geyser fields in the world, spread over 6 km². In winter, there are fewer people who want to go to the Valley of Geysers, which makes excursions cheaper – at the same time, this miracle of nature looks no less exciting than in the warm season. You can get there by helicopter by ordering a special tour – they just don’t let you into the territory of the facility. Of course, in addition to traveling to the Valley, there are places to go in Kamchatka: take a walk along the Pacific coast, ride a dog sled and learn more about the indigenous peoples of the region.

Enjoy nature in Dombai

If people go to Krasnaya Polyana for modern and fashionable service, then they go to the ski resorts of Dombai primarily for beautiful nature and wide slopes. It is important to understand that it is better to go there mainly for ski holidays, since this is still the main winter activity of the resort. If you haven’t skied yet, then the comfortable slopes of Dombay are a great place to start! But for lovers of hiking there will also be something to do: you can take a walk to the gorges of Dombay-Ulgen or Gonachkhir, look into the Teberdinsky Reserve and reach the Devil’s Mill canyon.

Plunge into a winter fairy tale in Kaliningrad

Did you miss the winter holidays in Europe, but still plan to celebrate the New Year in Russia? Head to Kaliningrad – its old German architecture looks absolutely magical there in winter! The climate is quite mild, so even in the cold season you can walk for a long time and look at the city, sometimes running for hot chocolate in cozy cafes. Walk through the historical center or go to the region – we have a whole guide with ideas of where to go in Kaliningrad.

Mercure Hotel

Ira and Olya Sundukovs were inspired by the fairy tale “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” (its author, Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, from Kaliningrad) – the artist Igor Skaletsky even depicted heroes from the work on the walls. The atmosphere in the rooms is more relaxed than in the lobby: there, the designers tried to recreate the peaceful atmosphere of the Old Town, and in order not to be bored, they diluted the delicate interior with bright details.

Restaurant of modern cuisine DA in Kaliningrad

Svetlana Vlasenko was responsible for the interiors of DA, for whom this project became special: for the first time she acted not only as a designer, but also became a co-founder of the restaurant. The space is bright and modern, but not cold thanks to natural linen tablecloths, deep leather sofas and soft ocher cushions, so that visitors can comfortably spend hours at a leisurely dinner with friends. The menu includes familiar dishes of Russian cuisine: dumplings, Olivier salad, fish soup, but in a modern interpretation.

Nordic Spa

A small spa complex in Yantarny with Scandinavian saunas and wood-fired hot tubs. For these New Year holidays, Nordic Spa offers to rent the whole complex (with a company of up to 15 people) – you can gather with family or friends and arrange a digital detox for at least a couple of hours. Looking from the panoramic windows in the rest room to the Baltic, you can forget that you are in Russia.

To see the impressive natural panoramas of Karelia

It is better to celebrate the New Year in Karelia in a big company. And then go with the group on a tour of the main attractions, which include the most beautiful places in the region: the marble canyon of Ruskeala, the ethno-cultural monument of northern wooden architecture Kivach, Petrozavodsk and much more. Bonus of traveling with a group: no need to worry about complex logistics while traveling and booking accommodation. Be sure to read our guide before your trip.

Winter’s Dacha

Lake Ladoga full of fish, volcanic rocks and endless coniferous forests – such a harsh northern landscape surrounds those who come to the Karelian Cape Taruniemi in the park -Hotel “Dacha Winter”. The name of the complex was given by the country house of Dr. Gustav Winter, a brilliant surgeon and a landmark figure for these places, who in his spare time was enthusiastically engaged in landscape architecture and loved countryside recreation with outdoor games, picnics and boat trips.

Go skating on the clear ice of Baikal

You will always have time to celebrate the New Year at the table, but skating on Baikal in the evening is a real adventure. Even if you have already been here, a completely different landscape awaits you in winter: nature freezes, the lake turns into glass, so you can comfortably walk and explore it. Don’t forget to visit Olkhon Island and try the main local dishes – smoked omul and golomyanka.

Olkhoniya coffee house and Port-Olkhon restaurant

The place where the restaurant and coffee house are located used to belong to the Malomorsky fish factory. The enterprise had the only berth for ships on the island, so they decided to name the restaurant Port-Olkhon. It was placed in a new building with a free layout, but the Olkhonia coffee house is located in one of the former administrative buildings of the plant. This building was erected from a powerful larch carriage according to the old method – with moss insulation of the log house.

Go on a gastronomic journey to Kazan

There is definitely something to see in Kazan – and we showed it all in our guide. But it is also worth trying dozens of national dishes here. For a substantial dinner or lunch, head to the Chirem restaurant, where you will be served echpochmaks (dough triangles) with various fillings, vak-belish (chicken pie), kystybay with potatoes and, of course, an incredible amount of meat that you can’t refuse – kazylyk, horse fat, horse meat steak and kyzdyrma (veal) with spicy spices. The establishment also serves the traditional “groom’s soup” with small dumplings – it is believed that the bride prepares it for the family of the future spouse.

If you want to dine in a beautiful setting, we suggest you look into the new Branch restaurant designed by the Artists Collaboration studio, whose designers tried to create a sophisticated and relaxed atmosphere in the interior , reminiscent of the atmosphere of noisy summer terraces in Montenegro. For the main course, be sure to order something from the wine list, which has 120 positions.
