Spain weather

Spain's weather is its biggest selling point. Its south, east and central regions experience hot summers, with average temperatures in the late 20s and early 30s. If you've already started build up a sweat reading this you can always escape to the north, which sees the Atlantic Ocean keep temperatures lower. The winter climate in Spain is generally mild; although in the central plains like Madrid average temperatures can drop quite low, so wrap up warm. And if you are still in doubt as to the best time to go then head to the Canary Islands where you can be assured of summer weather all year round.
