What each month actually feels like
- April: Fresh, moderate crowds, occasional rain. Feria week in Seville is stunning but pricey.
- May: The sweet spot for Madrid, Andalusia, and Catalonia. Book 14+ months out.
- June: Prime season. Long days, warm evenings, best beach venues.
- September: Locals' favorite. Warm sea, cooler afternoons, best light for photography.
- October: Great for Andalusia. Cooler in northern Spain. Fewer tourists.
- November–March: Off-season. Big discounts (20–35%) but risk of rain, cold, and short daylight.
