It may be the weather that draws people to Valencia in May! The city of Valencia is a great place to visit, or to live, no matter what time of the year, but as we have said many times before, it is important to recognise that Spain is not always hot and sunny and it has seasons too! Valencia experiences some quite extremes of temperatures, and the month of May is probably a fine example of this. As I write this, it is raining, with an ambient temperature of around 18 degrees, which is the mean average for

The city of Malaga in southern Spain is somewhere where more or less everyone has heard of, everyone has either been on holiday there or they know someone who has. This amazing city on the Costa del sol has become synonymous with the Spanish holiday ideal of sun, fun, sea and sandy beaches, but as we have hopefully, and helpfully, pointed out before, the weather here is not always hot and sunny, and at some points in the year, like April, for example, it can have it’s far share of rain, so when is the best time to visit and

April is an interesting month in Spain’s calendar, with the winter firmly out of the way, and the increasing intensity and strength of the glorious Spanish sun indicating summer is near, but not quite here yet, meaning that as a visitor to Spain, you can go out and enjoy each day to the full, without being burnt to a crisp! Many people think of Spain’s typical weather as lazy and hazy days under the sun but this vast and diverse European country certainly has its fair share of inclement weather too.

Every year millions of northern Europeans enjoy their holidays in Spain, but as we have said before, Spain is not always hot and sunny, although in comparison to other European states, (My home country of England being a prime example), Spain has around 300 days of sunshine each year. Most people I have met over the years soundly agree that they prefer the sun to the rain, however the sun in Spain can become quite fierce during the summer months, so if you are a sun seeker, why not consider coming to Spain in March? March can be an ideal

January in Spain can be very different than in your home country but whilst most people visit Spain during the hot months of July and August, there are so many reasons to come and spend time here during January.

Piste off with your regular ski resort? Then come and ski in Spain! For the avid skier, Spain never seems to list very highly on places to catch the best snow. That’s probably because the Spanish want to keep the secret of where to ski in Spain to themselves!

Where else can your ski in fresh, crisp snow in the morning, and then drive down the mountain in little over and hour
