When to go to Northern Spain?

Contrary to popular belief, the climate of northern Spain lends itself to holidays all year round. Although the winters are certainly not as warm as in the rest of the country, don’t think that northern Spain is being battered by rain, wind and storms. Two climates affect northern Spain:

The oceanic climate, characteristic of the far north (often called "green Spain”) from Galicia to the Pyrenees - Galicia (A Coruña), Asturias (Oviedo) and Cantabria (Santander). The climate is mild in winter and relatively warm in summer, although differences in temperature are not extreme. Rain is abundant on the coast, especially in winter which brings wind with it, but it is still possible to visit the area with its a median annual temperature of about 59°F. In July and August, San Sebastian and its surroundings record temperatures of around 86°F, ideal for swimming. However, for a visit to the interior of the north west, April, May and June are preferable.

With the exception of mountainous areas, the rest of Spain is subject to a continental climate. Expect significant temperature differences between day and night and between seasons, as well as rain from October to December. Winters are relatively cold while summers are very hot, dry and cloudless, with temperatures ranging from 77°F 95°F during the day. If spring and autumn are perfect for holidays, you can nevertheless expect very cool temperatures and sometimes even snow in Salamanca.

As far as the mountains are concerned, principally the Spanish Pyrenees, summers are ideal for hiking with the family. Temperatures become milder as altitude increases, although the sun can be strong. Caution, in the late afternoon thunderstorms are common in the mountains! The Basque-Navarro-Bearn mountains are particularly wet and there is permanent snow above 1,200 metres. Depending on the time of year, the region and the altitude, northern Spain offers seaside holidays, relaxation and sports (hiking or skiing). All you have to do is choose.
