About this deal

May is also the month of the Cordoba Patios Festival, which is celebrated with events, parades, flower “wars”, and patio contests for residents to show off the finest of spring on their doorsteps! June – Spain Heats Up! Enjoy sightseeing and sitting outside enjoying a coffee in the city square, or hit the hiking trails to see spring budding in Spanish nature. Travellers from outside the EU will require a short-stay visa: this is the general visa for tourists and allows you to stay and travel through Spain for 90 days.

Seville's version of Easter during Semana Santa is perhaps the most lavish in the country, with magnificent floats parading through the city in daily processionals and awe-inspiring performances. Events culminate with Easter Sunday processionals to the city's central cathedral and an Easter Mass. The event is deeply religious, but since it takes over the entire city, virtually everyone is involved. If you're in Seville during this time, you won't be able to miss it. It’s clear that Quirke and Tice are destined to cross paths at some point and Banville keeps us in suspense, maintaining the two characters’ separate storylines almost until the end. But April in Spain isn’t all suspense and crime. Banville’s literary prose, style and the odd reference unobtrusively slip into the characters’ observations, whether it’s a comical comment on a character’s appearance or an astute observation about the surroundings.Although quite cool during the start of the year, the weather in Bilbao begins to ease off during the month of April. This gives the ideal conditions for exploring the northern Spanish city of Bilbao, and it is one full of wonder! No, you’re not dreaming… April is definitely one of the best months to visit Spain! May – Perfect Weather and the Start of Bullfighting Season One of the biggest draws to Bilbao is the world-famous Guggenheim museum of modern and contemporary art. Aside from being home to a huge art collection, the museum’s building alone is a huge draw for those visiting Bilbao in April. The Sant Jordi Festivalis a local celebration that combines Valentine's Day traditions with a celebration of the lives of Cervantes and Shakespeare, who both died on the same day. Ittakes place in the Catalonia region on April 23 every year, when lovers typically gift books to one another.

Take a tour around Andalusia to visit local villages, or head to Ronda, a stunning town made famous by Hemmingway’s description as the “most romantic town in Spain.” November is the best time to spend your time wandering around in the crisp, cool weather before the winter chill really hits. When journeying through Spain in April, there are several places that stand out as a must-see during spring. At the top of this list is the city of Seville, the capital of the Andalusian region. Seville plays host to the Feria de Abril, a festival full of good times, great food and flamenco. February is still pretty quiet in Spain with decently cold temperatures, especially in Madrid and other northern cities like Bilbao and Galicia. It’s also rainy pretty much all of the time, which is why most people opt to hit the south of Spain when planning a trip in February. In April, people in Andalusia start heading to the beach and restaurant terraces slowly fill up with eager diners ready for a taste of spring on the patio. Despite the weather being good, the wave of summer tourists still hasn’t hit yet, so this is a great time to visit before things get too crowded!Visiting Barcelona in April is considered one of the best times of the year to see this magical city. The high heat of summer hasn’t quite arrived, but Barcelona rarely sees rainfall during this time – the perfect recipe for exploring the city. However, no matter when you visit Spain, you won’t be disappointed. Year round, there’s delicious food, unbelievable museums, and a culture that’s well worth immersing yourself in.Just note that during off-season between November and March, you may find that businesses and restaurants have shortened hours. March officially marks the beginning of spring which is one of the most beautiful times to visit Spain. Trees start to bud and blossom, there are flowers abound, and of course some rain to round things out.
