Spain is a country not exactly associated with winter. Yet, many tourists visit between December and January. Why? We’ll answer that question here.

The most compelling reason to visit Spain in winter is, firstly, the absence of the scorching sun. The weather in Spain varies significantly depending on the region. If you’re planning to visit Madrid or Barcelona, ​​December will generally be dry and sunny, with an average temperature of 19°C (66°F). But if you head to the mountainous regions, you’ll find snow on the slopes. The coast of the Bay of Biscay has the wettest climate in the country, with frequent rain and cloudy weather. So, it’s up to you to decide where to go.

Tourists often choose tours of Spain’s major cities, such as Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Cordoba, or Ibiza. Here, you can enjoy all the beauty, museums, and galleries without the hassle. If you’re a shopaholic, then January is the best time to visit Barcelona. There are mind-blowing discounts and sales starting on January 7th. 35,000 stores await you with discounts of up to 90%! It’s a shopper’s paradise.

Winter holidays in Spain are also possible, as the country boasts over 30 ski resorts. Among the most popular are Baqueira Beret, La Molina, Masella, Formigal, and Sierra Nevada.
