Barcelona

The coldest place presented. Swimming season here it starts later than everyone else - in June, and ends earlier, at the end of September - beginning of October. There are much more sunny days than in the European part of Russia and you can enjoy the sun here even in winter.

From here it is easiest to get to ski resorts and warm sea coasts. They go from Barcelona high speed trains throughout Spain.

The most uncomfortable and windy weather begins in February and ends in April, giving way to... warm air- the predecessor of summer heat. Maximum temperature summer - +28. This is facilitated by mountains and forests in the north of the region. The sea is also not very warm - +23-24. In the Canary Islands, even in winter its temperature is about +20.

Alicante

This city is significantly south of Barcelona, ​​and the weather here is a couple of degrees warmer. However, the beach season in Alicante begins only 1-2 weeks earlier. Winter is very comfortable and sunny, especially in December and January. The daytime temperature does not fall below 15 degrees Celsius, and the sea temperature does not fall below 13.

It rains most often in October and November, but not too much. You can still swim at this time.

March-April also "will please" precipitation. In combination with coastal winds, this does not create a comfortable environment in the coastal zone. But this perfect time for excursions around the country. In summer +30 and warm sea up to +26 will delight parents with children and lovers of swimming in "fresh milk".

Malaga

The capital of Andalusia delights with the hot sun and cool sea. Even in August, the sea here is 2-3 degrees colder than in Alicante. The reason for this is its proximity to Atlantic ocean currents. Which even through the narrow Strait of Gibraltar reach this part Mediterranean Sea.

In winter the opposite situation occurs. The sea is warmer than in the north and the air remains warm up to +18.

This region is considered one of the best in Spain for excursion holiday. But it is not very suitable for beach activities and families with children due to the cool sea. However, prices here are quite high.

Cadiz

Cadiz is a completely different coast - the Atlantic. There are wide beaches and clean sand. The swimming season opens in May and ends in October. High ocean waves allow you to exercise various types sports Even the smallest ones will feel comfortable in the long strip of surf. Due to the strong influence of the ocean, the climate is more even.

There is more rain here than in the Mediterranean Sea. Cadiz is one of the oldest European cities, so it is popular not only for its beaches. In winter it will be very pleasant to be here for educational purposes or for those who just want to breathe the ocean air.

There are more than 20 sunny days per month, this is an additional factor of comfort. After all, northerners miss the sun so much, especially in the cold and gloomy autumn.

The Balearic Islands have a wonderful temperate Mediterranean climate. Its proximity to the African coast makes it warmer than on the mainland. The sea maintains the temperature, preventing it from rising too much in summer and falling in winter.

The beach season here lasts a little longer, until November. The hot summers are cooled by the island breeze, making it very comfortable to be here. There is more precipitation than at mainland resorts.

The rainiest months are November and February. The sun will not come out from behind the clouds every day, but the air temperature of +15-20 will completely compensate for this shortcoming.

All the Canary Islands are of volcanic origin. Each of them is divided into 2 parts by a mountain range - northern and southern. The weather on both ends of the island can be radically different. If at one end it's raining, there is a strong wind blowing and a maximum of +20, then on the other it is quiet, sunny, warm and +26. The difference in average annual temperatures here does not exceed 10 degrees Celsius.

Looking at the table, you can see that the air and sea temperatures in the north and south are not much different, but the number of sunny days on the southern coast is one and a half times greater.

The beach season in the Canaries lasts almost the whole year. Of course, only seasoned swimmers can swim from December to April. After all, the sea temperature will be about +20 degrees. Also, here you can roll around in the snow if you climb to the top of the volcanoes in the winter months. They don’t reach the ski resorts, but it’s absolutely possible to admire the snow-white caps.

Spain consistently ranks among the top five countries with the highest life expectancy. And unique climatic conditions play a significant role in this.

The kingdom occupies a vast territory with various climatic conditions. In this article we will talk about regions with the most favorable climate for recreation and living.

Main climate zones of Spain

Spain is usually divided into 3 climatic zones– north, center and southeast.

Contrary to popular stereotypes, it is not cold at all in the north. The climate here is maritime with a strong influence of the Atlantic. Winter is very mild and gentle, but summer cannot be called hot either. A good option for those who want both cold and heat in moderation.

But in the center the climate is continental - that is, the harshest. By Spanish standards, of course. Hot and dry summer Cold winter. Again, the cold Spanish winter is +5°C or +10°C. This is exactly the temperature in the central part of the country in January, the coldest month.

The ideal climate is a deeply individual concept, since it depends on one’s well-being and characteristics. specific person. You might like the north of Spain, where temperature fluctuations are minimal, there is a lot of vegetation and very beautiful landscapes. And yet, the majority prefer to relax on the southeastern coasts with a subtropical climate.

In the southeast of Spain, everything is “good” - winters are short and mild, and summers are moderately hot. “Particularly good” in Andalusia - on the Costa del Sol, as well as on the Costa Blanca. The Canary and Balearic Islands are also always at the peak of popularity.

Islands

The Canary Islands are a kingdom of eternal spring. In summer the thermometer rises only to +26°C, in winter it drops to +21°C. A good option for those who are not suited to the climate of continental Spain. The list of advantages of the Canary Islands is complemented by the absence of hurricanes and heavy rains.

The climatic conditions of the Balearic Islands have a beneficial effect on health and well-being. average temperature in winter +14°C, and in summer +28°C. The heat is softened by the sea breeze. In summer the water warms up to +25°C. The number of sunny days per year is 300. And in 2015, Forbes named Palma de Mallorca the best city in the world for leisure and work.

Costa del Sol


This is the sunniest and southern coast of the Spanish Kingdom, where millions of residents of Europe and other countries with harsher climates spend their winters (and not only winters).

Good weather lasts here all 12 months of the year. On this coast the sun shines at least 325 days a year. Daytime temperature in winter is +17°C, in summer - about +30°C, while winter lasts only 2-3 months. The Mediterranean Sea has a great influence on the entire coast of Spain and softens the dry air. As for vegetation, there is not much of it here, especially in the south.

Costa Blanca


The "White Coast", Costa Blanca, corresponds to the coastline of the province of Alicante. Thanks to moderate rainfall, the northern part of the Costa Blanca is decorated with quite lush vegetation. And the climate here is milder than in the south of the coast.

The end point of the “green” part of the Costa Blanca is Benidorm. Then the landscape changes and becomes more deserted. The area from Alicante to Torrevieja is more like a steppe. In summer, the air temperature here can reach +35°C or even + 40°C.
