Spain in winter is often described as a “warm sunny destination”, but that label hides a lot of important details.
I’ve spent multiple winters living and traveling across different regions of Spain – from the Atlantic north to the Mediterranean coast, inland cities, and the islands (in fact, I am currently living in Tenerife). And one thing became very clear – winter in Spain feels completely different depending on where you are. It is also never hot or warm enough for swimming.
This guide isn’t about attractions or checklists. It’s about understanding what winter in Spain is actually like, so you can decide if it fits your expectations and choose the right region from the start.
Best Spain Winter Tours (No Planning Needed)
Don’t want to spend too much time on planning a winter trip to Spain? I hand-picked these winter tours for you that follow a route that actually works in winter (cities + Andalusia + mild coast) and they come without logistics stress:
- Best of Southern Spain – 8 days
Why it’s great: smaller-group feel (max 16) with a winter-friendly focus on Southern Spain’s strongest cities
Good for: if you want Andalusia + Barcelona but hate big coach tours - Andalusia & Mediterranean Coast with Barcelona – 7 days
Why it’s great: The most winter-friendly combo covering a lot of stops across half a country
Good for: winter sun + variety without renting a car - Spain & Portugal: Flamenco & Tapas – 10 days
Why it’s great: culture + food focused (flamenco, tapas, wine) with an easy-paced Iberia route and a coastal break
Good for: a two-country trip where Spain + Portugal in one go and you don’t need to plan transport or accommodations - Andalucia & Toledo, starting from Madrid – 6 days
Why it’s great: short, efficient route – you get the “big winter wins” (Andalusia) without committing to a long tour
Good for: if you arrive in Madrid and want a simple, organized winter escape - Portugal, Andalusia and Morocco (Multi-Country) – 18 days
Why it’s great: big multi-country itinerary where complicated parts are handled (cross-border logistics) and you get the classic Andalusia core plus Morocco added on top
Good for: long vacations with lots of stops and guided sightseeing
🚗Prefer to go independently? If you want the same winter route idea but with full freedom (white villages, viewpoints, random stops) – compare car rentals in Spain here (best prices and insurance!) My favorite routes to follow by car in winter is in the end of this post.

What Winter in Spain Is Really Like (Not the Brochure Version)
Spain Doesn’t Have One Winter – It Has Several Very Different Ones
Winter in Spain isn’t a single experience, and thinking of it as one is where most people go wrong. The country spans very different climates, and in winter those differences become much more noticeable.
Northern Spain: Atlantic Winter (Rain & Wind)
Northern Spain (Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country) experiences a true Atlantic winter.
Daytime temperatures are above freezing and often sit in the 8–14°C range, but that number alone is misleading. High humidity, constant wind, and frequent rain make it feel colder than it looks on paper. Sun is rare, and winter days feel long and grey.
Snow is not typical here (but it happens like this year). What you get instead are:
- strong coastal storms
- heavy rain
- powerful waves
- rapidly changing weather
🔔This region stays green all winter and is visually striking, but winter travel here is quite overwhelming if you get unlucky with the weather. However, if you enjoy moody landscapes, don’t mind spending days under an umbrella and are ready to include many road trips, then exploring the north may be a nice break.
Central Spain: Cold Nights, Bright Days
Central Spain (Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Ávila, Segovia, Toledo) is where winter keeps surprises for many people.
Days feel pleasant when the sun is out, often reaching 10–15°C, but night temperatures regularly drop to 0°C or below (surprise, surprise). The air is very dry, skies are almost always clear, and sunlight is strong, which creates a big contrast between daytime comfort and harsh evenings.
This is the coldest region at night, not the north.
🚨If you plan a vacation to this part of Spain from December to February, proper clothing and heated accommodation matter much more here than people expect. Good accommodation examples: Hotel Alegria in Madrid, Áurea Hotel in Toledo (all Eurostars hotels are wonderful, always warm in winter), or this apartment in Madrid, which was remodeled to meet winter standards.
Southern Spain (Mainland): Warm Days, Cool Evenings
Southern mainland Spain (Andalusia, Murcia, parts of Valencia) offers the most comfortable winter conditions on the mainland.
Daytime temperatures commonly reach 15–20°C, especially in cities like Seville, Malaga, Granada, or Murcia. Walking during the day feels easy and pleasant, and sun is shining non-stop (except for a couple of hours here and there when the sky turns cloudy or there’s a bit of drizzle, which usually passes quite quickly).
However:
- evenings become cold quickly
- indoor heating is limited and makes it feel so incredibly cold inside
- swimming is not realistic (unless you come from Finland and are used to having cold dips)
🔔 After spending multiple winters in Malaga’s hidden areas and along the Costa Blanca, I realized that winter in southern Spain is ideal for city exploration and slow travel (coming for a month or the whole season), but it’s not beach weather in the summer sense or a destination for exploring small towns or villages.
Also, if you want to enjoy it to the fullest, book accommodation with proper heating like the Tandem Soho apartment (which has wooden floors and ducted heating) or Casa Lyrata (with double-glazed windows).
Balearic Islands: Similar to the Mainland, But Very Quiet
The Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca, Formentera) do not behave like tropical islands in winter.
Their winter climate closely follows the nearby Mediterranean coast:
- daytime temperatures around 12–16°C
- cold nights
- wind and occasional rain (more of it, by the way, than Andalusia gets)
Many seasonal businesses close, especially outside Palma, and islands feel very quiet (as to me – very quiet, but they will be perfect for introverts or people who are used to living in remote, calm areas). These islands work best in winter if you enjoy walking, nature, and empty landscapes – not much of city explorations, nightlife, or beach life.
Canary Islands: A Completely Different Winter (Warmest Place in Spain)
The Canary Islands are the only part of Spain with truly warm winter weather. However, this weather is not hot and resembles a cool summer in central or eastern Europe.
Located in the Atlantic near Africa, they maintain:
- daytime temperatures around 20–25°C
- rather warm nights
- low seasonal variation
That said, even here winter is not uniform:
- All islands are very different (I spent too much time living in Tenerife and traveling around the archipelago, so I can say that Tenerife feels like spring, Gran Canaria is similar in some sense but windier, Fuerteventura is like a cool summer with lots of sun on all sides)
- Southern coasts on all islands are sunnier and warmer
- Northern sides are greener, cooler, and cloudier
- Ocean temperatures remain cool (I’d say even cold when water is between 17–18°C, depending on the currents)
💡The Canaries are the closest Spain gets to a winter escape with consistent outdoor comfort, but they still don’t offer Caribbean-style heat or warm water for swimming.
Quick Reality Cheat Sheet for a Winter Trip to Spain

Spain in Winter by Month – What Actually Changes
Spain in December
It is already cool, dry in many regions, suitable for sightseeing, not for beach travel.
Weather in December is stable but clearly winter-leaning. Daytime temperatures are great for road trips, lots of walking, and outdoor activities, but evenings are cold everywhere (cold, but still comfortable if you have long sleeves and a jacket for the evening). Swimming is not realistic on the mainland, and sea temperatures are already low.
In southern Spain in December, days are the most comfortable, with frequent sun (pretty much every day) and temperatures that allow city exploration. Evenings and nights are already cold (13–15°C), so accommodation heating matters.
Northern Spain in December is dominated by Atlantic weather which means that rain and wind are already increasing (when I was there on different occasions, rain was every other day in outbursts) and low sunshine is common. Still, December is very nice for northern Spain, especially if you plan to rent a car and want to explore San Sebastián’s food scene, which is one of the best in the world.
If you are planning a December trip specifically, I’ve written a separate, detailed guide on what Spain is like in December and where it works best.
Spain in January
January in Spain is split into two very different halves. The first week is still busy due to the Three Kings celebrations, which run until January 6 and often stretch into the following days. During this period, there are many people everywhere (and still increased accommodation prices) and domestic travel is high.
After the Three Kings holiday ends, everywhere in Spain, life slows down. From mid-January onward, tourism drops (it’s a good time to travel to save money). Outside major cities (in towns and villages) life becomes even quieter than in December.
Weather in January brings very cold nights across the entire country (even in Andalusia it goes down to 5°C at night). Day temperatures and the amount of sunshine depend on the location.
NOTE FROM ME ON SPAIN IN JANUARY: If you’re wondering whether northern Spain in January is worth visiting, my answer is simple – no.
I lived in Santander during the winter, including January, and it was honestly so emotionally tough. It rained constantly. We had entire weeks of non-stop rain – sometimes heavy drizzle, sometimes full-on downpours that lasted all day. Going out just to walk around and enjoy the place wasn’t really an option. Everything was done under an umbrella and mostly by car.
So unless you get very lucky with the weather, January is not a good time to visit northern Spain’s coastal towns. I’d only consider it if you’re heading to Picos de Europa for winter scenery, then combining it with museums, a cozy guesthouse stay, and a food-focused stop in San Sebastián, where rain matters much less.
I also lived in southern Spain in winter, based in Malaga, and traveled a lot from Malaga by car around Andalusia, including trips to Murcia. Compared to the north, southern Spain in January is a completely different experience.
It has sun and feels great. While it does rain, it’s nowhere near as constant as in northern Spain. Some winters are wetter than others, but overall, the balance still strongly favors sun.
The one thing that really matters is heating. Outside temperatures are mild by European standards (nights usually drop to around 7–10°C) but many apartments are poorly insulated (I keep saying it all the time). Without proper heating, even +15°C during the day will feel cold indoors.
If you are choosing where to go, southern Spain in January makes far more sense. There are also fewer people, especially after Three Kings, and January is usually the cheapest month for accommodation. Just make sure your place has proper heating.
Spain in February
February in Spain is a transition month, and that’s important to understand. The first half of February still feels quite similar to January, with a mix of sun and rain. In the north, it can rain heavily, in central parts of Spain, it’s drier but colder. Overall, it still feels like winter.
From mid-February onward, especially after around the 15th–20th, traveling in Spain becomes so enjoyable. This is when the shift toward spring really starts to show. Days get longer, nightly temperature goes up, and there’s more light and sunshine everywhere. In the north, rainfall starts to ease by this time, with more dry breaks between rainy days.
Late February is particularly nice because of the contrast. Everything is very green after winter rains, the sky can still feel heavy and dramatic, but in a pleasant way, and then you get bright, sunny days in between. It’s great weather for walking, exploring cities, and coastal hikes.
Accommodation prices start to rise slightly toward the end of February, but not a lot. For me personally, late February is one of my favorite winter periods to be in Spain. Weather, light, and prices all come together well. If you are tired of winter elsewhere in Europe, late February in Spain (anywhere) feels like a reset. You can literally go anywhere and have a nice trip.
Who Spain in Winter Is Perfect For
Spain in winter works very well for people who are tired of grey skies, constant rain, and short days, especially if coming from Northern, Eastern, or Central Europe.
If your main goal is to get more light, more sun, and a change of atmosphere, and you are OK to be in a place without the summer heat, then winter Spain is going to be awesome (only if the accommodation is warm and you are based in cities).
It’s also ideal if you enjoy slow travel. Walking around cities, road trips, coastal drives, food-focused travel, museums, cafes, and simply being outside without crowds… winter is great for that.
Spain in winter is also very good for people who care about prices and calmness. Even December is not busy in terms of tourists, prices are low for accommodation (especially the first two weeks in December, January after around the 9th of Jan, and early February), easier transport (and very cheap car hire, we rent cars in Spain for €20-30 per week).
If you like traveling without pressure, without queues, and without booking everything weeks ahead, winter is going to work in your favor.
Who Usually Ends Up Disappointed
People who will definitely be disappointed are those who expect Spain in winter to feel like summer. That was my expectation on my very first trip years ago, when I went by car to Valencia and Costa Brava thinking it would be like a cooler version of summer. But it’s not.
Even in southern Spain, winter feels more like autumn or very early spring, but not summer.
You can lie on the beach and get some sun (if there is no cold wind, which is frequent), but swimming is unrealistic because the water is too cold.
Another group that often gets disappointed are people who expect it to be warm in every sense, especially indoors, while paying quite a lot for accommodation (because prices are inflated in Spain, especially considering that the quality of housing is poor). Many Spanish apartments are basic, uncomfortable, cold, poorly insulated, but still cost more than what one would expect. If you are not prepared with warm clothing and proper heating, this will really affect the experience.
People planning to see everything by traveling through small towns, villages, and remote coastal areas will be disappointed too. Outside major cities, Spain in winter is very quiet, sometimes almost asleep. If you like when everything is bustling around, there is nightlife and constant activity, then you’ll be pretty disappointed unless you stick to cities.
And finally, anyone expecting Spain to feel like a tropical destination will be disappointed. Spain has its own climate and rhythm, and winter here is simply different.
Where to Go in Spain in Winter (Based on Travel Style)
If you’re searching for where to visit in Spain in winter, the answer depends more on how you want to travel than on a specific city.
Cities like Seville, Valencia, Barcelona, Madrid, Granada, Malaga (and other big cities) work best in winter because daily life continues normally, attractions stay open, and walking is comfortable during the day.
Northern Spain (Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Basque Country) is better for slow travel, dramatic nature, and stormy coastlines, but not sightseeing-heavy itineraries (especially not in January, which is really a bad month to be there).
Southern Spain suits cultural travel and city breaks, not beach vacations, but the best part about it is that it’s great at any time during winter.
I personally love spending a few days in Barcelona, Valencia, Murcia, Ronda, or Granada. Costa Blanca is wonderful because of the lowest prices on the Mediterranean coast and nature.
The area between Malaga and Cadiz is the best for the amount of sun because the climate is more stable there (even though in Granada and Ronda it is cold, it is dry and sunny), and in winter prices are affordable (so I just take advantage of that).
If you want winter warmth like in summer, then the only region in Spain that gives just that is the Canary Islands, where it is possible to find lots of sun and summer-like temperatures.
What to Pack for a Winter Trip to Spain (From My Experience)
For mainland Spain (and the Balearic Islands), you’ll need layers, which are the most important thing, especially when outside. Scarf is useful, and it’s a good idea to have a light jacket or something with a hood. You might not need it every day, but there will be evenings when you’ll be glad you have it.
I like to bring a cozy fleece jacket that I can layer over a sweater or a lighter knit and scarf, depending on the weather, and a long vest for colder days (you can see both options in the photos below).
For shoes, open shoes are out completely. Sandals are useless. In many parts of Spain, regular leather trainers feel cold unless you wear thick socks. I usually wear lace-up leather boots or leather walking shoes (the ones you see in photos, which, on the left, are leather boots from Vepose).
My husband prefers insulated sneakers and waterproof clarks (sometimes for short trips, he travels in this exact pair of Columbia waterproof hiking shoes, which he wears in cities and anywhere in the countryside or nature).
Moccasins or thin shoes will not be enough (unless it’s a very warm and dry day, but in the evening they will be cold anyway).
We always travel with our own small umbrella. Not all apartments provide one, and ours has saved us more than once. A compact travel umbrella is enough. If you plan to have a car or stay in the resort for most of the most time, you might use it less, but it’s still good to have.
When it comes to clothes, bring things you can easily mix and layer so it is possible to wear them during different temperatures.
Among other things, don’t forget sunglasses (even in northern Spain you may need them on some days when the sun is out), two different types of socks (lighter ones and thicker pairs), and very important – things for indoors.
Spanish apartments, for the most part, have cold tile floors. We always bring slippers with a thick sole (we like ones from Yueerlu, but there are many other similar brands). Thin hotel-style slippers won’t work – the floor will still feel cold. Thick socks for the apartment (together with slippers) help a lot. The sole really makes a difference because it keeps you away from the cold floor.
I also bring warm leggings to wear at home (which I can also wear outside) and a base layer top (which I also wear under a knitted top or sweater-style top when going outdoors). My husband brings comfortable warm sweatpants and a long-sleeve top. That’s usually enough to feel comfortable indoors.
Also, don’t forget to bring warmer PJs (I actually prefer my cozy nightgown from Ekouaer, but there are many different types of lightweight cotton long sleeve pyjamas to choose from), which is so helpful in cooler apartments.
Summer clothes are unnecessary anywhere in mainland Spain in winter (unless you are really into lower temperatures). The only real exception is the Canary Islands, and even there it depends on the area. If you plan to go, refer to my other blog about Tenerife, where I include many details, including what to pack.

Yess, thank you for including a section on the warmest places to visit in Spain in the winter! I’m down to save money on traveling during the off-season, but I really hate the cold, ha. But I just read a post on visiting Italy in the winter, too, so maybe that’s a sign….Thanks for the guide!
Thank you, Dylan. I hear you, don’t like cold too. Glad you like my post!
Although I love cold weather, I love warm places too, they’re just comfortable to travel 🙂 I am in love with your pictures, and I had no idea about the sale season of Spain..will keep that in mind 😀 I looked up your recommendations for the leather boots, sadly they’re not available in India 🙁
Thanks, Shivani, unfortunately, many items are not available in India, I’ve heard that from other readers too. I don’t know why 🙁
I found the same is for Ukraine. When I am there I can’t order lots of things, because amazon and other major companies just don’t deliver to Ukraine, pity!
$18 car rental for 2 weeks?! That would get me to buy a plane ticket to Spain, too. I’ve actually never thought about visiting Spain in the winter before, but after reading your post, it sounds like the perfect destination. Not many countries in Europe offer opportunities for skiing and swimming at the same time. Now you’ve made me start looking at flights and hotels in Spain for this winter…
Thanks, Diana, you’ll surely have fun if you decide to go!
I’ve been thinking of places that would be good to visit in the winter, and Spain sounds perfect! It’s definitely somewhere that’s been on my list. I’m going to Portugal in the spring, so I’ll be close, but not quite there haha. I’m not a skier, but I had no idea that Spain had so many mountain peaks! And I’m definitely going to check out Montserrat whenever I get to Barcelona
Yes, Maggie, Spain has many peaks and this country is so diverse. Portugal is incredibly beautiful too, we can’t wait to visit!
I think winter is the best time of the year to travel. I don’t like to step out of the house in scorching sun. Where I live is hot all year round.
We are like that too. We thought we loved heat and sun but learned throughout all our travels that winters can be so much fun too!
Hey, this is so timely! We are hoping to go in February. How in the world did you get your amazing rental deal? Also, did you need to have your international driver’s permit to drive there?
We found it on easyrentalcars. Mark just loves surfing through different deals so I need to give him a credit for finding this one in Spain! We did have our international permit with us but no one from the rental company asked for it, they told us American license was enough. Actually, in other European countries, including Scandinavia and Balkans, we were never asked for international permit too. I guess they don’t care 🙂
This is just what I needed to see. My boyfriend and I are planning to live in Spain for a while but I was super worried about winter – I know it’s one of the warmer climates but still…..I hate winter haha. But this has eased my mind a bit. It doesn’t sound at all bad!
Spain reminded us a lot about California. For the most part, winters are very mild and enjoyable. I think you’ll love it there!
It is so great to visit destinations like Spain during the off-peak season, besides some of those places has some really nice weather. I know I would love a 20c in the winter! All the place you visited looks so beautiful and peaceful. Trading the warm weather for some peace and enjoyment of a place doesn’t look so bad!
So true, Lyne!
Traveling offseason is certainly one of the best ways to save money. I would never have thought of Spain for winter, but it does make sense given the mild temperatures. So thanks for that tip. What a steal on the car rental – $18 for two weeks…a bargain! We are actually planning a trip to Costa Brava and the winter time might just be the perfect time to go. Gorgeous pictures 🙂
Thank you, Rosemary, and yes, Costa Brava in winter is way quieter, I’m sure you’ll love it!
Spain always looks beautiful! I have been to Barcelona only for two days for business meeting 🙁 So could not explore anything there. But since then Spain was left in my destination bucket list. Next time I will definitely plan for the Spain vacation & specially to the warmest places as don’t love winter much. Thanks for such a lovely post.
Thank you, Deepa, for your lovely comment! Spain is huge indeed and really has a lot to offer. We are eager to go back and explore more of this country too!
Thank you for including the weather conditions on a blog about Spain. The weather situation should be more important when traveling to anew country. But almost all may forget to study whether conditions before a trip. So there may be a chance to lost your entire trip ideas by a bad climate. Actually, I didn’t think the winter in Spain maybe this much beautiful. The images on the blog attract me much more than the words. Thank you.
Hi Dhanika, I am so glad to hear you found this post useful! Thank you for leaving this comment, it makes my heart sing.
We absolutely fell in love with winter season in Spain and believe it is one of the best times of the year to visit! If you go, you won’t regret!
Hi Anya, could you please share with us more info about the car rental. Thanks
Hi Nas,
Somehow, Spain has one of the lowest rates for car rentals in Europe, so it’s a great idea to explore this country by car. At least as long as you’re not planning to just stay in one of the major cities. In my experience, it is best to rent a car at the international airport in Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia. The site we personally used to rent in Spain and many other places is Discover Cars. They always have great deals. I suggest you check it out.
Also, see if your credit card offers rental car insurance (for example, many cards in the US do.) This way you don’t need to purchase insurance from the rental supplier and you would probably get a much newer car. Although, you will still have to give them the deposit.
Overall driving in Spain is easy and relaxing, especially in the countryside and small towns. I would avoid driving in the big cities (I really hated Valencia’s giant roundabouts.) There are many interstates with up to 130/km speed limit. Some tolls in Catalonia (paid in a booth) do not show on Google maps, so it may be difficult to avoid them.
Free parking is sometimes limited. I always managed to find it (again, not in major cities) but had to walk for 10-15 minutes.
I hope this helps a bit.
Good luck with your trip!
Hi Mark,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I would prefer to drop off at different location. Plan the trip from Morocco and from south to north Spain. I will check the site if there any good RentCar deal. Thanks again
Hi Nas,
Your idea sounds like fun! Let me know if you have any other questions
Hi Nas, I wanted to share this post with you. Mark has just written a detailed guide on car rental in Spain. It should answer all your questions. Take a look here.
We too spent three weeks in Spain in January and February. What a wonderful trip we had. We made Malaga our home base per say, rented a car and drove the whole southern area. Even did a day trip to Morocco. Can’t say enough about the wonderful trip we had. And yes very reasonable.
Thank you, Jean, for sharing! I haven’t even thought about going to Morocco for a day. We might do it too, we’ll be in Gibraltar in January.
Pretty! This has been an extremely wonderful article. Thank you for supplying this information.
Spain always looks beautiful! I have been to Barcelona only for two days for a business meeting ? So could not explore anything there. But since then Spain was left in my destination bucket list. Next time I will definitely plan for the Spain vacation & especially to the warmest places as don’t love winter much. Thanks for such a lovely post.
Really interesting and well written blog, I enjoyed reading it, please keep on writing blogs like this.
Doe it rain a lot in Malaga region in winter? I saw you mentioning you lived there. We want to go in January-February but my wife hates windy rainy weather that we have in Portland at this time
The weather definitely won’t be the same in southern Spain in winter as in Portland! Yes, it may rain and the sky may be cloudy on some days in January and February but there is still lots of sun even on rainy days. This part of Spain never gets moments when it rains nonstop for the days in the row. I personally prefer Malaga in winter rather than in summer.
