May in Spain

Ideal walking weather throughout; cultural festivals down south

All in all, May is one of the best months for travel to Spain.

Spring is in full swing in the north and it is beautiful, with snow on the peaks and meadows full of spring flowers in the Picos de Europa and Pyrenees. May is a very pleasant month in central Spain – sunny and warm but not too hot, perfect for walking around Madrid.

May in Andalucía offers great walking, lively cultural festivities in Jerez, Seville and Córdoba, wildlife activity in Doñana National Park and lovely beach weather around Cabo de Gata. In Catalonia, the Girona 'Feast of Flowes' festival might well be of interest.
