What is the best time to visit Spain?

The best time to visit Spain really depends on where you’re headed. If you're checking out cities like Madrid, Valencia, or Barcelona, spring and autumn are fantastic for mild weather and avoiding the crowds. Christmas in Spain is magical, though it does get pretty busy with both locals and tourists enjoying the festive season. If you’re dreaming of beach time on the Mediterranean coast, summer (June to September) is spot-on. And for year-round sunshine, the Canary Islands are your go-to with their steady, mild climate.

What are some must-try Spanish dishes?

When you’re in Spain, there are a few dishes you absolutely can’t miss. Start with Valencian paella — it's a tasty rice dish that's full of flavour. Try pulpo a la Gallega, which is tender octopus from Galicia, and Basque pintxos — these little snacks are just delicious. And don’t skip the crema Catalana, a creamy, dreamy dessert. Of course, you’ve got to try the classic tortilla de patatas, a Spanish omelette. Plus, in Andalusia, you might get free tapas with your drink. Each region has its own special dishes that’ll make your Spanish adventure even more delicious.

What are the most beautiful coastlines in Spain?

With nearly 8,000 kilometres of coastline, Spain really spoils you for choice. The Mediterranean coast — think Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca, and Costa Daurada — is perfect for summer getaways. The Balearic Islands? Those coves are a must-see. You can wander through the charming villages and hidden bays of the Costa Brava, or soak up the dramatic, rugged views along Northern Spain’s Atlantic coast. And don’t forget those unique black sand beaches in the Canary Islands. Every stretch of coastline here is sure to impress.
