For your long stay winter holidays in Spain

If you plan a long stay in Spain, take note of the best places you can and should visit. It is a vast country with countless cities and towns full of charm and tradition. Spain offers many places to provide you whether you want to enjoy a very urban or rural stay.

It all depends on what you are looking for! Temperatures in Spain drop considerably during the winter, but much more so in the country's northern regions, where it also rains. If you don't want a cold, rainy, and wet winter, save northern Spain for another time.

Focus on the center and east, where the winter is cold but drier. We also recommend visiting the south of the country, where despite the cold, the thermometer does not drop as much. And, of course, if you want an eternal summer, travel to the Canary Islands.
