Spain is beautiful year-round. Spring from April to June and autumn from September to October offer mild weather with fewer crowds and reasonable prices. Summer from July to August is very hot inland and packed with tourists on the coasts. Winter is mild in the Canary Islands and southern Spain, making it a good snowbird escape for Canadians. Easter (Semana Santa) in March or April is a spectacular cultural event but very crowded.
