Tourist seasons
Crowds are a consideration, too, in deciding when to visit.
Spain doubles its population each summer, filling beaches,
resort hotels, and restaurants. In particular, August is the
time when the Spanish themselves go on holiday, adding their
numbers to beach crowds. Prices rise to accommodate the crowds.
Overall, spring would be the ideal season to cover Spain's terrain,
and early summer months are preferable to crowded August.
Inner and rural tourism rise in Spring and Autumm. For example,
Seville, Cordova or Granada get thousands of tourists in Autumm.
Holidays and Special Events
The dates of holidays are important because businesses and
sights may be closed. But holidays also offer the best
opportunities to view and enjoy the local color.
All offices are closed on national holidays. When occurring
near a weekend, the holiday becomes a four-day weekend.
