A visit to Spain in winter reveals another side to this fascinating country. There’s something for every taste – city breaks, amazing food, historical sites, and stunning nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter in Madrid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Madrid’s beautiful places come alive with festivities, shopping, and cultural events<\/strong>. There are Christmas markets in the squares<\/strong>, nativity scenes and festive decorations everywhere you look! This city is jam-packed with culture and museums<\/a>. Spend an afternoon in the Reina Sofia, the famous art gallery near Atocha Station<\/strong>. Check out Retiro park<\/strong> where you can enjoy a brisk walk before warming up in nearby historic caf\u00e9s. New Year’s Eve in Madrid is not to be missed. Gather with the locals in the buzzing Plaza Mayor<\/strong> to join in their tradition of eating grapes as the clock strikes midnight, then try the traditional chocolate con churros.

Winter in Barcelona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona is another great place for culture and exploring. Wander round the Barrio G\u00f3tico<\/a>, enjoying the architecture and bars, then head down to the sea to watch the boats. For more landmarks, don’t miss the chance to stroll around the Pla\u00e7a Espanya and a walk along the Passeig de Gracia<\/strong> where you can discover the heart of the modern city – shops, galleries, and businesses – surrounded by historical buildings<\/strong>. There are concerts and festivals to enjoy throughout the city.

Winter in Granada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Granada is another great option for winter holidays in Spain. After some tasty tapas in town, head to the Alhambra<\/a>, the exquisite hilltop palace and fortress where the architecture will leave you breathless. Afterwards, treat yourself to a spectacular show in the nearby flamenco caves<\/a>. From Granada there are beautiful views of the snow-covered mountains of the Sierra Nevada, a fantastic place for skiing and an easy drive to get out of town<\/strong> and enjoy some of Spain’s natural winter beauty.

Winter in Canary Islands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want gorgeous sandy beaches and amazing views<\/strong>, add the Canary Islands to your Spain winter itinerary and you can’t go wrong! Head to Tenerife for the Teide Volcano<\/strong> before hitting up the amazing local nightlife. The famous festival – Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife – is held in February<\/strong> and could really heat up your visit!

Catalonia Hotels<\/a> have places to stay in each location so you don’t have to think twice about where to sleep. These hotels are easily accessible by public transport after a busy day exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter in Spain: What\u00b4s the weather like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the day you’ll probably enjoy sunshine and bright blue skies, but wear layers as it can get cold out of the sunshine. The temperature can really drop at night<\/strong> so bring your hat and scarf. The mountains often have snow.<\/strong>
So if you’re looking for things to do in Spain during winter, let these ideas guide your holiday planning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
