Best Time to Visit Andalusia

The best time to visit Andalusia in Spain is during the months of June through September. The summer climate is perfect for enjoying the beaches and the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Visitors can take part in outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling during the day, and relaxing on the beach in the late afternoon. The days are long, the sun is out, and the evening temperatures are comfortable to experience outdoor dining and watching the sunset. Even though it’s high season, there are still plenty of remote locations that offer peace and tranquility to escape the busy touristy areas.
