Spain October Holidays

Balanced perfectly on the brink between summer and autumn, Spain October holidays offer the remnants of warm weather, as well as the beginning of vibrant autumnal colours and cooler days. The blonde beaches of Catalonia and San Sebastián are as alluring as ever come October, while the Balearic Islands remain blessed with balmy temperatures and gentle sea breezes. Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana mountains welcome avid cyclists and hikers looking to avoid the scorching heat, and in Ibiza – the islands’ hedonistic headquarters – you’ll find a slower pace of life than during the high-spirited summer months, with trendy festivals exchanged for tranquil beach strolls.

Spain October holidays are also the ideal time for a laid-back family getaway. Discover archetypal Spanish culture in Andalucía, at the southernmost tip of the country, where you’ll find the cultural hubs of Cordoba, Granada and Seville; each a distinct treasure trove of baroque, renaissance and Mudejar architecture. Barcelona’s vivid, surrealist landmarks and fantastical features are a pleasure to explore under cooler climes and without the crowds. For culture in the form of cuisine, the Basque Country delivers with the seaside city of San Sebastián – crowned Spain’s culinary capital – and the renowned wine region of Rioja.
