Best time to Visit Spain

• March to May – If you are planning to visit the northern parts of Spain, it is best to visit during these months in spring. The temperature is always cool and in the mid-20s Fahrenheit. As the summer season arrives, the temperatures start mounting, but it is never too hot in any real sense.
• September to November - These are the months that constitute fall time in Germany. During this period, the crowds are comparatively low while the money you need to spend is also within range.

Before you book your flight tickets to Spain’s most famous destinations, always plan ahead and keep in mind that the real tourist season generally starts from May and goes on till September. You can always give the peak months a miss.
