While many people tend to believe that Spain is always hot, all year round, it can have quite diverse seasons, depending on where you choose to visit.
In Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, the weather is good for most of the year; however September and October are the areas wettest months. When it comes to Andalusia, or more specifically Granada, visitors can sometimes have the option of swimming at the beach in the morning and skiing in the slopes in the afternoon! Although the seasons are split evenly into three months, rarely is this a true reflection of how the weather will be in each season. It is always recommended to check forecasts before packing your case!
Things to See and Do
The most well known festival that happens in Spain is the running of the bulls in Pamplona. However there are many more things for visitors to experience, including:

Better to be Safe, than Sorry
Spain has so much to enjoy, but you never know how you will react to their food, water or simply be unlucky enough to fall ill while visiting. For this reason, it is highly recommended to purchase travel insurance that will cover your medical bills, should you need treatment. Many travel insurance policies also cover a range of things that can go wrong on holiday like:
Flight cancellations
Lost baggage and personal items
Rental car excess
Money and travel documents
Kidnap and ransom
Personal liability
While its awful to think that any of the above things could happen to you while visiting the country, it is a fact of travelling and it can happen to you. Travel insurance may be an added expense to your holiday that you werent expecting, but at the end of the day, the cost of medical bills can be far greater!
