SPAIN’S BEAUTIFUL SOUTH FOR WINTER SUN

Posted by Niamh on

If you’re looking to get away to relish in some winter sun, Spain could be your best bet. From Ireland, Spain is only a short distance, which means you can enjoy a visit over winter and still make it home in time for Christmas.

Winter is almost unheard of in Andalucia, with the scorching sunshine reigning over the cities in the region, despite the temperature dropping in other locations throughout the country. All year round you’ll enjoy sizzling temperatures in the south, and while it’s almost unbearable in the height of summer, winter is the perfect temperature for tourists.

WHY VISIT SPAIN IN THE WINTER?

With a long list of places to go in Spain, there are plenty of reasons why this stunning country is the ideal place to spend the winter months. As the temperature drops in Ireland and we notice the evenings getting darker, it’s no surprise that people decide to jet overseas instead. The weather in the south of Spain averages at around 16-18°C, which is substantially higher than that of Ireland.

The days are longer, with around 10 hours of sunshine per day, allowing you to watch the sunset in the evening, which is particularly beautiful if you have the opportunity to watch it set over the sea. While the weather is definitely a reason to go to Spain, with low rainfall, higher temperatures and sun, the parties also bring a lot of people in.

Winter fiestas are big in Spain, many people may think the party season dies down once September comes, but it is stronger than ever in December. You may miss celebrating Christmas at home, but it’s a huge celebration in Spain, so you won’t miss out on any of the fun – just the cold weather.

Christmas celebrations in Spain are quite different from Ireland. While Christmas Day is mostly associated with food, in Spain it’s filled with leftovers. Christmas Eve is the country’s big food event, it’s usually quite formal and people tend to get dressed up as they start the celebrations.
