Spain
Europe lucked out when a cluster of medieval kingdoms came together to form what is modern-day Espana. In 2013, it was the world’s 3rd most popular destination after France and the US and perhaps the beaches from the sunny, gorgeous Med to the beautiful Bay of Biscay up north could be one reason alone. Don’t let the fact that beach-nudity is legal here bother you; the Spaniards are very tasteful people. Focus more on the 44 stunning UNESCO World Heritage sites up and down the country, especially the breathtaking city of Granada. The first modern novel, Don Quixote (Miguel Cervantes, 1605) hails from here, as do some of the finest artists in the world: Velasquez, Goya, Picasso, Dali, and perhaps the greatest 20th century architect of all, Gaudi. Come and partake of the hundreds of festivals around the country, eat at the oldest restaurant in the world in Madrid, Restaurante Botin, open since 1725, and find out why Spaniards are some of the most chilled-out folk in the world.

Peak Season Description:
No different from any other Southern European country, it sees its maximum tourist influx from June to August, with high prices, queues outside attractions and cafes full. Despite high temperatures but it’s still the most convivial time to be in Spain. Head north to beaches of Basque country on the shores of the Biscay for cooler temperatures. Do note: southernmost Andalucia is steaming hot mid-July to August.
Shoulder Season Description:
The spring months of March to May see crisp sunny days with lesser tourists, more hotel availability and uncrowded attractions. Ditto with autumn. Southern Andalucia is best at this time (way too hot in peak summer), but Barcelona and even further up on the shores of the Bay of Biscay, the temperatures can have a bite, but nothing too unpleasant.
Low Season Description:
If you must travel at this time, avoid the north as it gets very wet, dark and bleak. Madrid and southward of it see brilliant crisp winter days, lovely weather indeed if you don’t mind being a little bundled up. Hotels on beaches will shut shop; the interior will still be open for business, but sparsely attended. Christmas is celebrated with the usual pomp and panache in the big cities.
