Packing Tips
|
| In summer, cotton clothing is best. A windbreaker or light jacket is useful for evenings. The Average temperature in July and August is between 80 and 90 degrees. Summers can be extremely hot throughout Spain, while certain southern destinations remain fairly mild even in winter.
If you're traveling to the coastal towns or islands, be sure to bring your bathing suit, as the beaches are some of the best in the world.
