Where should you go in Spain in january when it comes to the weather?

Remember:
The climate in Spain in january ranges from good to very bad depending on the region and city.

Given the influence of the height and the location of each locality, the climate throughout January in Spain varies from one place to another. If the climatic conditions on the Mediterranean coast benefit from the mildness of the atmosphere, on the Atlantic coast the weather is often bad. The same goes for the very low temperatures inland, causing the mornings to be rather unpleasant.

January on the Mediterranean Coast of Spain

From the Costa Dorada to the Costa de Almeria, the days are characterized by gentle morning temperatures which quickly turn into pleasant warmth by midday. As the sun dominates the weather in Spain throughout January along the coastline, one will be able to enjoy the beautiful sunny days and to re-energize.

January on the Atlantic Coast of Spain

It is too early to think of a road trip in Santiago de Compostela - given the freshness of the day and the relative abundance of the rains. In fact the whole of the localities located on the Spanish Atlantic coastline are facing the showers. Not only is it cold but the sun is to be desired. The bright and sunny days are counted on the fingers of one hand.

January in Andalusia

The climatic conditions in Andalusia confirm the clemency of the weather throughout January in Spain. The very mild morning temperatures become very pleasant in the middle of the day, so sweatshirts are enough to promote a comfortable feeling. In addition, sunny days are conducive to activities such as hiking or sightseeing. Only the localities near the Sierra Nevada are still experiencing very low temperatures.

January on Inland in Spain

From Madrid to Toledo via Salamanca, all the localities inland remind us that the month of January is at the heart of the winter season and that temperatures can be very low - especially during the winter months. Night and early in the day are especially fresh.
