I cant decide when to visit southern Spain, October or April?? HELP please?

Question

I want to visit Sevilla, Granada, Toledo, and Madrid, and i can't bring myself to decide on when it is best to do so...

Answer 1

The Travel Channel website has a good short subject video by Samantha Brown's "Passport to Europe" with a focus on Barcelona and Madrid.  October starts to get cooler with a higher chance of rainy days.

Answer 2

spring/april is beautiful & starting to get warmer.  october is beginning to have cooler weather.

both are fine for avoiding the extremely hot weather....

Answer 3

Yes, Easter is very big in Seville and there is a big fair two weeks after Easter. Plus flowers bloomong etc. Also, October is usually the rainiest month in Andalusia -- although they were having droughts a few years back.  

ALso, if you can fit in a day in Corboda -- I highly recommend -- it is right on the route from Madrid to Seville or Granada -- The AVE high speed train gets you there in 2 hours form Madrid and then to Seville in 30 minutes.

Answer 4

April!!

In the catholic countries we celebrate the "Semana

Santa" in April, Sevilla is fantastic in April!

Hi  from Spain!

Answer 5

Maybe April as it will be some what warmer. have a great time.

Answer 6

I agree, if you are a very Catholic Person you would come to see Holy week in April. Its celebrated in every major city and town in Spain.. and full of A LOT of tourist....and many things are closed because Spaniards go on vacation during this time usually....

October on the other hand is perfect ( for me at least) because you will not be as Crowded with tourist as in April.. and the weather is still nice..  So I would stick to October.

Take care.
