A last blast of summer; an oasis of warmth and light before the cold, dark winter months ahead; or a half-term break with the kids after the stresses of starting a new school year – there are many reasons why people want to holiday in Spain in October. And those who do jet south will find pleasant temperatures and no crowds.
Spain is a large country, and the climate in the Basque country in the north, for example, is very different to that of the Canary Islands. But whether you are looking for a beach holiday or a city break, Spain has plenty to offer in October.
And the great advantage of heading to Spain in October is the lack of holidaymakers. You won’t have to race for sun loungers, you won’t have to queue to get into museums or theme parks – it’s a chilled end-of-season vibe.
