What to do in Spain in March
Considering Spain’s mild March weather — and moderate crowds — it’s a great month to mix culture and nature. Here are a few suggestions for what to do in Spain in March.
Explore cities
March’s mild temperatures and less-crowded shoulder-season conditions make exploring Spain’s top cities all the more comfortable than the experience is during the scorching-hot height of summer.
For example, it’s the ideal time to visit historic sites like the Alhambra in Granada, La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, and the Royal Palace in Madrid.

Uncover outstanding UNESCO sites
Into culture? You could focus your March vacation on Spain’s rich history through visiting extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
For example, we’re huge fans of Cordoba. Its incredible UNESCO-designated Historic Centre is a joy to explore in spring, when you’re less likely to have to vie for space.
The same is true of the ancient city of Toledo, with its UNESCO esteemed World Heritage Centre.
Enjoy outdoor adventures
If you’re looking for a more active vacation, take advantage of the mild weather by heading to the Canary Islands to hike, or explore the rugged, scenic landscapes of Northern Spain.
