The summer months in the Mediterranean are characterized by very high temperatures, which does not have a particularly good effect on the well-being of certain categories of tourists. Young children, the elderly and people suffering from cardiovascular diseases do not tolerate heat well. It is for this reason that they go on vacation to the south during the velvet season. The end of August and the beginning of September are the most attractive months in this regard. Spain in September also has good weather and the absence of suffocating heat, so it is recommended as a host country for those who love the luxury of southern resorts, but cannot stand the suffocating heat.

Weather

Autumn is gradually coming into its own, so the weather in Spain in September is much milder and more gentle than at peak holiday season. The climate in this region of Europe is such that the seasons change very slowly and unhurriedly. At the beginning of September, summer is still continuing throughout almost the entire territory of Spain, although in the evenings it is already becoming a little cooler.

Anyone who is wondering where to go on vacation in September should definitely visit Spain. This southern country will leave the most pleasant impression. Beach lovers, of course, should go south. The most heat air and water. There is almost no rainfall here at this time of year. Rains, if they happen, are very short-lived. The temperature distribution across the region is approximately as follows:

  • in Alicante the air temperature during the day is +29°C;
  • in Benidorm +29°C;
  • in Tenerife +28°C;
  • Malaga also pleases with warmth - the temperature in this resort is +28°C;
  • in Salou +26°C;
  • in Costa Dorada +26°C;
  • a little cooler in Costa Brava +25°C.

At night the temperature almost never drops below +17°C. You can walk without windbreakers and jackets. As for footwear, sandals and beach flip-flops are still preferred. Only if you are going to the north of the country, you can take more closed shoes, a light raincoat or a windbreaker. In the north, it rains more often in September than in summer.

For those who adore the gentle sea, exotic fruits and beach holiday, we recommend going to one of these beautiful resorts. The water temperature is almost the same everywhere: +23/+24°C. The warmest sea is in Malaga (+27°C). A wonderful beach holiday is guaranteed not only by a warm sea like fresh milk. In mid-to-late September, Spain experiences a slight decline in tourist arrivals. The beaches are becoming a little freer than usual.

Tour costs

In addition to the excellent climate and fewer tourists, it is also encouraging that the cost of a trip to Spain in September is approximately 15-20% less than in the high season (July-August). Go for a week's rest by the sea in some southern spanish resort will cost about 45-50 thousand rubles. for 1 person (3* or 4* hotel with all-inclusive service).

The most popular Mediterranean resorts: Malaga, Salou, Benidorm, Alicante, o. Ibiza, Mallorca, Costa del Sol, etc. Prices for tours to Spain in September at these resorts may be a little more expensive - by 5-10%.

Shopping

There are many travelers for whom splashing in the waves, a warm sea and an even tan are not an end in themselves, but only a beautiful accompaniment to a shopping tour. For such tourists, at the end of September it will become a real paradise. The summer sales season begins in this country from the middle of the month. If you want to find the most the best prices During this time, look for the "Rebajas" signs. The Spaniards call their favorite sales with this sweet word.

If you have never been to Spain and don’t know what an avid shopaholic should pay attention to, we recommend visiting Barcelona. Here you can get amazing discounts (up to 90%!). The best shopping at this time is in mega malls. For example, such as La Maquinista, El Corte Ingles and Apple Store. It's worth visiting Madrid and Seville. In Madrid, an entire quarter called Barrio de Salamanca is “at the mercy” of fashion boutiques. Seville is famous for the Nervion district, where you can buy amazing designer items very cheaply.

In general, prices for many products in September are very attractive. You can buy not only summer designer dresses and sandals, but also fur coats, jewelry and even antiques very inexpensively. Local souvenirs are especially loved by tourists. These are traditional figurines of the symbol of bullfighting - a bull, hand-painted fans and, of course, castanets.

Holidays

Even the most fabulous holiday In Spain, September is unthinkable without local festivities. The Great Flour Battle, which is traditionally held this month in a town called Alarcón, enjoys special love, even adoration, among the local population. For a day, the city turns into a “snow-covered” fairy-tale kingdom, covered with flour from the pavements to the roofs. All you have to do is gape a little - and now you are all in flour! There is no need to expect mercy here.

In the village of Manganesas de la Polvorosa, festivities are held in September in honor of Saint Vicente. Crowds of dressed-up and dancing people pass through all the streets. Costume performances are held periodically. At the end of the holiday, a decorated goat is thrown from the bell tower. She lands on a tarp, so vigilant animal rights activists don't have to worry. Not a single goat was harmed.

San Sebastian hosts a film festival and festival in September classical music, very beloved by the residents of the city. The very spectacular Punic Wars take place in Cartagena. At the end of September, Barcelona hosts holidays in honor of the city's patron saint, the Virgin of La Merce. In general, the Spaniards are very fond of all kinds of carnivals, processions and performances, and September is especially rich in them. For this reason alone, it is worth visiting this colorful country this month.

Excursions

If a beach holiday is not as attractive as traveling and getting to know new places, it is better to buy an inexpensive excursion tour. September is the most best month to get to know this amazing country better. In addition to the described Spanish cities, you should definitely visit Girona. The city is famous for its invincible fortress walls, which have repelled several dozen enemy sieges.

Sitges is also famous for its monasteries and ancient churches. Many sightseeing tours include this ancient city in their program. Those who prefer a fun pastime should visit at least one amusement park in Spain. There are these in Seville, Tenerife and Salou. Families with children will find it especially interesting here.

Spain is dearly loved by Russian tourists for its hospitality, for the sea and beaches, for jamon and sangria, for good shopping, for breathtaking parties, and for unique attractions. In all respects, Spain is ideal for any type of travel: lazy beach, active, contemplative and admiring. Many people dream about Spain, and those who have visited Spain dream of a return visit to this country as soon as possible.

You can travel to this country at any time, but it is much more pleasant to visit Spain during the warmer and drier months of the year. However, in the summer in Spain it can be too hot, but September is ideal for these purposes.

It's quite difficult to talk about the weather when we're talking about about the whole country. Moreover, Spain is not such a small country, there are islands, mountains, plains, and coastal areas - of course, the weather in different areas can vary.

In addition, the weather at the beginning and end of the month is different. Still, autumn is autumn, even in such a southern state. First two weeks of September However, this is the real summer, a wonderful time for a beach holiday and traveling around the country. In the second half the weather It may get a little worse, but, as a rule, nothing “criminal” happens, and the weather in Spain is pleasant throughout September.

In the northern and eastern regions Spain it will be hot, although the number of rainy days here is much greater than in the south, where there may not be any rain at all in September. In Malaga, for example, there is no promise of rain, and if there is just one rain, it will be short and warm. September is not the best wet month for Barcelona, ​​but at least 4 rainy days are promised. By the way, it is recommended to swim in only in the first days, since the sea off the coast of the city, even at the beginning of the month, is not the warmest (but not the coldest), only +25°C, and by the end of the month the sea may cool down to +23°C – this temperature will seem too cool for swimming for many. However, the whole of September in Barcelona is sunny and hot, with average daytime temperatures of +26-30°C (as a rule, a slight cooling occurs only in the last week), and at night in beautiful Barcelona it is still warm, +20-21 °C (in last numbers September up to +16°C).

From the second half of September the sea may be rough and not too warm (+20-21°C). And in the southern resorts, from the second half there are often low clouds that can cover the sky for several days, and a stormy sea can ruin a beach holiday.

The capital of Spain is located in the very center of the country, and the influence of the ocean is not so strong. In Madrid, not a drop of rain may fall during the whole of September, and at the same time there will be very pleasant hot weather - + 26-30 ° C (and up to + 37 ° C) in the first half and cold snap up to +19-20°C in the second half. However, the weather is unpredictable, and in some years September in the capital can be very hot until the last day.

As we know, Spain owns a number of islands. In the Canary Islands (to which the famous one belongs), due to the influence of the not-so-warm Atlantic Ocean, September will be cooler than on the mainland: during the day on average +26-27°C (it almost never happens above +30), at night - + 21-22°C. And this despite the fact that there are islands south of the mainland. But the good news is that the weather on the islands is extremely stable and easy to predict. There is not much precipitation in Tenerife in September, but sometimes the sky is cloudy.

But the Spanish islands in the Mediterranean Sea - the Balearic Islands (, and Formentera) delight with hotter weather, although the tiresome summer heat is no longer there: during the day on the islands the average is + 26-28 ° C, and it’s very cool that it’s warm at night - +24 -25°C, while almost no deterioration in the weather is expected, and it is quite warm and clear weather with stable temperatures will delight tourists until last days September (at the same time, even at the end a hot day may suddenly come). There is little precipitation on the islands, no more than 2 rainy days, which is very pleasant. And it’s more pleasant to swim near the islands, because the sea doesn’t cool down that much - from +26-27°C in early September by only a degree or one and a half by the last days.

In short, it is best to go to Spain for a beach holiday at the very beginning of autumn, since there is no “velvet season” as such on the country’s coast. Amazing summer weather may abruptly change to rain and storms, and the nights suddenly become cool.

What to do in Spain in September

The not too hot September is perfect for relaxing on the beaches of Spain and for excursion holidays. Regarding the first, Spain certainly boasts beaches on numerous picturesque islands and beaches in mainland towns.

But what is much more interesting about this country is its architecture and cultural heritage. Literally every city in this country is a real work of art, with palaces, basilicas, old monasteries, and cozy streets. In terms of historical and cultural value, the architectural heritage of Spain is second only to Italy among all European countries.

Nature of Spain also very good. For example, if you are not too lazy to go to northern part Spain, then reward yourself with wonderfully inspiring views mountain landscapes with lakes and horses and sheep grazing peacefully on the slopes.
Take at least Lake Ibon de Truchas, which is located in the mountains at an altitude of 2144 meters above sea level (you can get to it by lift).

If not to the mountains, then to the parks. In Blanes, visit the amazing Botanical Garden "Marimurtra" and "Pina de Rosa", in Seville go to Alcazar Gardens, in Madrid there is Sabatini Gardens.

About Mallorca I can write for a very long time, because this island is famous for its calm atmosphere (which will be even calmer in September) and nature. For example, almost all tourists prefer to go on an excursion to Dragon Caves with underground lakes.

Nightlife in Spain it's amazing how good she is. Since the nights in September are still more or less warm, a feeling of euphoria does not leave tourists and local residents. So, you will definitely have a chance to wander around local bars and clubs, dance, drink aromatic Spanish wine, and walk until the morning. The most party cities in Spain are Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Seville. On Ibiza, the main party island, the main tourist flow in Ibiza is observed from May to the end of October, so in September you will have a great chance to feel this atmosphere of freedom and fun. In general, there is a lot of entertainment, views and excursions in Spain, for every taste and budget.

Free during the festival music concerts(music from traditional to modern), which take place in squares (in particular Plaza Catalunya and Plaza Sant Jaume), as well as a number of traditions. For example, people dance the sardana (a traditional Catalan dance) and come to see the castells, or “human castles,” human towers traditionally erected during festivals in Catalonia. Plus nightly fireworks and scary сorrefoc(this is when a group of people will dress like devils and burn fireworks, spinning to the sound of drums in traditional dance gralla).
