FAQs
Some warm winter destinations in Europe include the Canary Islands (Spain), where temperatures remain mild all year round, and Madeira or Azores islands (Portugal), known for its pleasant climate. Additionally, the southern regions of Spain, Italy, and Greece offer relatively warm winters, making them popular choices for winter sun seekers.
In terms of temperature, you can enjoy the Canary Islands all year round. However, if you prefer to avoid crowds, it is recommended to visit during spring or autumn. Due to the temperatures, winter is the main season in the islands. Additionally, a trip during spring will allow you to relish the vibrant display of tropical flowers.
In the Azores, winter weather is typically mild and relatively stable. Average temperatures during the winter months (December to February) range from around 14 to 18 ºC (57 to 64 ºF). While there may be occasional rain and cloudy days, the Azores generally experience a marine climate that doesn't see extreme temperature fluctuations.
The warmest part of Spain in winter are the Canary islands and the southern region, particularly Andalusia. Cities like Seville, Malaga, and Granada enjoy mild temperatures, making them popular winter destinations with daytime averages ranging from 15 to 20 ºCelsius (59 to 68 ºF).
