Summer in Spain is spectacular, but the intense heat in inland cities requires a strategy. Here are the best recommendations to enjoy your stay at our hotels without suffering from the high temperatures.
Summer in Spain is characterized by sunny days and high temperatures, especially inland. The key to enjoying a memorable trip to Seville, Granada, or Madrid is strategic planning.
The "2:00 PM to 6:00 PM Rule": Avoid outdoor activities during these hours. This is when solar radiation is most direct and temperatures are at their highest.
Smart tourism:
Mornings: Dedicate them to monuments that require a lot of walking, such as the Alhambra in Granada, the Royal Alcázars, or the Royal Palace of Madrid. We recommend starting as soon as they open.
Afternoons: This is the ideal time for museums, art galleries, or historic churches, which usually maintain cool temperatures inside.
Evenings: Plan your tapas routes and urban walks when the sun goes down. Spanish cities have a vibrant nightlife and the atmosphere from 9:00 PM onwards is much more inviting.
Water and water parks are indispensable protagonists in summer.
Aquatic adrenaline: Places like Isla Mágica in Seville or Aquopolis in Madrid are a must-stop for those looking for heart-stopping slides and premium relaxation areas. It is the star plan to disconnect and release adrenaline.
High-altitude pool time: In Madrid and Seville, the offering of Rooftop Pools has transformed the city. Spending the afternoon on a rooftop with a resident DJ, cocktail in hand, and views of the skyline is the modern definition of summer luxury.
The Spanish summer is the stage for the best cultural events.
Music festivals: From north to south, the nights are transformed. In Granada, summer festivals integrate classical and modern music in unique natural spaces. Sometimes even at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada!
Open-air cinema: Madrid is famous for its summer cinemas in historic spaces such as the Cine de Cibeles or the giant drive-in cinemas. It is the perfect plan: pleasant temperature, a new release or a classic movie, and dinner served directly.
Open-air nights: Imagine attending an acoustic concert while walking through the Alcázar Gardens under the moonlight, or taking a stroll observing the vegetation and lakes of the Retiro before it closes at 12:00 AM. These are immersive experiences that you can only live in summer.
Nightly "Tapas" routes: In Granada, the tapas culture is a religion. Walking through the Plaza Nueva area at dusk, entering establishments where the temperature is perfect and the atmosphere is electric, is mandatory.
Summer markets and street parties: Every neighborhood in Madrid celebrates its festivities during July and August. They are popular parties with music, dancing, local food, and a welcoming atmosphere that lasts until dawn. It is the most authentic way to get to know the city!
