Spain is a magnet for tourists all over the world, whether they are looking for soak under the sun on Costa del Sol or dance the night away in Ibiza. Tourism in Spain is definitely big business.
Tourist season
July and August represent the high of the tourist season but in many places the weather will be too hot to withstand. Equally popular are early summer and the beginning of autumn as the weather is not very hot but tourists can still enjoy the beach.
Off-season? Well, there isn’t a bad time to visit Spain but generally the winter months (November to February) can be rainy and cold (island) so there isn’t that much tourist activity.

Major tourist attractions in Spain
Spain is most famous for the beaches on Costa del Sol, for those on the Canary Islands and for the party island of Ibiza. But it doesn’t mean that other kinds of attractions don’t draw tourists. The bullfights and the Pamplona running with the bulls festival, the soccer matches and last, but definitely not least, the historical sites and museums, all have their fans among those traveling to Spain.
Most people –and particularly those headed for the beaches- will book a holiday in Spain planning to stay for a week or two in a resort. But it’s worth it to check out other places even if you choose a day trip to a different location or taking a tour and exploring the places near-by where you stay.
Undoubtedly the most popular tourist destinations are: Costa del Sol, Ibiza and the Canary Islands.
Best beaches
There are very good beaches all over Spain. It’s a matter of deciding if you like the crowded beaches on Costa del Sol or the secluded beaches on Menorca.

Nightlife
Nightlife is vibrant all over Spain but, without a doubt, Ibiza is the number one island to head to if you are into partying. Known as a party island for decades, Ibiza is rivaling with two other major party locations: Rimmini (Italy) and Mykonos (Greece).
