What is the weather like in Spain during March?

Spain's March weather provides comfortable conditions for exploring. Southern Spain sees temperatures of 15-20°C (59-68°F) with some rain while Madrid and central areas stay cooler at 12-17°C (54-63°F). Barcelona and coastal areas maintain steady temperatures around 15-18°C (59-64°F). This spring weather creates ideal conditions for outdoor activities from walking through Madrid's Retiro Park to exploring Barcelona's Las Ramblas. A TourRadar traveler noted "Spring weather made the walking tours in places like Plaza Mayor and Retiro Park extremely comfortable."

What special events can I experience in Spain during March?

March brings some of Spain's most distinctive celebrations. Valencia's Las Fallas Festival (March 15-19) fills the city with towering artistic monuments that end in a ceremonial burning. In Cordoba the orange trees burst into bloom as the Patio Route opens for visitors. The region of Cieza transforms with La Floracion when as a TourRadar traveler describes "the spring blossom is a symphony in shades of pink usually running from mid-February to late March." Hotels like Catalonia Granada or Exe Ciudad de Córdoba put visitors close to these seasonal events.

Which regions in Spain are best to visit in March?

Andalusia shines in March with its pleasant temperatures perfect for exploring Seville's Plaza de España Granada's Alhambra Palace and Cordoba's Mezquita. The Mediterranean coast including Barcelona and Valencia offers equally enjoyable conditions. Visitors can base themselves at properties like the Catalonia Barcelona Plaza or NH Valencia Las Artes. According to one TourRadar traveler: "March was the perfect time to visit multiple cities. We had great weather for walking tours in Seville and exploring the outdoor attractions."

How crowded are major tourist attractions in Spain during March?

March represents Spain's shoulder season when visitors can enjoy key attractions without peak summer crowds. While advance booking remains necessary for sites like Granada's Alhambra and Barcelona's Sagrada Familia wait times are shorter. One TourRadar traveler observed "March was perfect for exploring sites like Plaza de España in Seville and the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona without the summer crowds." Central hotels such as Melia Lebreros in Seville or Novotel Barcelona provide convenient access to main sites.

What are the best day trips to take in Spain during March?

March's moderate temperatures create excellent conditions for exploring beyond major cities. Popular excursions include visiting Toledo from Madrid exploring Ronda from Seville or ascending Montserrat from Barcelona. As shared by a TourRadar traveler "The March weather was perfect for exploring the White Villages and Ronda's dramatic clifftop setting." Hotels like Emperador Madrid or Front Air Congress Barcelona serve as convenient starting points for these adventures.

How much should I budget for a Spain trip in March?

March travel to Spain requires about 200-300 USD daily for mid-range experiences. Week-long organized tours cost between 800-2000 USD including lodging and select meals. Mid-range hotels such as Exe Ciudad de Córdoba or Catalonia Granada typically charge 100-150 USD per night. One TourRadar traveler confirms "March prices were reasonable compared to summer months especially for hotels and activities."
