Although sneakers would otherwise be ideal, they are not the fashion in Spain. Film is expensive in Spain, and gasoline is a significant expense. Hotel prices vary with the season. Charges peak from July through August and during Christmas and Easter seasons. If a city hosts a special festival, such as Seville with its April Fair, top prices will also be charged at that time.
Significant savings are possible at other times of year.
Climate Spain's geography covers several different climates. Significant precipitation falls on the Cordillera Mountains surrounding this center, however, where six feet of moistness produce deep winter snow and good skiing. The northwest, however, is warmer in winter and cooler in summer than the central plateau. The most pleasant year-round temperatures in Spain are those of the eastern coast, from Catalonia to the Levant. Geographically a continuation of the French Riviera, it shares that climate, except for generally milder winters.
