What is the best time to visit Spain?

Spain is a large country with diverse climatic conditions depending on the region. For this reason, the best time of year depends completely on where you go and what you prefer. For example, northern areas such as the Pyrenees Mountains reach negative temperatures in the winter, while southern regions such as Malaga don’t typically experience anything under 15 degrees Celsius. If you visit Spain during the summer, then you will certainly have warm temperatures regardless of the area. However, if you want to travel during the spring, autumn or winter, then the south or the Canary Islands are great places for pleasant temperatures year round.

Should I charter a private yacht with or without a skipper?

On Scansail, many yachts come with the option to include a skipper. While it is possible to book a bareboat charter in Spain, there are many advantages to having a skipper and/or crew on board with you. Firstly, a professional skipper can take care of all the sailing, docking and anchoring of the yacht. This means that you can focus on relaxing while they handle all the technical aspects of sailing. Moreover, they will be familiar with the local region, meaning they can tailor your journey to ensure you see more of what you like and less of what you don’t. Finally, for the ultimate luxury experience, you can add cleaning and cooking services to your yacht charter and make it an unforgettable experience.
