Flights to Spain

When booking bargain flights to Spain, you will have a choice of landing destinations. Whether you take an international flight to El Prat International airport in Barcelonaor land at the Madrid Barajas Airport, you will find friendly people happy to welcome you to their country. Similarly, smaller, regional airports can take you on domestic flights within the country. Both El Prat and Barajas are big airports, replete with art displays and the usual variety of shops and cafes within their walls.

Aena’s airports have been among the first to put forward environmentally sound practices within the aviation industry.

Spain Weather

The north of Spain is usually quite a bit cooler than the south. In July and August, disembarking from flights to Spain is like stepping into a convection oven. High temperatures are the norm and exist alongside the calendar's biggest events! However, if you aren't attending any of the events that occur during the country's tourist season, you may want to look for bargain flights to Spain during the off-season winter months! Spring is when the weather begins to warm, making Spain's beaches tolerable, while fall is the time when the whether begins to cool to a moderate, enjoyable temperature.

Getting Around Spain

Spain, like many European countries, is easy to navigate. From the time you disembark from your international Spain flights to the time you leave, you'll find many transportation options. Renting a car is easy, but it is expensive and insulates you from the locals. If you aren't worried about your carbon footprint, there is an extensive network of local and regional airports to get you practically anywhere within the country quickly. While trains don't go everywhere, with a Eurail pass you can travel in relative comfort. Buses will take you just about anywhere you want to go as long as you learn to read the timetables. Tourists often shy away from the buses, giving you a chance to travel with the locals and go home with stories to tell.

Spain Attractions

After you've disembarked from your Spain flights, you'll be faced with so many things to do you won't be able to accomplish them all! Although every city and region has its own special attractions, here are just a few things to get you started:

  • The beaches of the Costa Brava, the sandy expanses of the Costa Brava known throughout the world
  • Vitoria Jazz festival, during which music fills the concert halls, musicians jam in clubs and polished, rehearsed performances go up on stage
  • The Mezquita de Cordoba, which was first a pagan Visigoth church, then a medieval mosque and finally a Catholic cathedral.
  • The Plaza de Espana in Seville, which boasts many ornate bridges, including one crossed by Princess Leia in Star Wars!
  • The Cathedral of Toledo, whose Gothic architecture is one of the most imposing cathedrals in Spain
