Yes — April is one of Spain's strongest months. Regionally varied: Mediterranean coast hot and dry in summer with mild winters; the north cooler and wetter; the interior hotter in summer and colder in winter; the Canary Islands spring-like year-round

Spring: Official tourism guidance highlights spring for cities, culture and nature, before peak heat. Summer: July and August are the hottest months and the peak beach and festival period. Autumn: The other officially highlighted window: warm sea and easier sightseeing conditions. Winter: Mild on the southern coast, cold in the interior, and spring-like in the Canary Islands.
