The weather in Northern Spain
To most people the first image that comes to their minds when they think of Spain is the Mediterranean sea; a "paradise" of good weather and sun all year round. Spain is a rather large country and its Northern regions enjoy a balanced four season climate. This means winters with rain and sometimes snow and warm and sunny summers in which, however, visitors should be prepared for cloudy days at some point during their vacation stay.

The best itinerary for a holiday in Northern Spain
With so much to see and enjoy it will not be simple to decide what to include and what to visit. We recommend at least 7 days to enjoy the North of Spain from its borders to France and Portugal. The region is very ecletic and offers elegant cities, stunning beaches, fantastic green areas and mountains and a wealth of heritage... Add to this its restaurants, taverns and bars and you will start considering 2 weeks instead of one.
We strongly recommend this post which provides with a good summary of things to do and see in North of Spain.
