Is it warm in Spain during February?

[medusa]

One family holiday to Spain when I was little was Whitsun week (late May) and we happened upon a week of constant rain and cold winds, leading to many people going home early because the weather was just so bad and the hotel had no heating so the only place that anybody could get their children warm was under the hot air blower in the toilets on the ground floor.

 

It can happen anywhere

No, if you want sun in Feb go further south. Even the Cyprus is relatively cold. Head to the canaries as others have suggested.

 

I agree, just back from Boa Vista, Cape Verde-further south. Very warm..it is a 6 hour flight tho

[francypants]

what airline do you fly with. Because that is a fast plane. It is about 900 miles from southern Spain to Tenerife.

 

 

SEE POST 7.................... Their flight took 3 and a half hours to Canaries, whereas it can take 2 and a half hours to Spain depending which part you go to !!!!!!!!!

Fully agree Cape Verdi is hotter than the Carribean and a much shorter flight though its an expensive place to go to, so i'm told but not been myself

the distance, as the crow flies, from Malaga in southern Spain to Tenerife is 896 miles or 1435km. It is not my problem if you don't know how what speeds commercial aircraft travel at.

 

for your information, they almost never reach speeds over 1000km an hour, even on long haul intercontinental flights and usually they are travelling considerably slower than that.

 

Spain does not really have anything to do with any flight from the UK anyway as the flight path of a Canaries bound flight does not even pass over the Iberian peninsula. The Canaries are stuck out in the Atlantic Ocean, well west of Spain. A flight from Malaga in Spain to Tenerife would go in a south west direction, not a much closer to due south one a Manchester-Tenerife flight would.

Sat on the balcony an hour east of Malaga, it is sunny and +14c

well I'm on Cagayan de Oro, it is midnight and over 20. Either you genuinely like, warm weather or you don't. For some, southern Spain, is not enough.

Have flown to Lanzarote many a time and the flight path crosses northern Spain and most of Portugal (usually inland from Lisbon before hitting the coast in the south near Faro) - and the Canary Islands are south south west of Spain 100 - 150 miles off the coast of Morocco.

you might just touch, the northern edge of Portugal, but there is no way you are going to fly over southern Spain.

Who said southern Spain? Faro is on the south coast of Portugal - air traffic control there handles all the Canary Island bound flights.

 

Last time we came back a couple of years ago it was night time and we could see Lisbon away to the west.
