The Best Places to Visit in Spain in June

June is the start of the tourist season in Spain, with temperatures ranging from mild to warm and even hot, June falls at the beginning of Spain's long, warm summer. It's a great time of year to visit Spain and sightsee around the coastal areas, enjoy the beaches, and take in some of the incredible sights around the country.

We recommend starting your trip to Spain in June in Madrid, and then visiting Barcelona for sightseeing, and winding down in Mallorca and/or Ibiza to enjoy Spanish island life by the beach.

1. Take a Walking Tour of Madrid and Sample Spanish Traditional Tapas

Given that most international flights come into Madrid, you will likely start your travels through Spain from there. We highly recommend spending a few days in Madrid at least, since there is a lot to see and do.

For those with a keen interest in architecture, we suggest  wandering around the city and visiting the Royal Palace of Madrid (read our piece about visiting Spain in February for more information about the palace), the Palacio de Cibeles, the Palacio de Cristal, as well as the Plaza Mayor.

If you want to learn more about Spain's history there are the Prado Museum with a focus on art, the National Archaeological Museum, the Naval Museum, the National Museum of Romanticism, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum. With plenty of options, there's something for everyone's interest.

Afterwards check out some local restaurants for tapas. For suggestions of what to eat, visit our page about visiting Spain in March.

2. Visit the Sagrada Familia and Enjoy the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona

The Sagrada Familia is probably one of the best-known Catholic churches in the world, and is definitely worth a visit. The creation, designed by famous architect Gaudí, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and work is still being done to complete it around a 100 years later.

You are recommended to visit the church and tour the inside as well as have a walking tour around the outside, as an expert will be able to explain the beautiful decorate spires and facades. Global Highlights can help you arrange a tour of the church and the area, to ensure you don't miss out on any of the interesting history behind it.

Barcelona is also home to the Spanish Grand Prix, which is held between June 21 and 23 in 2024, with 2025 dates still to be announced. For fans of Formula 1 this is worth a visit, as the Spanish Grand Prix is one of the oldest races. Its first race was in 1913, but it was disrupted for ten years after that as a result of World War I's destruction.

3. Explore Mallorca's Sea Caves by Kayak

Beat Spain's summer heat with a visit to the island of Mallorca, a scenic Mediterranean island home to beautiful beaches and resorts and warm coastal breezes. We recommend finding a beautiful beach, and spending some time relaxing after your adventures in the rest of the country.

Caga Agulla is a beautiful blue-water beach surrounded by pine trees and mountains. There are options for water sports there, but visitors also come to swim in the clean and clear waters. On the southeast coast of the island there is Cala Santanyí, a white sand beach where you can rent a kayak and go for a paddle out.

We recommend getting a kayak and seeing the caves that surround the island, which is also a great point from which to admire the cliffs. Alternatively snorkeling is also a great way to explore the waters, and you'll see lots of colorful sea animals.

4. Party in Ibiza (or Don't Party, But Relax Instead!)

Ibiza is a Balearic Island well known for its amazing nightlife and electronic dance music, which attracts large numbers of holiday-makers in the summer. If you love dancing and music, it's worth spending some of your time in Ibiza.

However, Ibiza is also a beautiful island with lots of history and beautiful beaches, drawing tourists that prefer to sightsee and relax rather than party as well.

We suggest visiting Castell de Eivissa, and walking along to the lighthouse at Punta d'es Moscarter. There is also an interesting old defense tower called Torre de ses Portes, not too far from Cala Pluma, a beautiful beach.

The Renaissance walls of the old town of Ibiza City are also worth a visit since they are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as Sa Caleta, the remains of the first Phoenician settlers who founded a port in Ibiza in 654 BC. Following this, Ibiza was under the control of Carthage, producing dye, salt, fish sauce and wool, with trading stations along its coastline, which is part of the reason why the island flourished.

Crowds and Costs for Traveling in June

June is usually when Spain starts to get busier, with lots of tourists attracted to the dry, warm weather. Prices for accommodation are generally higher in Spain during the summer, particularly in places like Mallorca and Ibiza, so we do recommend planning ahead.

Between June 23 and 24, it is also worth noting that if you are visiting Alicante, Valencia, or other cities in Catalunya, the Festival of St. John the Baptist is celebrated and you can expect some closures throughout the cities on June 24 as it is a holiday. On the evening of June 23, you can also see some fireworks shows.

What to Wear in June

Spain's weather in June is warm and dry, and we recommend wearing light colored clothing in natural fabrics. Linen trousers and shirts are a good idea to pack, as well as summer dresses, skirts, and shorts. You likely won't need to wear a jumper or extra layer at all, with the only exception being the evenings in Madrid at the beginning of the month, where the temperature could still drop slightly to around 16°C (61°F) at night.

If you're going to the beach, swimwear is a must since the sea temperature is quite inviting for a swim in June. We do also suggest packing lots of sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, since the days are long in June with plenty of sun.
