📝 Notes

🏖️ Cities, Coasts, and Balance

Spain offers a wide spectrum — from dense cultural cities to quiet coastal towns and rural villages. Major destinations can feel overcrowded, especially in summer, but stepping slightly away from the main routes often reveals a much calmer and more authentic side of the country.

🌦️ Climate Considerations

Summers can be extremely hot in inland regions. Spring and autumn are often the most comfortable periods for exploration, particularly in cities.
