Bilbao Weather - The best of northern Spain
When considering when to go to Bilbao, do consider spring and autumn. The city has a fraction of the summer tourists, the city’s cultural life is in full swing, and the surrounding hills are at their most colourful. In common with the rest of the north coast of Spain, there is always the chance of an overcast day and rain. However, the weather in Bilbao and the Basque Country is milder and much more reliable than more westerly regions of northern Spain like Asturias and Galicia. Bilbao rainfall is spread fairly evenly through the year. Early spring tends to be drier than late autumn, and summer drier than winter.

Besides, the city’s tempting array of cafes, bars, tapas bars and restaurants provide plenty of enticing refuges from any inclement weather. Winter temperatures in Bilbao are mild.

Really cold weather and snow is extremely uncommon. With a little luck you will enjoy one of Bilbao’s beautifully crisp, sunny winter weekends.
