The location of the Canary Islands (facing the coast of Africa) produces mild temperatures of around 22oC year round with only small temperature differences between day and night, and whatever the season.
The Cantabrian Coast has a mild climate and high rainfall. The winters are mild and summer temperature will rarely go above 25oC.
In higher parts of the country such as the Pyrenees, the Cantabrian and Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Central and Iberian ranges experience a harsher climate with snow from the beginning of winter to the end of spring.
