Spain Weather
The first and most important thing to say about the weather in Spain is that it is by no means uniform. Spain is a big country, and there is quite a difference between the climate of north and south. But it is also a very mountainous country in parts, and the weather is considerably influenced by altitude – it would probably be quite a surprise for many people to learn that Granada, in Andalusia, is thinking of bidding for the Winter Olympic Games!
Green Spain
Spain can be divided into two parts on the basis of its climate. The northern part, especially the northwest, is exposed to the Atlantic Ocean and fenced in on the south and east by several different mountain chains. This results in a relatively wet and humid climate, and this part of Spain is known as “la España Verde” (Green Spain).
