Spain in the blog

From EUR 35 to 4,000: what gets you fined on beaches in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Croatia. Swimwear in town, speakers, early sunbeds and smoking - by country.

Spain is two seas and two seasons: a summer mainland from the Costa Brava to the Costa del Sol, the year-round Canary Islands out in the Atlantic, and the Balearics in between. We break the coasts and islands down by beaches, sea temperatures month by month, flights from Poland, weekly costs, the 2026 tourist taxes and the entry rules.

Autumn in the Canaries means three different holidays in almost identical weather: September with the warmest ocean and the last of summer, October as the sweet spot, November as the start of the winter-sun season. We compare the months on ocean temperature, prices, crowds and daylight, suggest which island suits each, and cover the 2026 entry rules and fees.

August is the priciest, most crowded month of the year. Here's how to beat it: 12 destinations from Poland with weather, prices and honest caveats. Mediterranean classics, heat-free Europe, and exotic spots at their seasonal best - Kenya, Bali, Zanzibar, Mauritius.

May is one of the most rewarding months to travel from Poland: the sea is warm, the crowds haven't arrived yet, and package prices are noticeably lower than in July or August. For international professionals living and working in Poland, it's a golden window: enough warmth for a genuine beach holiday, low enough prices to stretch a medium or high budget further than you'd expect.
