Best time to visit Balearic Islands
Best time of year to visit Balearic Islands
The Balearic Islands, located in the western Mediterranean Sea, are Spain's premier destination for partying and vacationing. The best time to visit the islands is from May to October when the weather is warm and sunny. However, please keep in mind that the time from August to early September is also the most crowded period for this destination. Late June means not only that the sea has warmed up, but it's also the time for Festival of Sant Joan. In July flowers like bougainvillaea, oleander, and hibiscus reach their peak bloom. In September, don't miss the Grape Harvest Festival on Mallorca. It's also the perfect season to try freshly caught delicious dolphin fish, also known as mahi-mahi or dorado. If you want to enjoy the silence, green hues, and lower prices, book your trip to the Balearic Island for winter months.
