The best cities to visit during the December holiday break in Spain
There are some destinations in Spain that improve with the cold in December. Enjoy the December holiday break to the fullest with a good choice.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Organizing a trip to Las Palmas is a good choice any time of the year, but even more so in winter. It is one of the best destinations for the December holiday break. After all, swapping your coat for a swimsuit in December is something you can do in very few destinations so close to home. The ancient Greeks aptly named the Canary Islands the “Fortunate Islands.” Because of the climate, but also because of the incredible landscape of volcanoes, dunes, and sea. Another plus for choosing to spend the Constitution Bridge in the Canary Islands is that you can enjoy the exclusive facilities of our Hotel Saaj Las Palmas. Located right on the Playa de las Alcaravaneras with exclusive views of the Bay. You will recognize it by its impressive façade that changes color with the sunlight. The best part: While temperatures drop below zero in the rest of Europe, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria you can sunbathe with highs above 20 degrees Celsius. One of the best places to go for the December holiday break, ideal for disconnecting from everything.
Seville
“That rain in Seville is a marvel” is a saying that has gone around the world. In recent years, an increasing number of travelers confirm that indeed, this magnificent Andalusian city improves with the cold. At the Hotel Al-Andalus Palace we await your visit: an oasis with over 15,000 m2 of gardens, an excellent restaurant, and just a stroll from the historic city center. We suggest you don’t miss the nativity scenes or the shops decorated for the occasion. Also, to avoid unnecessary lines or last-minute disappointments, it is recommended to book your tickets in advance to see La Giralda, the famous Seville Cathedral. The best part: In December, the average temperature ranges from 15 to 18 degrees Celsius. A very pleasant climate for sightseeing and enjoying terraces at any time of the day (much better than in summer when temperatures reach 40 degrees!). One of the most beautiful places to visit during the December holiday break in Spain.
Madrid
It must be the Christmas lights, but in December the capital of Spain has a very special atmosphere. Also, we offer you three hotels to choose from: the Hotel Puerta Madrid by Silken, a 4-star hotel near IFEMA, and the Serrano By Silken in the central Salamanca neighborhood. A great option to stay during the Constitution Bridge and fully enjoy Madrid during these vacation days: theater, museums, gastronomy, workshops, and many other places to visit during the December holiday break… The list of activities is always long, and the temperature is just right: an average of 10 degrees, neither too hot nor too cold. The best part: The weather doesn’t matter much, because in Madrid you will always find plenty to do during the December holiday break.

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is one of Spain’s jewels. With its rich history, impressive architecture, and vibrant nightlife, it is the perfect destination for a long weekend.

The Hotel Silken Ramblas, located in the heart of Barcelona, offers a unique experience with its modern design and attentive service. On the other hand, if you prefer a quieter, residential atmosphere, the Hotel Silken Sant Gervasi is the ideal choice for you.
