Where is it sunny today in Spain?

The Canaries in winter

From November to March the Canary Islands are the surest sunshine in Europe, but not every part of each island. The trade wind brings cloud to the northern slopes of Tenerife and Gran Canaria, so the south — Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje, Maspalomas, Puerto Rico — usually gets more sun than Puerto de la Cruz or Las Palmas. Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are low enough for the clouds to pass over them, and are the driest and sunniest of all, if often windy.

The mainland and the Balearics

In summer the whole Mediterranean coast is usually sunny, and the ranking is decided by the odd storm, a sea mist or a hazy day. In spring and autumn the differences grow: the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca tend to stay brighter than the Costa Brava or the Balearics, and northern Spain can be grey while the south is clear.

How to read the list

Each resort shows the hours of sun left today, the time of the sunniest stretch and the day's high. Late in the day, when there is little daylight left, the list switches to tomorrow. It is a forecast, so it can be wrong: the webcam next to each resort is the proof.
