    Traveler Information

    • About Our Destination

      Climate

      In early June, the weather across the southern coast of Spain and parts of Portugal is generally warm, sunny, and pleasant. Typical daytime temperatures range from 75° to 80° Fahrenheit, while nights are cooler, around 60° to 63°. Given the warm and sunny weather in early June across these coastal cities in Spain and Portugal, you should pack lightweight clothing such as breathable shirts, shorts, dresses and swimwear. A light jacket or sweater may be useful for cooler evenings. Remember sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat for sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes for exploring. Check www.weather.com for the most current weather.

      Currency

      The official currency of Spain and Portugal is the Euro. Check www.xe.com for current rates.

      Languages

      As popular international tourist destinations, you’ll find that these cities have many restaurants, bars, and hotels with English-speaking staff.

      In the regions of Spain and Portugal we’ll visit, the primary languages spoken are Spanish and Portuguese. Spanish, or Catalan, is the official language of Spain and is widely used. In Gibraltar, although it is a British Overseas Territory and English is the official language, Spanish is also commonly spoken due to its proximity to Spain. In Lisbon, Portuguese is the official and dominant language. English is increasingly understood in tourist areas across all these cities, especially in hotels, restaurants and attractions.
