Alicante
If you're one for sunshine and pleasant weather, this Valencian province makes a brilliant choice. While autumn weather can be unpredictable, this part of the peninsula enjoys a perfect microclimate for a worry-free break.
You might be surprised to learn Alicante offers multi-activity adventures: choose between superb water sports and mountain experiences. Enjoy quad bike routes or buggy rides through mountainous terrain like the Selva de Altera or Sierra Helada with breathtaking Mediterranean views, or get your adrenaline fix navigating turquoise waters by kayak, paddleboard or jet ski near Tabarca Island or Cabo de la Nao.
Costa de la Luz & Costa del Sol
Another classic choice if you're after good weather. The mild climate nearly year-round means you might enjoy the season's final swims during this break.
At iconic beaches here, you'll likely spot groups learning or practising windsurfing and kitesurfing - we highly recommend joining in! Spots like Tarifa in Cádiz offer perfect conditions for these sports at this time of year.
We also suggest exploring the underwater world at sites like the Maro-Cerro Gordo Cliffs or famous Nerja Cave.
Cantabrian Coast
From the south we head to northern Spain where you'll find completely different weather. Autumn brings damper conditions that create truly spectacular landscapes.
The standout activity this season is surfing and water wind sports. Cantabria's northern beaches become a surfers' paradise with perfect waves. Top spots include: Somo Beach in Cantabria, Zarautz in Basque Country and Rodiles Beach in Asturias.
Huesca
This Aragonese province, nominated as the world's best adventure destination at the World Travel Awards, boasts incredible mountain scenery perfect for short breaks.
Visiting during the All Saints' break is ideal - along with spring, it's when river levels create perfect conditions for canyoning in Gorgol Ravine or rafting on the Ésera River.
Tenerife
Fancy a quick escape off the mainland? November tastes Canarian, and Tenerife will exceed expectations. Volcanic mountains against Atlantic blues create breathtaking landscapes worth exploring.
If you can't choose between beach and mountains, this destination solves your dilemma. We recommend diving, kayak routes along the Los Gigantes and Masca Cliffs, and ascending Mount Teide either hiking or on a buggy tour, without missing La Orotava's famous roads. Oh! And don't forget to try "papas arrugadas" with mojo sauce... Add it to your list!
Now you know the star destinations for this early November break. Made your choice? You'll find perfect options whether you want relaxing days off or a Halloween filled with adventure. What are you waiting for? Start exploring!
