The majority of holidaymakers visit the Valencia region between May and September. At this time of year, days are warm and sunny, and rainfall is fairly uncommon. If you want to talk specifics, you’re looking at highs of around 30 to 35 degrees in July and August, and temperatures in the mid to high 20s either side of that. Come here in spring or autumn, and you can expect cooler temperatures and a bit more rain. That said, it’s usually a good deal warmer than it is in the UK.

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. It’s also a good idea to get a European Health Insurance Card – or EHIC – before leaving Ireland. Though it’s not a substitute for travel insurance, it entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Spanish nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment.
