Balearic Islands
Hot days minus the crowds of July and August: what's not to love about these Spanish gems during the month of June?
June is a wonderful time to visit the Balearic Islands. Average daytime temperatures are high, rainfall is extremely low, and the sun-seeking throngs associated with July and August are nowhere to be seen.
What you get instead is a chance to explore these sun-kissed Spanish islands in the Mediterranean at a relaxed pace. Long stretches of beach offer a special spot, just for you, and the islands' attractions open their doors as the summer sun rains down on tourist hotspots.
