22 October, 2025October has become one of the most inspiring months for travelling in Spain. With forests in full transformation and milder temperatures, rural destinations are becoming ideal havens for those seeking disconnection and postcard-perfect scenery. From the north to the south, there are villages that unfold their beauty in autumn amidst mountains, valleys and cobbled streets.
Five towns stand out for offering the essence of the season: nature, heritage and gastronomy in perfect harmony. Places where travellers can enjoy leisurely strolls, surrounded by reddish and golden tones that invite you to stroll and take photographs.
