March trade-offs
- ↓Early March can still bring wet weeks: the spring transition is not guaranteed, and rainy days are common
- ↓Crowds beginning to build toward Easter: the Alcázar and Cathedral see noticeably more visitors than February
- ↓If Easter falls in late March, all April peak conditions apply — prices spike and accommodation fills weeks ahead
October trade-offs
- ↓Some October rain is likely — not the persistent grey of northern Europe, but occasional heavy showers that can last half a day
- ↓Daylight shortening toward 11 hours by month end: late afternoons require earlier dinner planning than in summer
- ↓The Alcázar and Cathedral remain popular; October is not the empty city of January — advance booking still advisable
