A spring journey
Spring can suit cultural touring and countryside stays before the busiest beach period. Higher routes may still be affected by winter conditions, and a warm afternoon on the coast says little about a mountain road. Confirm walking access and avoid making every day depend on dry weather.
An autumn journey
Autumn can combine cultural visits with time by the coast when conditions allow. Daylight shortens as the season advances, and boat services or accommodation may reduce operation. Rain can change gorge and trail access quickly.
Choose flexible bases
Use towns with several things to do nearby and reserve the most weather-sensitive outings with clear cancellation terms. For either season, check the forecast and local restrictions close to departure rather than treating a seasonal description as a guarantee.
