Location details & connectivity with the world
Spain is a country in Southwestern Europe with some pockets of territory across the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic Ocean. Its continental European territory is situated on the Iberian Peninsula. Its territory also includes two archipelagoes: the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, and the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea.
The African enclaves of Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, make Spain the only European country to have a physical border with an African country (Morocco). Several small islands in the Alboran Sea are also part of Spanish territory. The country’s mainland is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea except for a small land boundary with Gibraltar; to the north and northeast by France, Andorra, and the Bay of Biscay; and to the west and northwest by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean.
Climate/Best time for getting married in Spain
The Spanish Costa Blanca has an exceptionally mild climate, with one of the highest numbers of sunshine days, the lowest number of rain days, and the best climate in the whole of Europe; therefore, it’s definitely one of the best places to get married abroad! From April to October, there is a very little chain of rain, so it’s safe to choose a wedding date, but even in the rest of the year, temperatures can be extremely mild, so winter weddings in Spain are definitely an option.

Visa & legal formalities for weddings in Spain
Under the principles in the Spanish Civil Code, both parties must be over 18 years old and consenting individuals. Both civil and religious weddings are considered legal, but to qualify for a civil ceremony you must meet the two-year residency requirements. That means that at least one party of the couple must be a legal resident in Spain for two years prior to the wedding day. For a civil wedding, you need to contact your local Civil Registrar’s office ahead of time and apply directly to them. You’ll likely need to provide the following:
- Valid passports for both parties
- Original birth certificates
- Proof that both parties are free to marry, which you may need to obtain from your home country’s Embassy or Consulate
- Divorce/Annulment/Death Certificates, if applicable
- Certificate of residence (at least one of the parties must be a resident in Spain for at least 2 years, or be a Spanish citizen to qualify for a civil marriage in Spain)
