“Dressing for Dream Destinations” is a travel series that takes us across the world to daydream about what we’d wear to various locations. (See previous posts on what to wear in Russia, Morocco, South Korea, India, and Australia.)

Spain is probably on your bucket list of countries to visit due to its alluring culture and beautiful weather. This European country is home to a rich variety of diverse cultures and geography containing 17 autonomous regions. Spain holds the third-largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

If you’re wondering what to wear in Spain, here’s what I’d pack to visit popular parts of the country:

What to Wear in: Madrid 

Madrid is the capital of Spain and is the third-largest city in the European Union (after London and Berlin, respectively). Madrid blends modern culture with historical buildings like no other city. Must-visits include the Prado Museum, Plaza Mayor, and (just a few blocks away) the Puerta del Sol. Take a stroll in Retiro Park and eat to your heart’s content at the beautiful and historic cast-iron-and-glass market, the Mercado de San Miguel.

While many locals dress sharply, many younger locals dress in a relaxed, Bohemian style.

Here’s some outfit inspiration for a blended combination of both styles so you’ll never look out of place.

This maxi dress is gorgeous and easy to pack. A sturdy set of heels and a cross-body bag will be useful for a whole day walking on cobbled streets. A turquoise necklace will break up the monotony of an all-black outfit.

What to Wear in: Barcelona

Barcelona is the 2nd largest city in Spain and the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia. Both Spanish and Catalan are official languages in this gorgeous coastal city.
