It depends on the locale. For example, it almost never snows in Spain's southernmost territories, like the Canary Islands, Ceuta, or Melilla. Also it does not usually get cold enough to snow in most lowland areas in the south, such as Almería or Seville. However, in more elevated places in the south such as the Sierra Nevada or Grenada, it does snow. It also can snow in more northern areas of Spain, especially if they are mountainous or hilly, like Galicia, Basque country, or Catalonia (including the outskirts of Barcelona).

However, snow is not common in most regions of Spain. Additionally, with the exception of Galicia, precipitation in Spain in general is relatively low, so the odds of snowfall decrease on account of the low precipitation.

No

It snows frequently in the Pyrenees Mountains and in the Sierra Nevada in southern Spain. In fact, you can snow ski in southern Spain until late spring.
