Colombia → Spain
Moving to Spain from Bogotá?
The honest version — the climate you'd actually be trading for, and how hard it is to get home. No brochure gloss: just SpainScore's climate normals, Spain's own population register and the real direct-flight map.
The climate you'd be trading for
Swap Bogotá for a typical Spanish city and, on the national picture, you're looking at about 3°C colder winters, 2.5 fewer hours of December daylight, about two-thirds the rain and about 13°C hotter summers. But "Spain" isn't one climate — it runs from the wet Atlantic northwest to the dry Mediterranean southeast, so the honest answer depends on where:
- Vigo Galicia · Atlantic
vs Bogotá: about 2°C colder winters, 3 fewer hours of December daylight, about twice the rain and about 8°C hotter summers. mild, green and wet — Spain’s Atlantic northwest.
- Alacant Costa Blanca · Mediterranean
vs Bogotá: 2.5 fewer hours of December daylight, about a third of the rain and about 14°C hotter summers. dry, warm and sunny — the Mediterranean southeast.
- Málaga Costa del Sol · Mediterranean
vs Bogotá: 2 fewer hours of December daylight, about half the rain and about 14°C hotter summers. warm winters on the southern coast.
Climate deltas compare 1991–2020 normals for Bogotá (Meteostat) against the same 30-year measure for each Spanish anchor. Rounded to whole degrees and bucketed rain ratios on purpose — coarse enough that measurement noise can't flip the direction.
Getting back to Bogotá
Direct flights home run year-round from 2 Spanish airports:
- Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD)
- Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN)
Direct-route map from SpainScore's airport dataset (Spanish-departure scheduled routes). "Getting home easily" is one of the things the quiz can weight for you.
