Humidity
Thanks to the lack of rain, humidity levels are likely to be at one of their lowest levels of the year in February, usually around 74%. However with much lower winds, there is a chance of some early morning fog, which can effect up to 7 days of the month.
Santa Susanna Hotels In February
Hotel Alhambra
In the summer months Hotel Alhambra is always incredibly popular. But in February, there are usually some vacancies for those that wish to enjoy their hospitality. Situated on the main strip in Santa Susanna, this hotel really stands out thanks to its recent refurbishment and more modern image. For the warmer February evenings, an outdoor seating area is the perfect way to enjoy the delicious buffet style cuisine offered within the hotel. Or the inside restaurant is very welcoming when the weather turns cool. The rooms are well equipped and finished to a very high standard, yet the hotel still offers exceptional value for money. It's the perfect place to go for a cheap winter getaway.
El Pekinaire
El Pekinaire is situated in the neighbouring town of Calella and is the ideal place to stay for golf enthusiasts and their friends. This very welcoming B&B offers private balconies in all of their rooms which also boast both air conditioning and heating to combat any changes in the February weather. A tour desk within the hotel offers the opportunity to book any trips or excursions you choose including all the local golf courses.

And with satellite TV and a café style breakfast room on offer onsite, everything is taken care of at El Pekinaire.
Villa Togo
The four bedroom Villa Togo is a wonderful place to stay for a large group or family. Situated in Lloret de Mar, though it may be too cool to enjoy the private swimming pool, the real fireplace is always an instant draw. The BBQ and sundeck is ideal for those warmer days. While a fully equipped kitchen and large communal areas can be used when the climate is not so appealing. Just 1.5km from Water World and 900m from the beach, anyone who stays at Villa Togo is bound to have a good time.

Things To Do In Santa Susanna In February
Can Ratés Watchtower
The Can Ratés watchtower is a fabulous place to visit for a historical insight into Santa Susanna and a touch of culture at the same time. While the architecture and landscaping of the gardens beautifully reflect the historical significance of this town, the large space in the centre of the watchtower plays host to a range of concerts, operas and theatre events during the year. Can Rates is also famous for hosting the annual Santa Susanna Shakespeare Festival before it moved to Barcelona. But many of the players will still return to this town to put on the Bards most famous plays. Check before you visit and you too may get to enjoy the words of the great man in this exquisite venue.
Dali Theatre-Museum
If traditional art is more to your taste then head to Figueres, the birth place of Salvador Dali and now the location of the Dali Theatre-Museum that pays homage to his life's work. The site is open throughout February and offers an insight into the inspiration behind the man himself. The museum was built by Dali on the ruins of the municipal theatre and is now the largest surrealist object in the world. Enjoy one of the largest collections of surrealist art within its walls and appreciate the true talent of this incredible man. With regular temporary exhibitions and free guided tours, there's always something new to see.
