If you start your trip in Sevilla in October, you'll enjoy lots of sun. The weather is usually warm and dry, about 31°C during the day and 19°C at night. There's hardly any rain.

As you move north through places like Guillena and Almadén de la Plata, it's still mostly sunny. You might have a few cloudy days or a bit of rain. Daytime temperatures are in the high 20s to low 30s°C, and it's about 18°C at night.

In Mérida and further north, the weather is milder. You'll have sunshine and some light rain. The average daytime temperature falls to the mid-20s°C, and it's around 16°C at night.

In the Castilla y León region, the weather changes slightly. Expect some sunny days, a bit of rain, and possibly even heavy rain. The average daily high is now in the low 20s°C, and it gets down to 12°C at night.

The weather is cooler and rainier as you go through Salamanca to Zamora. Daytime temperatures are in the high teens, and it's around 9°C at night. You'll have a mix of sunny, cloudy, and rainy days.

Finally, in Galicia, it's rainy in November. You'll see rain often, sometimes light, medium, or heavy. It's colder here, with the high temperatures in the lower teens and about 7°C at night. But there will still be plenty of sunny days.
