Price and when to book
Prices range between €631 and €961 depending on dates and availability. The earlier you book from now, the better: fares tend to rise as departure approaches. If you see the ticket close to €630–750, don't hesitate. Search during shoulder season (outside Spanish school holidays) to find the best deals.
Airline and stops
Ryanair operates this route with 1 stop on the way. It's not a direct flight, but the Irish carrier keeps fares highly competitive. Expect a single layover, which adds journey time but slashes costs compared to direct alternatives.
Best time to travel
Cape Town is a year-round destination, though Southern Hemisphere summer (December to February) draws peak tourism and higher prices. Shoulder months (April–May and September–October) offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds. November is also appealing: local spring with lighter passenger numbers.
What to do when you arrive
Cape Town is a spectacular coastal city: Table Mountain is unmissable (take the rotating cable car for 360° views), stroll the V&A Waterfront, swim at Camps Bay or Bloubergstrand, and see penguins at Boulders Beach. The airport is 20 km from the centre; bus, private transfer, or car rental all available.
