We all know that there are four seasons, but how do you say spring, summer, autumn, or winter in Spanish?
The seasons of the year in many countries do not coincide with the countries that study Spanish, that is, when it is winter, in Argentina, Paraguay, Peru, etc. It is summer. While in Europe it is summer, in these countries it is winter.
Besides, many countries do not have seasons as defined as in most of the Anglo-Saxon or Asian countries, as it is the case of the Central American countries that speak Spanish, such as Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, etc., which enjoy a temperate climate most of the year.
Today you will learn how to say each of the seasons, with some examples and vocabulary related to each season of the year.

The article in the seasons in Spanish (La, El)
You can add the article (La, El) or not before the season in Spanish.
For example, these two sentences are correct:
- En primavera suelo salir de vacaciones
In spring I usually go on holiday
- En la primavera suelo salir de vacaciones
In the spring I usually go on holiday
But in this phrase:
- La primavera es mi estación favorita del año.
- Primavera es mi estación favorita.
In this case, the first sentence is correct, but the second sounds funny, so it is better to add the article.
My advice is to always use the article (La, El)
- La primavera
- El verano
- El otoño
- El invierno
