The lowest temperatures are expected in northern Spain and parts of the island of Mallorca, according to the national weather service, Aemet.
Snow is expected above 500-meter altitudes in the northern provinces and at around 1,000m in the southeast.
Cities such as Burgos and Soria are preparing for temperatures of no more than 3°C, rising to 5°C in Segovia and 6°C in Huesca, León, Palencia, Pamplona and Vitoria.
Winds will be gusting up to 90km/h in the Pyrenees and the Balearic Islands. Menorca and the Mediterranean coastline are also on alert for heavy waves.
