This would really depend on whether your house is insulated and/or has been built with a double wall cavity. Modern houses often have larger windows which can heat up the house so blinds or shutters will keep out some heat.
If you have an old house, they usually have thick walls but can still get pretty hot in the summer. Normally houses here never were built with a loft space which you could insulate and what used to be the upstairs storage area in an old cottage or farm, now is converted into bedrooms. ...

... It seems a logical thing to do, but such bedrooms can get very hot even at night, being directly beneath clay roof tiles which have absorbed all heat of the day. Flat roofed houses have the same problem if not insulated.
Air conditioning is expensive to run unless it is is solar powered, so many people opt for ceiling fans or free standing fans which at least you can put away somewhere when the heat dies down. I personally think installed wall mounted air conditioning units are rather unattractive things and unsuitable for many old rustic properties. On the plus side, inland Spain is cooler at night than in the coastal resorts.
Many thanks Juanida, you mentioned many good points that I didn’t think about. I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
