Here's a working example of my big table with images on it:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}

% Relevant packages
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lscape}

% Other packages I'm using
\usepackage[spanish,es-nodecimaldot]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{amsfonts,subfig,sidecap} 
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{booktabs,cancel,cleveref,colortbl,csquotes,multirow,listings,pgfplots}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage{environ}
\usepackage[section]{placeins}
\usepackage{titlesec, blindtext}
\usepackage[labelfont=sc]{caption}  
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=authoryear,sorting=nyt,maxbibnames=99]{biblatex}

% Document
\begin{document}

\begin{landscape}
  \begin{table}[hbt]
     \centering
     \begin{tabular}{ccccc}

        ~ & DJF & MAM & JJA & SON\\

       (A) & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image}\\

       (B) & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image}\\

       (C) & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image}\\

       (D) & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image} & \includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image}\\

    \end{tabular}
    \caption{The caption of this very long table.}
    \label{tab:Longtable}
   \end{table}
\end{landscape}

\end{document}

Output

As you can see, the text that appears next to the images ((A), (B), (C) and (D)) are not "vertically" aligned or centered with the figures next to them. How could I fix this?

And I'll ask a second question here since it's related to this one. The caption that appears in this table is "Cuadro 1" (Spanish for Table 1). Is there a way to change only this one caption to "Figura 1"(Figure 1)? I'm asking because I actually didn't want to do a table, but I didn't know how to produce this kind of graphics using the figure environment. And since I'm writing a very long document this would be a problem for referencing them later.

Thanks a lot in advance!

EDIT: Clarification. My problem with caption is the following. Since it's a table environment the caption is, as intended, a "Table" caption. However, I would love to change this caption to a "Figure" caption, as if I was making a caption on a Figure (but using a table environment).

So the idea would be to produce the same image as above, but instead of "Table X" show "Figure Y" (and get the number Y from the corresponding number of figure instead of the number of table.

Eg: If I had 3 tables and 5 figures in my document, I would like to produce the image above and caption it as "Figure 5" instead of "Table 3".

    Perhaps the easiest fix (in the sense of making the fewest changes to the file you already have) would be adding \usepackage{adjustbox} and then changing each \includegraphics[scale=0.25] to \adjincludegraphics[valign=M, scale=0.25]. For the language issue, you should add an option like british to babel and then try \selectlanguage{british} after \begin{landscape} (the environment will keep the language selection local to that group -- so pay attention to what else is going inside that environment. – jon Mar 2 '17 at 4:00
  • Thanks a lot for the fix on the text alignment. The caption problem I have is actually not a language problem, but a "caption" problem. I edited the post for clarification! – lanadaquenada Mar 2 '17 at 4:11

    @lanadaquenada with regard to the caption descriptor: LaTeX is not preventing you from using a tabular inside a figure environment (instead of table), when you just need "Figure X" instead of "Table X". – hakaze Mar 2 '17 at 6:13
  • @jon I just tested your suggestion and it works like a charm, thank you! – lanadaquenada Mar 2 '17 at 13:29
