Dedicated sun seekers will love the Costa del Sol in summer when average temperatures reach 29°C, and swimmers and divers will enjoy the sea as it reaches 23°C and stays there. But for some people it may be a little too hot, despite the welcome afternoon sea breeze. Anyone who wants to avoid the hottest months should consider visiting during May or June, when the average maximum temperature is 23-27°C or September to early October, when the average maximum temperature is falling from 28°C to 23°C. At these times temperatures are warm enough to ensure that a beach holiday is extremely pleasant, but not too hot, and any winter rain is avoided.
Local time is GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the Saturday before the last Sunday in October).
