Malaga, Spain
Málaga is one of the warmest cities in mainland Europe, which makes it a great destination almost all year round.
Spring (March–May)
One of the best times to visit. The weather is warm but comfortable, and the city isn’t as busy as peak summer.
This is perfect for walking around the historic centre and exploring restaurants.
Summer (June–September)
Very hot, often 30–35°C or higher. The city is lively but also very busy.
If you visit in summer, plan sightseeing earlier in the morning and spend the afternoons near the sea.
Autumn (October–November)
Another excellent time to visit. The weather stays warm and the crowds are smaller.
It’s a great time for food, wine and relaxed evenings in tapas bars.
Winter (December–February)
Málaga stays mild even in winter, with many sunny days.
It’s quieter, which makes it perfect if you want to experience the city at a slower pace.
