Andalucia: When to Go

Andalucía is a year-round holiday destination, although the weather is a bit unpredictable between November and Easter. The best months to visit are April through June, September and October, when the temperatures are mild and the countryside most colourful. Although July and August have the most festivals, they are also the stickiest (up to 45°C/113°F inland) and most expensive.

While the coastal climate is temperate, inland the winters are fierce and summers scorching. In July and August thermometers can hit a sweltering 36°C (97°F) in Seville and Córdoba. From December to February, top temperatures hover around 16°C (60°F) on the coast and 13°C (55°F) in Granada, where nights are close to freezing. Powerful winds come off the Atlantic, and the east of the region is dryer than the west. The strongest winds pummel Tarifa.
