Weather for Malaga

Best time to visit: 

Málaga’s mild winter temperatures make it a pleasure to visit at any time of the year – even while the rest of Europe is shivering, you’re a good chance of being able to stroll through town in a T-shirt. It’s hot in summer but not oppressively so – the seaside location saves it from becoming the furnace that inland cities like Sevilla can be. August is Spanish summer holidays and Málaga’s main fiesta time so things can get pretty crowded – book ahead. Off-season months like February or November can be pleasant times to explore the city, with low accommodation prices and not too many tourists.
