Southern Spain, and especially the Andalusia region, is known for its sun-drenched climate. For most of the year the weather is pleasantly warm, with long summers and mild winters. In summer temperatures easily rise above 30°C, while nights are often much more pleasant at around 18–22°C. Even in April, May, September and October it usually stays sunny and dry — perfect for beach days, walks through the picturesque villages or discovering the beautiful nature and coastline. Thanks to the many hours of sunshine and moderate humidity, the climate feels very comfortable. In short: if you love sun, sea and a warm holiday, southern Spain is the place for you!
