MARBELLA IN SPRING, AUTUMN AND WINTER

For many reasons, most people opt to go to Marbella during July and August.

But, it is often better to avoid these months and go during the Spring, Autumn and Winter seasons. Out of season, Marbella is a fantastically vibrant place during both day and night.

Escape from the dreary weather of Northern Europe and get some sun.

THE AMBIANCE

During the week, it's business as usual as Spaniards go to work and the streets are filled with smartly dressed gentleman and dressed-to-kill women. At weekends, the Paseo Marítimo (promenade) is alive with Spanish and ex-pat families. It's great for strolling, running, skating, cycling or just for a good chat. Call at one of the charming cafes or traditional tapas bars. The chiringuitos alongside the promenade serve a great selection of delightful food and drink. In summer you can only do this in the early morning and late evening to avoid the beating sun, but out of season, this can be enjoyed at any time of day. Sunrise and sunset are often the most beautiful times of day. In autumn, winter and spring, sunrise is not too early and sunset arrives before we are tired out. The warm evenings makes eating out below the stars a treat. You’ll mostly be surrounded by the local Spanish people, probably in family groups, having a good time. This delivers the perfect opportunity to soak up some traditional Spanish culture in the restaurants and flamenco bars of the Old Town.

WEATHER

Escape the rigours of a Northern European winter! Because the resort is sheltered by the high peaks of the Sierra Blanca behind it, the climate of Marbella is milder than other locations in southern Spain.

April, May and June in Marbella are just delightful for a sunny holiday. Marbella's temperatures are seriously beginning to climb. This time of the year, Marbella is an excellent choice of holiday destination for anyone looking to enjoy some out of season sunshine. In May for example, you can expect to see around 9 hours of sun per day with day temperatures reaching 23°C (74°F).

Similarly in September and October, the sun continues to shine. It remains hot until the end of September. Even in October you can expect 7 hours of sun per day with similar temperatures to May - 23°C (74°F).

Winter is different; March and November are the wettest months with up to 7 days of rain per month. However, the rain, although heavy, soon dispels and you would be unlucky not to get 5 or 6 hours of sun per day on average even in January. It is still a lot better than the cold wet days in Britain and other parts of Europe that’s for sure.

Autumn, winter and spring can provide better weather for those outdoor activites like golf, fishing,walking, horse back riding etc.
