CLIMATE IN SPAIN
The climate varies tremendously in Spain, due to its large size. Visitors can generally expect a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters.
On the Mediterranean coast, the climate is moderate with low rainfall during the early springtime. Marbella's 'micro-climate' is a fact. It renders an average temperature of 19º C throughout the year. Sheltered by the high peaks of the Sierra Blanca (Marbella, 1.215 m and Juanar 1.160 m) the climate of Marbella is more soothing than in any other neighbouring location. Winters are mild with relatively little precipitation and summers are warm without being suffocating. It only rains occasionally from November thru March, the wind blows frequently from the East and the weather is sunny more than 320 days a year.
A sunny climate means that investing in property on the Costa del Sol will always be a good financial proposition.
