Where does this data come from
Weather data for San Sebastian – Donostia was collected from the MERRA-2 project from NASA, which used a climate model combined with historical data from weather stations around the world to estimate what the conditions were like for every point on the Earth.
For all data based on historical data, we’ve averaged the data from the past 11 years (2010-2020). For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in March (e.g., March 1, March 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

15 great winter sun destinations that offer more bang for your buck
Gosh, it’s gloomy out there. The days are at their shortest and darkest, and the news is a constant cost of living doom-scroll. No wonder we are all craving a winter sun break.
Indeed, travel is something many are unwilling to forgo, despite these straitened times: Skyscanner’s Travel Trends 2023 survey found that 70 per cent of UK holidaymakers are planning to spend the same if not more on travel abroad next year.
But you will still want to choose wisely. We have done some digging and come up with 15 great destinations that offer both seasonal escapism and bang for your buck.
In order to find the best value, we have crunched the costs on the ground. By going where the living is cheap, you can minimise your chances of running up high bills for things like eating out, catching taxis and taking day trips. We have used data from the latest Post Office Travel Money report, which assesses the best-value winter sun spots.
Additional information comes from hikersbay.com, a website that analyses data from multiple operators to give approximate hotel costs.
We have also included the price of the cheapest four-star hotel with a 9+ (“wonderful”) review rating on kayak.com, based on searching for availability on a randomly selected date (January 18 2023).

Of course, getting to the cheapest places might entail an expensive flight. But it is all about striking a balance. You may be able to offset the higher airfare by picking a low-cost destination. Also, value doesn’t mean spending as little as possible; it is about what you are experiencing for your money. Some of these trips might not be the cheapest but offer a five-star break at three-star prices.
The level of “sun” on offer across these destinations varies hugely. You will need to travel further if you crave sweat-inducing temperatures. If you are content with somewhere simply warmer than home, where you can relax and dip in an indoor/heated pool, you can find some very cheap deals.
There are a few general takeaways. For a start, think about avoiding dollar-based destinations, where costs have rocketed – not just the United States but also countries that link their currencies to the dollar, such as Barbados, Belize and the UAE.
Also weigh up the local season. You will pay more now for the likes of the Caribbean and the Maldives, where it is peak visitor period, while places such as Bali and Morocco are more likely to throw up bargains – but won’t have such reliable weather. Consider whether an all-inclusive break makes sense: it’s a good way to manage your budget but if local costs are low it might be cheaper to self-cater.
None of this is an exact science. But by looking at what you might expect to pay, we have identified places that will deliver an affordable injection of winter cheer.
Cape Verde
Island life for less than the Caribbean
This Atlantic archipelago off the West African coast is a low-cost winter-sun sweet spot. It is only six hours away but delivers reliably warm weather, a heady mix of African, Brazilian and Portuguese influences, sandy beaches and affordable activities – think £36pp for a full-day excursion with lunch. Expect to pay at least twice that for a day-trip in Antigua.
Plus local prices are reasonable even though everything is imported. There are direct flights from the UK to popular Sal and lower-key Boa Vista. The latter is where you will find family-run Orquidea, a characterful waterfront guesthouse with tropical gardens and resident tortoises and macaws.
It is also well-positioned for walks along the beach and into the little town of Sal Rei, for trips into the desert-like interior and for spotting whales, which might be seen around Sal Rei islet from February to May.
How to do it: Cape Verde Experience (01489 866 969; capeverde. co.uk) offers seven nights at Orquidea Guest House from £1,049pp, including flights and breakfast
Cambodia
Must-see sights without the crowds
Cambodia is a hot ticket. Not only is it dry season, but right now is the perfect time to visit the temples at Angkor Wat: “Visitor numbers are less than 50 per cent of what they were before the pandemic,” says Robin Ball at Bamboo Travel.
While Cambodia is less popular than neighbouring Thailand, it is less expensive too, but with arguably superior archaeological sites and white-sand beaches. Combine both on a private, guided TravelLocal trip that spends time at Angkor as well as the splendid beaches of Sihanoukville.
Or push the boat out and get luxe for less on Bamboo’s plush Angkor & Islands in Style trip, which includes temple time and activities in Siem Reap with five nights at the opulent Royal Sands on the tropical paradise isle of Koh Rong.
How to do it: TravelLocal (0117 325 7898; travellocal. com) offers a nine-day Cambodia Temples & Beaches trip from £1,068pp, including flights and B&B accommodation. Bamboo Travel (020 7720 9285; bambootravel.co.uk) offers an 11-day Angkor & Islands in Style trip from £3,495pp, including flights and B&B accommodation
Agadir, Morocco
Africa’s most accessible and affordable destination
Credit: Alberto Guglielmi
With a sprawling sandy beach, 300 days of sunshine per year, a four-hour flight time and low local prices, Agadir is a compelling winter choice. Surfers in particular will be keen: this is the best season for riding world-class waves at nearby Taghazout.
The weather will be warm, not sweltering, but heated pools and hammams are on hand, while beach days can be mixed with excursions, such as four-wheel-drive trips into Souss-Massa National Park and visits to Berber villages such as Tafraoute, where almond trees bloom spectacularly in February.

Independent travellers could bag bargain flights plus great-value hotels: for beachside resort vibes, try Paradis Plage near Taghazout; for a mountain riad feel, opt for Atlas Kasbah, three miles from Agadir.
How to do it: Paradis Plage (00 212 528 200382; paradisplage.com) offers doubles from £107, B&B. Atlas Kasbah (00 212 661 488504; atlaskasbah.com) offers double rooms from £74, B&B. EasyJet (easyjet.com) flies to Agadir from £31 one way in January
Vietnam
Unesco-listed culture and new routes
A drop in local prices means costs are down 10 per cent in Vietnam
Credit: Jorgen Udvang
According to the latest Post Office Travel Money report, Vietnam’s Hoi An is the best-value choice for sun-seeking Britons. Even though the pound has fallen against the dong, a drop in local prices means costs are down 10 per cent.
Also, new airline Bamboo Airways now has direct flights between London and Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, making airfares more competitive.
While the old Unesco-listed port of Hoi An is a cultural draw, those after a more relaxing break might look south to the mountain-backed bays and beaches around Nha Trang.

The modern, minimalist beachfront villas at Mia Resort Nha Trang are stylish but good value.
How to do it: Kuoni (0800 294 9702; kuoni.co.uk) offers seven nights at the Mia Resort from £1,384pp, including flights and breakfast
Sri Lanka
Better value and more varied than the Maldives
Your money will go further in Sri Lanka: think beers for £1
Credit: Alamy
Sri Lanka represents excellent value at the moment. The political situation has stabilised since the summer, but visitor numbers remain hugely down and airfares are currently the lowest of any Asian destination owing to decreased demand.
Plus the exchange rate, which has hovered around 200 Sri Lankan rupees to the pound for the past decade until this summer, is now more than 400.
Your money will go further here: think beers for £1, rather than £7 in the Maldives. Being compact and varied, it is also a great place to combine Indian Ocean beach chilling with culture and wildlife.
For instance, Intrepid’s small-group Simply Sri Lanka trip combines beaches, rock-top fortresses, temples and safari options for a great price. Or, if you are just seeking sun, flop out at the smart, beachfront Heritance Ahungalla instead.
How to do it: Intrepid (0808 274 5111; intrepidtravel.com) offers an eight-day Simple Sri Lanka holiday from £540pp, including B&B accommodation but excluding flights. Sri Lankan Airlines (srilankan.com) flies between London and Colombo with fares from around £786 return. Tui (0203 451 2688; tui.co.uk) offers seven nights at the Heritance Ahungalla from £1,169pp including flights and B&B accommodation
Bali, Indonesia
Swish stays at small prices
Bali: Opt for hostels, scooter rental and bowls of nasi goreng and you could get by on £20 a day
Credit: Colin Anderson
Your cash could go a very long way if you book a holiday in Indonesia. Opt for hostels, scooter rental and bowls of nasi goreng and you could get by on £20 a day.
But even much swisher accommodation options can be picked up for good prices. The Melia Bali is in luxe Nusa Dua, the island’s fanciest enclave.
The hotel’s smart contemporary-Balinese rooms sit amid handsomely landscaped tropical gardens, right by a beautiful beach. Facilities include a lagoon-style pool and five fancy restaurants (you can stay on an all-inclusive basis if you like).

Algarve, Portugal
Winter sun and wine any time
Portugal is a good option for those looking for good (and cheap) wine, warmish air and a refreshing change of scene

It won’t exactly be scorching in southern Portugal – but if all you are looking for is good (and cheap) wine, warmish air and a refreshing change of scene, it is a very good choice, with prices lower here than in its Iberian neighbour.
Local prices have risen considerably but you will still get a coffee for less than £1. Save more by opting for self-catering: a week in a no-frills but fully kitted-out studio at the Balaia Golf Village Resort in Albufeira, for example, costs less than your monthly fuel bill; add on car hire for just £18 per day, and a round of golf for £35.
Alternatively, take a cheap flight to Faro, then search Airbnb: you will find options such as the smart Panorama Bay View apartment in Lagos, which has winter-friendly extras including a shared indoor swimming pool, sauna and gym.

Malta
History and indulgence, however long you are staying
What Malta lacks in temperature it makes up for in historic interest and relaxation

You will certainly find some good late deals for Malta, partly because it is not actually that hot. But what it lacks in temperature it makes up for in historic interest and relaxation – and it could be just the Mediterranean enclave in which to sit out the whole winter.
Olympic Holidays has received increased requests for trips lasting 21-28 days, the idea being that it is cheaper to go away than to pay for food and heating at home for the same period.

A case in point: Olympic is offering a 28-night stay at the four-star San Antonio Hotel, on Malta’s St Paul’s Bay, costing from £2,537 for two people, all-inclusive – that is a month’s worth of food, booze, gym access, indoor swimming and beachfront living for less than the £2,907 that an average UK household spends per month (according to finance company NimbleFins).

Being only a 5½-hour flight from Britain, Egypt offers an excellent heat-to-distance ratio and is a lot less expensive than near-ish winter sun favourites such as Oman and Dubai. Many resorts on the Red Sea offer all-inclusive stays, which is a good way to manage your holiday costs and avoid accidental over-spending.
If you are going to be tethered to one spot, maximise your choice by picking a hotel with plenty of options. The Royal Albatros Moderna in Sharm el-Sheikh, for instance, has seven restaurants, 10 swimming pools (three of which are heated in winter), an aquapark, a spa and a private beach.

According to the latest Post Office report, Cyprus offers Europe’s best-value winter sun. OK, it won’t be boiling hot, but with any luck it will be pleasingly mild. And the island has more to offer than beach-lazing anyway. That’s why something like Sunvil’s two-centre One Week Fly Drive is a good bet.
You will stay in the coastal resort of Paphos, where there is a large enough local population to keep tavernas open and lively in the winter, and where the ancient mosaics, temples and the Tombs of the Kings will be pretty much crowd-free.
You will also stay at the Aphrodite Beach Hotel, near the north-coast fishing harbour of Latchi and on the edge of Akamas National Park – the cooler climes are ideal for walking.
How to do it: Sunvil (020 8758 4758; sunvil.co.uk) offers a seven-night Fly Drive from £659pp, including flights, B&B accommodation and car hire

Madeira has seen a 22 per cent drop on pre-pandemic prices according to Skyscanner (the biggest fall of any destination), while the Post Office ranks it sixth cheapest in its report.
While the rugged Atlantic island doesn’t really have beaches – catch one of the regular ferries to neighbouring Porto Santo for superlative sand – the weather is spring-like year-round, the walking possibilities are endless, the history is rich and the food and drink are cheap and delicious.
Estalagem da Ponta do Sol, Madeira
Hotels such as cool, cliff‑top Estalagem da Ponta do Sol offer a high-end experience on a mid-range budget. This design-heavy retreat, perched above the south-coast village of Ponta do Sol, flies in the face of the island’s staid image, offering contemporary style, a smart spa, a gym, indoor and outdoor pools, and breathtaking views – all for a great price.

“Most of Central America offers good value, and with the driest and hottest times of year coinciding with our winter, a trip to the region is the perfect tonic to shake off the winter blues,” says Laura Rendell-Dunn of Journey Latin America. “Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama, El Salvador and parts of Mexico all spring to mind for making your pounds stretch further. ”
Even on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, you can make your money work harder. Stay in Valladolid for authenticity and still be within day-trip distance of the cenotes and Mayan ruins of Tulum.

The weak rand makes Cape Town one of the most affordable choices for winter 2022-23 – the Post Office report ranks it second cheapest for on-the-ground costs. It certainly trashes other sunny southern hemisphere cities – thanks to this summer’s beer tax increase, you will pay around £5.50 for a schooner in Sydney.
If you’re the kind of lucky person who can sleep well on planes, you get more for your money too – flights are usually overnight. For the best prices and availability, wait until after January 15, when the city’s summer holiday season ends but the weather is still warm.

Lanzarote
A plum pick in the dependable Canaries
The Canaries are classic winter-sun spots
The Canaries are classic winter-sun spots. Bigger, more popular islands, such as Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, are the most wallet-friendly, with a wider range of accommodation and direct low-cost flights.
On-island location matters too. For instance, stay at Villa Harmony in the old town of busy Puerto del Carmen, on Lanzarote, and you can save by buying fresh fish from the local pescaderia to barbecue on your private pool terrace.
Also, you don’t have to hire a car as there are shops, restaurants and sandy beaches within walking distance, plus access to inexpensive buses linking the airport, the capital Arrecife and Teguise’s Sunday market, the most famous in the Canary Islands.

The story of a round-the-world trip – adventures
A little more than ten years ago, a candidate for master of sports in sailing Evgeny ABRAMOV returned from a round-the-world trip. Together with him, fellow countrymen from Magnitogorsk Viktor KUTISCHEV and Evgeny Spiridonov took part in an exciting adventure. Estonian Heldur SUUN, the most experienced member of the crew, made the crew of the Willow Winds yacht international.
Love for sails
In childhood and adolescence, Zhenya Abramov’s summer holidays were spent on the water of Zavodskoy Pond. The boy became seriously interested in sailing, like many of his peers in the late 60s of the last century. Classes were held every day, races were arranged on Saturdays and Sundays. Remembering that time, Eugene notes that the hobby, which occupied all his free time, saved him from the fate of the yard lads.
– Before the army, I didn’t get out of there at all, it was a separate life. At that time, sailing was actively developed by the rector of the Mining Institute, Nikolai Ivanovich Ivanov. Olympic-class yachts were bought, competitions were organized. We were all serious about sailing. They didn’t look far, they had to win the city, the region, pass the standard for the master of sports. We were friends, lived together in the institute camp “Youth”. They built the yacht club on Bannoy with their own hands, dragged the stones. First of all, I am an athlete, not a traveller. nine0005
On Easter Island
An unexpected offer
Viktor Kutishchev was among the students of the Mining Institute who instilled a love for sails. He invited Yevgeny Abramov in the summer of 2011 (by that time a 53-year-old military pensioner) to remember his youth. But then there was no talk about the circumnavigation of the world.
– “I have a yacht, let’s go across the Atlantic!” – so he said. And I have never seen anything more than the Black Sea. Imagine, a man is in love with sailing, and suddenly he is offered to cross the ocean! That is, the proposal, of course, breathtaking. Naturally, he immediately agreed. I’m retired, nothing to lose but my chains, as they say. The third member of the crew was Evgeny Spiridonov. Unfortunately, he passed away a week ago. nine0005
The preparation period ended by September. The starting point of the trip is the port in the Croatian city of Pula. The adventurers settled on the yacht, and then the owner and captain of the sailing ship stunned the companions.
– We were going across the Atlantic, and Victor says: “Let’s go around the globe!”. I ask why is this? Answer: “I need to make a round the world.” As I recall, there is something to do with the qualifications of a yacht captain. Either you go to England and pass some exams, or you go around the ball and get the appropriate captain’s qualification. nine0005
Ushuaia – the southernmost city in the world
Evgeny Abramov recalls those events with a fair amount of humor. For example, it says that navigators consider it easier to circumnavigate the globe than to return from America to Europe.
– The trade winds blow from east to west, roughly speaking. That is, you left Europe and flew to America on the trade winds. How about back? Therefore, many say that it is easier to go around the globe on the trade winds and monsoons than to suffer later and bypass headwinds along the northern or southern path. You can’t go straight along the equator on sails, unless you “oil” all the way on the motor. Such a tricky business … In short, we agreed. Victor said that it would take a year and a half to circumnavigate the world. nine0005
As a result, Evgeny Abramov’s journey lasted eight months. He visited Italy, Spain, the Canary Islands, Portugal, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, the islands of French Polynesia – Easter and Tahiti. Passed the Strait of Gibraltar and the Drake Strait, rounded Cape Horn … However, we run (or swim) ahead.
Power of the ocean
The first serious storm our travelers encountered happened in the Strait of Messina between continental Italy and Sicily. nine0005
– We arrived at the island associated with the mafia, in the city of Messina, rounding the “Italian boot”, stayed there for a couple of days and got into a terrible storm at the exit. The wind was up to 40 knots, we wanted to return, but the captain said: “Let’s go, people are walking!”. Night, horror, the yacht rears up … Then the wind died down, and we already reached Palermo in the middle breeze, this is in the west of Sicily. We stood there for three days, rested, refueled, bought groceries.
From Palermo to the Spanish Palma “Willow in the wind” just flew. And before entering the Atlantic, it was necessary to pass the Strait of Gibraltar – on the starboard side of the south of Spain, on the left – the north of Africa. While sailing through this strait, the crew and passengers of ships can see both shores. But only in good weather. nine0005 To Fiji with a local musician
– We are approaching Gibraltar, the wind is getting stronger, and there is nowhere else to go, only forward and away from the coast. Far away from him in the ocean is a long wave – it left, tossed, and you go further. And towards the shore, the waves shorten, rise, and this is very dangerous. A storm head sail was set just in case, and then, like a storm, all nine points! But the wind is fair, and we flew over Gibraltar. Of course, not like on a sports yacht, overtaking the waves. Our yacht is cruising, heavy, twenty tons. The wave pushed, the sail was reduced … We reached Madeira, stood there for three days, drank Madeira. It’s utter disgusting, but being in Madeira and not trying the local fortified wine would be wrong. nine0005
In the Canary Islands, and more precisely in the port of Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria, travelers had to stay for thirteen days. They were waiting for the mechanical autopilot to be delivered and installed on the yacht. In the same place, the experienced navigator Heldur Suun, who replaced Evgeny Spiridonov, who had flown home, began his round-the-world trip as part of the crew of the Willow in the Wind.
– From the Canary Islands we went along Africa to the Cape Verde Islands, made a stop in Cabo Verde, and from there we started to Brazil. On the north trade wind we passed the equator, traditionally got drunk on salty outboard water. We reached the shores of South America, and when we walked along Argentina, we met the new year 2012. I even swam in the Atlantic. Water +18, it was not hot. The captain allowed us to jump without a leash. In general, even if the yacht is with the engines turned off and the sails removed, it is necessary to tie. In the ocean, a wave will come up, and a 20-ton boat will fly away with it, you won’t catch up. So put a rope on the handle and swim. This is when there is calm and near the shore, there are no waves, of course, you don’t need to become attached. And if in the middle of the ocean …
Cape Horn
It’s hot in the tropics, you don’t have to swim often – you have to wash off the salt from your skin with fresh water, but where can you get it, extra? But the weather was the hardest at the exit to the Pacific Ocean.
– It is impossible to go around the globe and not pass Cape Horn. And Cape Horn is a graveyard of ships, two oceans meet there, it’s terrible what’s going on. We were lucky, there was a one-day window, we went through the Drake Passage, and then there was a storm, and we did not poke ourselves into it. We rounded Cape Horn twice, back and forth, and went into the straits of Patagonia. Through the straits along the coast of Chile, then they entered the Pacific Ocean closer to the tropics. And there they still got into a storm in Pe̍yas Bay. The wind is from the Pacific Ocean, but you have to go out against the wind, you can’t set sails. Motor 3000 rpm, speed one and a half knots, we are thrown in the opposite direction. Near the coast, very dangerous. They say that Robinson Crusoe washed ashore. It won’t be thrown away, but it will crash against the rocks so that nothing remains. God forbid stalled, you can not doubt your fate. The ocean has strength …
I am a normal person, so it was scary, of course.
Busy traffic
Traffic on ocean roads is just like that, Evgeny Abramov says. And the most impressive thing is how travelers communicate with each other. When meeting, skippers and sailors always give each other some advice, prompts. For example, buy a sailing boat to go through Patagonia.
– Everything is described in it, including parking places. Everyone follows the same direction, so the parking lots are already equipped. An absolutely wild place, some kind of creek, you go there, and a rope is tied to a tree. We approached, got up on this rope, let go as far as possible, gave up the anchor, turned the boat around, stretched out and stood, not moving anywhere. We wake up in the morning, someone else stood next to me. That is, there are passers-by places, the movement is lively. nine0005
Parking lot in Patagonia
French and British met at every step. The latter are considered the kings of the seas, but in front of the astonished public they somehow ran aground.
– We almost sat down once too. We had to refuel, there are shallow depths, and we have 2.5 meters of draft. Heldur slowly entered the gas station in reverse, but felt something was wrong, and gave full speed ahead. We didn’t fill up, we went to another gas station. And if you get stuck, try twenty tons, pull it off, no motor will help. nine0005
“Eight” in Uruguay
Evgeny Abramov emphasizes that the round-the-world trip as such was not an end in itself. He wanted to see with his own eyes how people live in distant countries, inaccessible to many compatriots.
– Upon arrival at the port, it was like this for me – the yacht was washed, cleaned, scrubbed, the salt was washed off, the backpack was put on my shoulders and away I went. We spent an average of three days in each port. I walked around the city on foot, I even got lost once. In El Salvador, I got lost, the local policeman helped out, showed the way to the port. nine0005
The first city where Yevgeny Abramov began to replenish his collection of impressions was the Sicilian Messina. I walked the streets, went to shops, markets. For the first time in my life I saw garbage containers of different colors, and the Italian suggested which one to throw an empty beer can into. In another Sicilian city of Palermo, the Russian was convinced of the deceitfulness of the European facade.
– Everything seems beautiful, turned into an alley – drowned, heaps of garbage, bags in dirty puddles. They explained to me that the Sicilian mafia runs the housing and communal services, and it has no money for garbage collection. I also remember Italy for pizza, it didn’t impress me, I cook better. nine0005
Palma de Mallorca, the main city and port of the Spanish Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands, is remembered for caring for people in general and respect for pedestrians in particular.
– Painted roads and paths: green for pedestrians, brown for cyclists, gray for cars, no traffic lights. What I noticed is that pedestrian crossings are only in the old city. In general, if you decide to cross the road, the driver will see, stop and let you pass. At first, it even bothered me. nine0005
Speaking of cars. In Uruguay, Evgeny Abramov met the VAZ G8 and almost fainted.
– Where is she from? I understand when we drive Fords… I thought, find another Muscovite, and it will be a complete waste!
In sunny Brazil, a traveler noticed a large number of homeless people. Both in El Salvador and Rio de Janeiro. Apparently, the climate allows you to spend the night on the street, hiding behind a cardboard box. And on the Cape Verde Islands, so popular among divers and windsurfers, and specifically in the Republic of Cape Verde (Atlantic Ocean, 600 kilometers from the west coast of Africa), there are a lot of beggars. nine0005
– There are beggars everywhere in the ports. The Cape Verdian, who requires all possible assistance from tourists, can speak almost any language, albeit with a limited vocabulary. But he doesn’t know Russian! But even there I found a man, or rather, they brought me to him, who studies Russian and speaks it well. Unfortunately, grief happened to him, his father died, he was busy with mourning affairs and could not devote much time to communication. But he really wanted to talk to a Russian in Russian. By the way, I went everywhere with a Russian-English phrase book, and looked into it a little. In general, I advise everyone, and upon my return I told my daughter – learn languages, it will come in handy. nine0005

Fiji Islands – Hong Kong – Moscow – Magnitogorsk
A round-the-world trip on the 16-meter cruise yacht “Willow in the Wind” ended for Evgeny Abramov on the Fiji Islands in the Southwest Pacific Ocean.

Packing checklists and clothing tips for your vacation
Top Style Tips for the Canary Islands
- Throughout the Canary Islands of Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and La Gomera, in the tourist resorts dress is casual.
- For most visitors the draw are the glorious beaches so beachwear, sarong and sunhat, flip flops, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen (we love the Riemann P20 range for 10 hour protection) are the essentials for the day.
- But it’s usually windy, so don’t be fooled by the temperatures – the breeze may cool you but the sun is still very strong.
- Jeans are very popular everywhere, but in the hottest months may be too uncomfortable. Opt instead for lightweight natural fabrics.
- Shorts, t-shirts and camisoles are perfectly acceptable.
- We would suggest that you pack a smarter outfit for more up-market restaurants.
- Dressing in layers will help you with the temperature changes.
- If you are looking for a highly versatile travel jacket to bring along we highly recommend the SCOTTeVEST range. Their range of jackets have been specifically designed with traveling in mind and include RFID security (to protect your passport information), 23 secure pockets and personal connectivity integration.
Shoes to pack for the Canary Islands
- We love Hotter shoes, for total comfort along with style.
- Ladies, take your heels, but save them for evening dining or nightclubbing. Or why not try the Lindsay Phillips Switch Flops range – using interchangeable shoe and flip-flop bases with snap-on decorations, you can change your look from day to evening in an instant whilst still packing light.
- All of the islands have some rugged terrain which is ideal for walking and exploring. This can be done on your own or with a guide. Make sure you take comfortable sneakers or trekking shoes, or if you plan to go right into the wilds take well worn-in walking boots with good ankle support, plus walking socks which will wick away moisture (we like Thorlos hiking socks – they’re especially designed to keep your feet dry and comfortable when trekking in hotter climes).
Clothing Tips for Women
- A few well chosen pieces of costume jewelry will transform any outfit.
- And a pashmina is a versatile piece that will dress up any outfit too.
- If you’re going to visit any religious sites, use your pashmina again to cover your shoulders and bare legs.
Clothing Tips for Men
- If you’re looking for versatile and stylish beachwear, try the Madda Fella range of shirts, shorts, polos and swimwear.
Community photos from the Canary Islands
Pack for the Weather
- From November through December, January February and March it can be cool and wet so pack a lightweight raincoat and travel umbrella.
- And the winter months can be cold in the evenings, so take a jacket or sweater to put round you.
- We love the Weather+ app – it gives an accurate 6 day forecast for day and night, which when you’re planning from home is really helpful. You can keep all the places you’ve been to too – a nice way to remember your trip 🙂 Download for iPad/iPhone or Android
Travel essentials for the Canary Islands
- If you’re out walking all day, a light day sack is handy to carry all your essentials.
- If you tend to buy bottled water, consider carrying a LifeStraw Filtration Water Bottle – fill up from any source and get clean, safe drinking water without wasting plastic bottles.
- To use electrical gadgets you may need a travel adapter plug, and also a step down voltage converter if your devices are not designed for European voltage (230V).
- If you’re aiming to travel with just carry-on baggage, try the CabinMax soft-sided rucksack – it’s light, roomy and has plenty of pockets to keep your stuff organized.
- Avoid paying unexpected baggage fees – use an accurate luggage scale to ensure you keep within the weight allowance. Don’t forget to leave room for souvenirs on the way home! Local pottery and rum are good Canarian buys, but remember you’ll need to pack the latter in checked-in luggage unless you buy at the airport duty-free.

10 ideas where to go this spring

Why it is worth traveling in the spring and where exactly the sun, sea and local attractions will wake anyone up after the Estonian winter.
Spring is almost the best time to travel to the largest island in the Mediterranean, as summers are very hot and dry. But in March and April in Sicily, you can fully admire the green landscapes of fields and plantations with fragrant wild flowers bursting with bright colors. Since the weather on the island is already warm at the beginning of spring and the air begins to warm up more and more, you can spend a sufficient amount of time breathing in the fresh aroma of spring.
On sunny and already warm days of March-April, you can visit former Phoenician sites, Roman amphitheaters, Greek temples, Norman castles and Aragonese churches. Or you can combine sightseeing holidays with participation in the main Sicilian holidays. So, for example, in March, the feast of St. Giuseppe, the protector of the poor, is celebrated throughout Sicily. For the festival, which is celebrated on a grand scale for a whole week, altars are built everywhere, decorating them with biblical symbols and figures baked from dough. In April, Sicily invites all tourists to its numerous gastronomic festivals, where you can always not only taste real Sicilian dishes, but also learn how to cook them (for example, the cheese festival “Sagra della ricotta e del formaggio” or the feast of cannoli, the most famous Sicilian sweet in the world).
The average air temperature in March-April is +16 and above.
It is not for nothing that the Canary Islands are called an earthly paradise and a place of eternal spring, where there is almost no rain or bad weather. The mild climate, verdant valleys, picturesque beaches and bizarre cliffs have made the Canary Islands a special place that everyone dreams of visiting. Especially when the house is dull, rainy and summer is still very far away.
In March-April, the Canary Islands are already full of flowers, birds are chirping and the sun is shining brightly. And at the same time, it is calm, comfortable and convenient there. In any city, at hotels or in tourist centers, you can find a wide variety of excursion offers – from trips on catamarans to dolphins to tours to the top of Teide or the fantastic Loro Park – one of the most significant and visited zoos located on the island. In addition, all kinds of festivals, holidays and carnivals are constantly held in the Canaries.
The average air temperature in March-April is +22 and above.
Spring Cyprus looks like a fairyland. It was during this period that he can easily dispel the myth about himself as a place of exclusively beach recreation. There is no sweltering heat here yet, so you can easily ride a bike along the coast, seeing the sights and surroundings and, at the same time, sunbathe and enjoy the scent of blooming jasmine and lemon.
In your spare time you can get to the Akamas peninsula in the northwest of Cyprus. There is a protected area known for its sandy bays, crystal clear waters and pine forests. True, you can travel around Akamas either on foot or only in jeeps, since the road is unpaved, with steep ascents and descents. It is here that you can see fantastic landscapes, go hiking and literally bathe in the scent of meadow flowers and trees.
Besides, I travel around Cyprus in the spring, so don’t forget about rural tourism. A few years ago, the government of the country began to actively finance the development of villages, and now it is incredibly interesting here: you can learn how baskets are weaved in Ine, taste all types of Turkish delight in Geroskipou, learn how cheeses and wine are made, and try bread only from the oven in the village of Omodos .
The average air temperature in March-April is +20 and above.
Spring is the best time to travel to Dubai. With the beginning of March, the first hot days begin in Dubai, which cannot but rejoice tourists who come to rest. Of course, the April heat during this period of the year is still far away, but lovers of the bright sun and warm sea can start packing their bags.
But if you still think that there is nothing to do in Dubai except shopping and sunbathing, then numerous festivals, sports events and fairs will debunk this myth. As an example, we can mention the culinary festival “Taste of Dubai”, which is attended by chefs from the best restaurants in the city. In turn, art lovers will certainly be pleased with the ART Dubai fair, which presents the works of artists, photographers, musicians and collectors. Therefore, you will definitely have something to do, in addition to a beach holiday and shopping.
The average air temperature in March-April is +20 and above.
In March-April, the largest Greek island blossoms and literally smells of aromas of herbs and flowering trees. You will not regret if you spend 2-5 days exploring the entire island, visiting all of its most famous places and sights.
You can rent a car immediately upon arrival, and then head east, drive along the south coast, climb into mountain villages, see the ancient monastery of Tolpu, built by the Venetians in the 14th century, where the monks still produce olive oil, wine and drink – rakia. One of the longest excursions of such a trip can be a hike through the Samaria Gorge – the largest canyon in Europe. In addition to all this, you can touch the most ancient tree on earth (according to the Greeks) – the Ano Vouves olive, which is already more than 3,000 years old, and see the incredibly beautiful Balos Bay – a huge shallow with clear water and fine sand.
The average air temperature in March-April is +17 and above.
Spring time in Bulgaria is always beautiful. At this time, the drops have already resounded, the air is filled with the aromas of forest flowers. At the same time, the streets of cities and resort villages are getting lively, cafes and bars that were closed for the winter period are opening. Of course, having visited Bulgaria in early spring, you should not count on a beach holiday, but this does not mean that there is nothing more to do here. What is worth just traveling through the hills of the Balkan Mountains, enjoying the parks and reserves, which are very numerous in this area. Ornithological excursions are especially popular at this time of the year, because about 400 species of birds live on the territory of the republic, and you will not find them in any other part of Europe. Therefore, do not forget to bring your camera or camcorder if you plan to visit Bulgaria in March-April.
In addition, if you are going to travel to Bulgaria in spring, you can have a great rest in the well-known spas, where not only relaxation procedures are offered, but also medical ones, as well as balneotherapy courses. For this, ideal conditions have been created in Bulgaria by nature, since there are 250 hydrothermal springs on the territory of the state, with the help of which millions of tourists prevent diseases such as heart, respiratory, nervous, musculoskeletal disorders.
The average air temperature in March-April is +15 and above.
The Côte d’Azur is beautiful at any time of the year, but in spring, when gardens bloom, this romantic place has a special energy. Here, while the Mediterranean heat has not yet begun to put pressure on tourists, it is worth going at this time. Enjoy the empty restaurant terraces, eat oysters, drink coffee with croissants and breathe in the salty sea air.
Once here, you should definitely visit the village of Grasse, where there are 5 large and more than 40 small perfume factories, where you can even create your own fragrance. Climb into the village of Gourdon, which is included in the list of the most beautiful in France, and the Grimaldi castle, in which Pablo Picasso himself worked for six months, who donated his sketches and about two dozen works in gratitude to Antibes. And also visit the fabulous village of Eze, where Friedrich Nietzsche liked to walk and Walt Disney enjoyed relaxing.
The average air temperature in March-April is +15+17.
One of the smallest and most enchanting islands in the Mediterranean, spring is so transformed that the riot of spring colors can wake up even the most unimpressive observer. It is too early to open the swimming season in these waters, but you can immerse yourself in the study of local attractions and admire the history of the Knights of the Order of Malta. For example, it is worth visiting the Cathedral of St. John with a marble floor made from the tombstones of the knights themselves, walking along the walls and fortifications of Valletta, the most powerful and well-preserved sea fortress in the world, going to the Ta-Pinu Basilica, where pilgrims come with prayers for healing, or take a walk along narrow streets of medieval Mdina – the first capital of Malta.
In addition, spring is a great time to sit by the sea and admire the Azure Window, an impressive 28 meters high limestone cliff, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can ride on multi-colored big-eyed “luzzu” boats, sit out your pants in the fish restaurants of the small village of Marsaxlokk, or take part in the famous Mediterranean cuisine festival, which takes place annually in Malta in March.
The average temperature in March-April is +15+17 and above.
Madeira is often referred to as the “Pearl of the Atlantic”. This small island, located 1000 km southwest of the capital of Portugal, is always proud of its amazing climate and fantastically beautiful nature.
If you set out to visit this wonderful island in the spring, then you will certainly be pleased with the prices for accommodation and excursions, which will be much lower than in the summer. In addition, spring on this green island is a continuous series of holidays, so you can become not only their witnesses, but even participants.
Numerous excursion programs in spring usually include a visit to the Botanical Garden of Funchal, walks along the ancient streets, “forced marches” to authentic villages, hiking along irrigation canals (levadas) laid between centuries-old forests, climbing to the crater of a volcano and much more.

The Spirit of Marbella by Nick Kenrick/Flickr

The same applies to the summer months when the average temperature during the day is 28 – 29 degrees in Algarve and 31 degrees in Marbella and Malaga.
The common between Algarve and Costa del Sol is that they both offer really warm and sunny weather 8-9 months per year and really pleasant winters.
Here are the average temperatures during the day in Algarve (Faro) and Costa del Sol (Malaga):
January – Algarve 16°C / Costa del Sol – 17°C
February – Algarve 17°C / Costa del Sol – 18°C

Algarve Sandy beaches by PortoBay Hotels & Resorts/Flickr
Both Costa del Sol and Algarve are well-known for their incredible beaches.
Each one of these places has its own advantages.
For sure, they are really famous all across the globe, but which of these places is better, you have to decide for yourself.
– Costa del Sol
Costa del Sol is approximately 150 km long and stretches between Punta Chullera to the west and Maro to the east (just east of Nerja).
The coast is famous for its superb beaches, whose color varies between creamy white and beige with pale brownish nuances.

However, the sea surface along Costa del Sol is usually much more calm and quiet, at least during the summer season.
– Algarve
The coast of Algarve is nearly 155 km long or approximately 5 km longer than Costa del Sol.
It stretches between Cape Saint Vincent to the west and the Spanish border to the east.
The coast of Algarve is considered the most picturesque in Southern Europe.
It is very steep, with vertical yellow, red and orange coastal cliffs.
The beaches are just wonderful and are for sure among the most beautiful in Europe.
They offer very gentle golden sands. Some of them are very small and secluded, while others are kilometres long.
Algarve or Costa del Sol is more expensive
Praia da Marinha Algarve by Ricard12
If you are searching for a cheaper place to live or to spend your holiday, you should probably consider Costa de la Luz instead of Algarve or Costa del Sol.
However, even if relatively expensive, they both offer plenty of places to buy a cheap apartment or even a house as well as to spend an affordable vacation.
Normally, Costa del Sol is more expensive than Algarve BUT don’t forget that some towns on the southern coast of Portugal could be still much more expensive.
It all depends on where you are and what part of the year it is.
The most expensive in the region of Algarve are considered the towns of Lagos and Albufeira while the top spot on the Costa del Sol belongs to Marbella.
Both places have their famous residents, including Cristiano Ronaldo in Algarve and Antonio Banderas in Costa del Sol.
Algarve or Costa del Sol is safer?

Both Algarve and Costa del Sol are very safe places to visit or to live in and are nearly identical in this respect.
Portugal, together with Malta, is the safest country in South Europe and one of the safest in the world.
The levels of crime are very low in both Algarve and Costa del Sol and are comparable (or in most cases lower) to every other tourist area in Europe, no matter if in France, Italy, Greece or other country.
However, there are some differences from one place to another depending on if you are in a bigger city like Malaga or in smaller towns like Marbella or Albufeira.
Algarve or Costa del Sol is more cosmopolitan?
Both places are really cosmopolitan and attract people from around the world.
The coast of the Algarve is a popular spot for visitors and settlers from the Netherlands and Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland).
However, Costa del Sol is considered the most international spot in Europe after London.

It a popular destination for settlers and visitors from all 6 continents.
Which offers more exciting nightlife and which is more quiet and relaxing?

Although some parts of Algarve, such as Albufeira, are popular party destinations, the southern coast of Portugal is generally much more quiet and relaxing place.
Here is much easier to find some privacy and secluded place just for yourself.
On the other side, Costa del Sol offers more entertainment options and is generally more hectic and noisy place with more exciting nightlife, which attracts a huge number of young visitors.
Which is more romantic?

If you are searching for a romantic spot to spend your holiday with your significant other and can’t decide between Algarve and Costa del Sol, you should definitely consider the idea to spend some time in the South of Portugal. It is for sure more romantic for young but also for elderly couples.

Packing Tips to Plan for the Costa del Sol Weather Forecast
Like any holiday, failing to plan is planning to fail! To get the most out of your trip to the Costa del Sol, think about how the weather could affect what you wear and what potions and lotions you need to bring with you while packing.
Clothing
-
In the evenings there is generally a breeze around the coastal areas.
-
It is best to pack a light jacket if you are staying out late, but not a heavy one.
-
It is best to pack light in general and bring mix and match outfits for ease.
-
The dress code is generally casual unless you are going to an upmarket restaurant in Marbella or Malaga.
Sunscreen
-
The sun is very hot here as it is so close to the Equator.
-
Ensure to pack a high factor sunscreen.
-
Apply it frequently throughout the day as you will get burned without it.
-
Remember to re-apply after swimming or water sports.
Jellyfish
-
During the summer the beaches on the Costa del Sol can attract swarms of Jellyfish, especially during July and August.
-
While the larger and more popular beaches have lifeguards on duty to assist, a trip to the pharmacy or hospital may be needed if stung.
-
Keep an eye out for the flags that indicate their presence. Do not go into the water or walk barefoot on the shore if there are jellyfish on the beach.
-
It is best to pack a little bottle of ammonia or vinegar diluted to 50% as a relief treatment if you get stung.
Mosquitos
-
Be aware of the presence of the Tiger Mosquito, an Asian strain that has taken up residency in Malaga and the Costa del Sol in recent years.
-
Only the female form bites and contrary to popular beliefs about mosquitos, this one has daytime activity. It is particularly active from 6am to 10am and 4pm to 10pm.
-
Avoid packing perfumes with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
-
Pack a mosquito net for your bedroom if your accommodation provider is not providing one.
-
Stay away from all stagnant water areas such as ponds, ornamental fountains and water tanks.
-
Pregnant women, overweight people and those with blood group 0 are a higher risk and should check with their doctor for further advice.
Most of all, don’t forget that you’re on holidays, so as they say in Spanish; Felices Fiestas! (Happy Holidays!)

The actual nearshore temperatures may vary by several degrees and this can also be heavily affected by weather. Strong winds can cause cold, deep waters to replace the surface waters that had been warmed by the sun, and heavy rain can also reduce the temperature of the sea surface temperature as well.

Why measure sea surface temperatures (SST) in Costa Blanca?
The ocean covers about 71% of the Earth’s surface, and scientists record the sea surface temperature (SST) of locations such as Costa Blanca because they want to understand and learn how the ocean communicates with the atomosphere of Earth.
SST is one measure that provides information on the global climate, and it can be used to predict the weather in Costa Blanca as well as atmospheric model simulations and to study marine ecosystems in the area.
Data source and citation
Raw data for the calculations made to find the sea surface temperature in Costa Blanca comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and their 1/4° daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature.
The water temperature data is constructed by combining observations from different platforms (satellites, ships, buoys, and Argo floats) on a regular global grid. A spatially complete sea surface temperature map is then built by interpolating to fill in gaps in the data.

description of the weather on the beaches of resorts, reviews of tourists, where it is better to relax on the map – Barcelona Realty Group
Climate and weather on the Costa Blanca in Spain
In fact, the entire region is a narrow strip between the Iberian mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. The weather conditions here are mild, which is noticeable by the amount of lush greenery – almonds, vineyards, olives, citrus fruits grow here. There are so many oranges here that sometimes supply exceeds demand and farmers have to sell the crop at a very low price. The southern regions, closer to Alicante, are drier and more deserted, the vegetation is sparse. The average air temperature is kept at + 24-33C, in winter – + 10-20C, there is little rain, but rare precipitation can be quite intense. The water temperature in summer does not drop below 26 degrees, thanks to which the local beaches are chosen by families with children and those who like to swim in “fresh milk”.
Resorts of the Costa Blanca
The cities of the White Coast will not let you get bored at any time of the year, and not only fans of beach holidays, but also active travelers. In spring and autumn, you can go on a tour of ancient castles, visit the unique Canelobre stalactite cave, in summer and winter you can go shopping at seasonal sales, visit the colorful Turron Christmas Market in Gijón, or open the Terra Natura amusement park with your children. Thanks to the unique weather, the Costa Blanca is one of the few regions in Spain that are suitable for holidays almost 365 days a year.
Alicante
The capital of the province received its sonorous name “Al-Laqant”, that is, “the city of bright radiance”, back in the days of Arab rule. Lying in a plain among the mountains, it really has an amazing light that seems to reflect snow-white houses, sand and the azure sea. The resort, which has always been a tidbit for conquerors, is a real treasury of architecture and a major port from which cruises depart to Africa and the Balearic Islands. Traditionally, Alicante people specialize in growing oranges, fishing and shoe making, thanks to which Alicante has become a recognized center of gastronomy and shopping. Since the tourist boom of the 1960s, it has also become an international tourist destination, with a population of 400,000 that increases 10 times in summer.
Benidorm
Benidorm, located 40 km from Alicante, has been holding the status of the tourist capital of the Costa Blanca for many years. The fishing village, actively built up since the 50s of the last century, today it is one of the most dynamic and noisy resorts of the peninsula, “Ibiza N2”. Another name – “Spanish New York” – brought him a record number of the highest skyscrapers. Despite the apparent impersonality of these “steel jungles”, their urban soul is alive – a cozy Old Center, built up with charming houses 16-19centuries and ending with the marine observation deck “Mediterranean Balcony”.
Finestrat
Cozy village is located at the foot of the legendary mountain Puig Campana, 7 km from Benidorm. This picturesque place, surrounded by plantations of almonds, olives and orange groves, is chosen by families with children and lovers of a relaxing holiday. They are attracted by the unique microclimate created by the mountains and the sea, the beaches with velvety sand and the historical center, with unique “hanging houses” and towers. The seaside area of La Cala is a concentration of new luxury residences and residential complexes. You can swim and do water sports here almost all year round, and the picturesque mountain peaks seem to be created for lovers of hiking and cycling routes and unforgettable photo shoots.
Altea
Snow-white Altea is not only one of the most elegant Spanish resorts. Numerous theater festivals and a large concentration of art galleries and museums have brought her the laurels of the Cultural Capital of the region. A feature of the city are the streets of the Old Center of El Fornet, steeply descending to the sea, strewn with miniature white houses and entwined with flowers. The embankment connecting the center with the yacht port is a series of expensive restaurants and boutiques of the world’s leading brands. In the vicinity of Altea, there is also the first Orthodox church in Spain, St. Michael the Archangel, built from materials brought from the Urals.
Dénia
Tucked away at the foot of the Montgo mountain, Dénia is called the most beautiful city of the Costa Blanca, as if created for interesting photos. The main attraction of this ancient port, halfway between Valencia and Alicante, is a medieval castle, under the shadow of which the quiet life of the townspeople flows. Despite the glory of the resort of international class, he managed to keep the charm of antiquity and peace, ancient churches and monasteries peacefully side by side with boutiques of fashion brands, excellent restaurants and bars. The local climate, emerald sea and white sand are a panacea for those who suffer from diseases of the heart, lungs, rheumatism and skin ailments.
Campello
This former fishing village stretches picturesquely along the sea 13 km north of Alicante. The place is famous for its golden sandy beaches, recognized as one of the best on the Costa Blanca, and an impressive selection of restaurants, and the fish auction in the picturesque port is a special attraction for curious gourmets. The city also has a 16th century watchtower and a curious peninsula with excavations from the Bronze Age, but in general people come here not for sightseeing, but for a relaxing beach holiday with children.
Calpe
Colorful Calpe – the “heart” of the Costa Blanca. More than half of its population are foreigners, mostly British and Germans, attracted by low housing prices, mild climate and amazing nature. This place was inhabited in the Bronze Age, unique Roman and Arab artifacts are still found, and, despite the active development, you can still feel the breath of history in the streets of the Old Center. The symbol of Calpe is the majestic green Cape Ifach, rising from the sea and dubbed “mini-Gibraltar”. It is adjoined by a long beach strip, which has several “Blue Flag” quality.
Torrevieja
The third largest coastal resort is called the “Russian capital of Spain”: the diaspora of our compatriots here is one of the largest in the country. Among the residents there are many “stars” of Russian cinema and show business, there are schools, shops, bars and the press for Russians. The city as a whole is very cosmopolitan, with 50% of its inhabitants being foreigners, attracted by the mild climate, wide beaches and low housing prices. The old center, which keeps the charm of antiquity, will captivate lovers of architecture. Also worth a visit are the pink and emerald salt lakes, thanks to which Torrevieja has become the main supplier of table salt in Europe.
Santa Pola
Santa Pola is a cozy port town 20 km from Alicante, synonymous with active seaside holidays and the celebration of Mediterranean cuisine. Every Alicante considers it his duty to visit his famous regattas, “catch a wave” on the surf and dine in one of the excellent fish taverns. Opened by the Iberians, the resort has a rich cultural heritage, which includes such “pearls” as the castle of the 16th century, watchtowers or the remains of an ancient Roman settlement. Salt lakes of an unusual pink color, the home of hundreds of flamingos, as well as the only oyster farm on the coast, whose gourmet goods are exported to many countries of the world, are also must-sees.
Villajoyosa
Ancient Villajoyosa, Spanish for “city of fun”, is a mosaic of colorful fishermen’s houses stretching along the sea. This is a paradise for chocolate lovers, where there are as many as four factories for the production of delicacies, including the famous Valor brand. In addition to sweet tastings, tourists come here to visit the remains of Roman thermae and medieval watchtowers, the Gothic church and the Arsenal seaside area, gawk at the oldest olive tree on the coast, or attend the colorful festival “Moors and Christians” with a staging of the Arab landings in the 16th century and costumed fights.
Jávea
Sheltered by the mountains of the Montgo massif and lying in the bay, the town has a special microclimate that has earned it the laurels of one of the healthiest cities in the world. Ideal conditions allow you to swim in the warm sea all year round and cultivate vineyards, grow almonds, olives and citrus fruits. A rich history, including the “strong hand” of the Romans, and the Visigoth monks, and the raids of pirates, can be traced in the numerous monuments of the resort. The city territory can be conditionally divided into 2 zones: the colorful Old Center, with its Gothic quarter and fortified walls, a large port with a pier for yachts and a fish auction, and the Arenal beach area, where the best entertainment facilities are concentrated.
Moraira
A “little pearl” hidden in the sea sand of the White Coast. The former modest fishing village between Javea and Calpe in the 70s of the last century turned into the most glamorous center of the coast, a favorite vacation spot for wealthy Europeans. There are especially many British, French and Scandinavians here, who know a lot about the excellent climate, quality of service and delicious cuisine. Its own port with a marina and a daily fish auction, Blue Flag sandy beaches and a string of prestigious boutiques, restaurants and hotels complete the portrait of one of Spain’s most luxurious resorts.
Guardamar del Segura
Located 30 km from the international airport of Guardamar is a classic family resort with excellent beaches, a gentle slope into the sea, orange groves and eco-gardens where they grow a local delicacy – purple pepper “niora” .
The town stands on the river Segura, which, meeting with the sea, forms an amazing lunar landscape. Sand dunes planted with coniferous forests form a unique reserve stretching along the sea for 14 kilometers. Here are the ruins of the ancient Phoenician port of La Fonteta. Fans of antiquity will also be interested in visiting the remains of the Iberian settlement of Cabezo Lucero, the ruins of the oldest Arab watch house in Spain, Rabita Kalifal, or the castle of Guardamar.
Albir
Quiet seaside town located between Benidorm and Altea, 50 km from Alicante International Airport. Thanks to the clean pebble beach, convenient transport links and the quality of services in hotels, many choose it as a convenient base from which to explore the coast. More than half of the population are foreigners employed in tourism, so the concentration of restaurants of world cuisines will impress any gourmet. Fans of excursions also have something to do – you can visit the remains of an ancient Roman settlement, watchtowers and even the Avenue of Stars, which is open during the annual international film festival.
Polop
A small mountain village was founded in the 10th century by the Arabs. Located 15 km from Benidorm, it is often chosen for relaxation by those who are tired of the bustle of the city, but want to have all the delights of civilization at hand. Stunning landscapes, clean air, the harmony of narrow cobbled streets with handicraft shops, the remains of an ancient castle and a fortress wall, spring water springs, fragrant medlar gardens, from which everything is prepared here, from wines to canned food – this unique combination won the heart of more than one sophisticated tourist .
La Nucia
Sheltered from the winds by the high mountain ranges of Ayhorta and Aitana, cozy La Nucia enjoys a wonderful microclimate. There is no sweltering heat here, and the air is saturated with the aromas of pine needles, cedar, cypresses, almonds and oranges. In the surrounding valleys, persimmons, tangerines, olives and grapes are harvested twice a year, which has earned the region the name of “fruit oasis”. In the Old City, dating back to the era of Moorish rule, Gothic buildings and modern modernist villas harmoniously coexist, everything breathes peace and tranquility. You can walk around the village in just an hour, and then visit the healing mountain spring of Font de la Favara, have a bite to eat in numerous restaurants or go to the beaches of neighboring Benidorm.
Benitachell
Located 10 km from Javea, this small town is a lifesaver for those who want to get away from the noise of the metropolis, but not too far from all its amenities. The charm of the old streets, the aroma of almond groves and the hops of the branded Muscat wines of this place can conquer any seasoned traveler. People come here to stroll through the medieval squares, admire the Moorish-style villas, but most importantly, swim in the numerous secluded bays or go snorkeling in their clear turquoise waters.
Busot
20 km from Alicante is a tiny village with an area of just over 33 km2. There are no beaches or luxurious palaces here, but the place is included in the list of the main attractions of the region. The reason is the unique cultural and natural heritage: tourists from all over the world are attracted by the amazing stalactite caves of Canelobre, the ruins of the Moorish castle, one of the oldest churches on the coast of San Lorenzo, towers and chapels. But above all, it is a paradise for nature lovers. The legendary mountain range of Cabezón de Oro, at the foot of which the village is located, is ideal for mountaineering of any degree of difficulty, trail running, mountain biking and caving.
Muchamel
Quiet suburb of Alicante is located just 9 km from its center. Back in the 18th century, this place, with a wonderful climate and its own advanced irrigation system, was chosen as a second residence by wealthy residents of the capital, followed by wealthy French, British and Italians. Thanks to the influx of the aristocracy, the place was replenished with flowering gardens, luxurious palaces, villas and temples. Today it is a cozy residential area with well-maintained estates and modern complexes, exotic parks and museums. The nearest beaches, Campello or San Juan, are 10 minutes away.
Attractions on the Costa Blanca
Guadelest
Located 25 km from Benidorm at an altitude of 586 meters above sea level, the tiny walled city is known far beyond the borders of Spain. It’s hard to believe, but 9 unusual museums fit in its narrow streets, including an exhibition of miniatures where you can admire Goya’s “Nude Maja”, painted on a fly’s wing, or the Museum of Torture, which contains dozens of tools of the Inquisition. But still, the main attraction is the castle, built by the Arabs in the 11th century and carefully restored today. Its observation deck offers a magnificent view of the mountains, orange groves and an artificial azure lake.
Altea Old Center
Altea is the most bohemian resort on the coast, long favored by artists and poets from different countries, is its Old Center. Situated on a hill, it is a labyrinth of steep cobbled streets lined with miniature houses, nestled inside numerous galleries, museums, concert halls, craft shops, restaurants and bars. Crowning this splendor is the Cathedral of St. Mary of Consolation, whose bright blue ceramic dome is visible from afar. El Fornet, as this ancient area is also called, hosts endless art festivals, concerts, performances and fairs all year round, which are worth seeing at least once in your life, so it is not surprising that the city was awarded the title of Cultural Capital of the Costa Blanca.
Castle of Santa Barbara
A visiting card of Alicante – the fortress of St. Barbara, one of the largest in Spain. Built by the Arabs in the 9th century on Mount Benacantil and reshaped many times to the taste of new owners – the French, the British, the Spaniards themselves – it is visible from anywhere in the city. Since the 18th century, the fortress served as a prison for criminals objectionable to the authorities. Someone rises here (by high-speed elevator or on foot) to wander through the interweaving of chamber halls, arches, lush gardens or admire the architectural finds, household items of the Iberians and Romans found on the mountain slopes. And someone – in order to admire the surroundings from a bird’s eye view: this is one of the best viewing platforms in the resort. Worth a visit is the oldest district of Santa Cruz at the foot of Benacantil. Houses that have grown into the ground, narrow serpentine streets, a sea of flowers, bright colors – you fully feel the age of this place, those long centuries that the metropolis lived and developed by the sea.
Terra Mitica Amusement Park
Terra Mitica, an amusement park entirely dedicated to ancient civilizations, is located 8 km from Benidorm. Each era is presented in miniature in five zones – “Egypt”, “Greece”, “Rome”, “Islands” and “Iberia”. From April to October, visitors can ride a giant virtual 4D roller coaster, ride down a river in a sarcophagus, visit the Minotaur’s labyrinth, see a snake charmer show, or try out an electric canoe while admiring the meticulously recreated architecture of past centuries along the way. The cost of a day visit depends on the season and ranges from 39up to 50 euros.
Aqualandia Water Park
The largest water park of the White Coast, with an area of 150,000 m2, is located in the bosom of nature, 3 km from Benidorm. At the service of adults and children – hundreds of water attractions, pools with sea water, jacuzzis, exotic green areas, barbecues, photo studios, rental of sun loungers and inflatable circles, cafes and bars, a large free parking lot. The ticket price is 39 euros for adults and 29 for children, tickets online or in agencies are cheaper. The park is open from May to September.
Cape Peñon de Ifach
The resorts of the Costa Blanca are inconceivable without a description of its main symbol, the mysterious rock of Ifach, located in Calpe. This cape of unusual shape, towering over the sea and the city, according to legend, is one of the pillars of Hercules. The place is a must-see for all lovers of extreme sports and rare photos: walking up to the main observation deck to a height of 330 meters along a path of varying degrees of comfort, you can witness a breathtaking view of the entire coast. The cape is also a natural reserve, on the territory of which many rare plants grow, including sea buckthorn or sea grapes.
Palm forest in Elche
Europe’s largest palm grove in the vicinity of the town of Elche with an area of 5 km2 consists of thousands of date palms. It is no coincidence that the park is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List: the age of the trees reaches several centuries, some survived the times of the Romans and Moors. The plantation itself was formalized in the 10th century, at the same time an irrigation system was carried out, supplying water for irrigation from the Vinalopo River. The “star” of the forest today is the 10-ton Sissi palm tree, named after the Empress of Austria, her age is 165 years. The park is ideal for walking with children, jogging or leisurely gatherings on the cafe terrace.
Canelobre Caves
The largest caves open to the public are located 20 km from Alicante. Their bizarre arches, more than 7 million years old, are filled with stalactites and stalagmites and reach a height of 75 meters! A visit here is reminiscent of visiting a sauna, because the air temperature inside is always 20C, and the humidity does not fall below 95-100%. In summer you can explore the surroundings of the caves and visit the original village of Busot, and in winter you can witness an amazing symphony or rock concert, where mountain acoustics play the first violin.
Tabarca Island
The small island-reserve, located 4 km from Cape Santa Pola and 20 km from Alicante, was known in the Roman era, however, was used only as a production area because of underwater rocks dangerous for ships . Today, local residents, who are no more than 100 people, are completely engaged in tourism, because the number of “guests from land” in the season reaches 3000. A colorful city is located in the western part of the island – with its church, port, restaurants, squares and streets, a favorite point of Alicante for swimming, diving or romantic walks.
Beaches
The main attraction of the Costa Blanca, Spain is a luxurious beach strip. With 320 sunny days a year and 220 kilometers of coast, this region rightfully occupies an honorable first place among the areas of resort recreation. Costa Blanca boasts a record number of beaches in the country marked with the “Blue Flag” of quality and cleanliness: 68 pieces. Moreover, we are talking about both sandy and pebble or rocky bays, where, in order to dive into the clearest clear water, you need to climb a steep rock. While tourists prefer to bask on the white sands, locals prefer secluded corners: for example, Mascarat coves in Altea, Almadrava in Benidorm, La Caleta in Villajoyosa or Cala del Moraig in Javea.
Getting there
There are several ways to get to the White Beach. Someone chooses flights to Alicante, one of the largest Spanish airports, someone arrives through Valencia airport, and someone makes a transfer in Madrid or Barcelona and gets to the resort by train, plane or car.
Tips and tricks for your Costa Blanca holiday
We’ve highlighted a few highlights that we think are important for travelers planning to visit the White Coast. Especially for those who go there for the first time.
- The tourist season on the coast lasts from May to October – at this time you can swim in the sea and not be afraid of rain. The hottest months, including in terms of prices, are June, July and August.
- The best time for excursions is the “velvet season”, September-October. The heat is changing to dry warm weather, the sea water is still warm, the crowds are thinning, prices are dropping.
- Despite the large number of 4- and 5-star hotels with a high level of service, a large part of travelers prefer independent trips, which help to save money and feel free. In online search engines or agencies, you can find luxury apartments and villas and more budget options.
- Routes such as climbing mountains or climbing Cape Ifach are recommended to be done early in the morning or in the evening, after the heat has subsided. Be sure to stock up on trekking shoes, water and a camera.
- Dishes of local gastronomy are obligatory for tasting for any self-respecting gourmet. The locals especially succeed in stewed rice, all variations of paella and fideua, fish soups, tuna salmon and the famous Alicante turron.
- In Spain, as nowhere else, it is worth adapting to the regime of the locals. To avoid crowds, take decent places and avoid problems with parking, you should come to the beach by 8-10 in the morning. For lunch, it is recommended to go earlier or later than the usual time (14.00-16.00): then you won’t have to wait long and you can take any table. But it is more reasonable to make a weekly purchase in a supermarket or on the market at lunchtime – this way you will avoid queues and grab fresh goods.
Tourists’ stories about the Costa Blanca
Anton Ch. In the morning we swam and sunbathed, and in the afternoon we went along the coast – visited castles and museums, rode a catamaran, got a lot of vivid impressions. Among the minuses, I note the high prices for everything, including hotel accommodation, food, excursions. Next time we will rent an apartment in Alicante itself, because in a small town it can already be a little boring.
Natalia O.
Studying the reviews of tourists about holidays in Spain and deciding where it is better to relax, I immediately stopped on the Costa Blanca – because of the beaches and the warm sea for children. Last autumn we spent 2 weeks in Torrevieja. Stayed in a rented villa with friends, lived with two families, all with children. I liked everything – delicious food (huge portions!), entrance to the sea, comfortable modern house. Perhaps, the abundance of compatriots slightly strained – Russian was heard everywhere, signs and menus in our language were everywhere, sometimes there was a feeling that I had not left Moscow … But there were no problems with translation, and fresh press in our language was very helpful. In general, we are delighted!
Vyacheslav V.
I am a doctor, and on duty I had to visit Alicante a couple of times. I liked the excellent level of the business hotel, where I stayed for the duration of congresses, a rarity for the Spanish provinces. In the summer of 2018, I decided to take my family out, they took a hotel near the port. My wife and I are avid yachtsmen, so we rented a yacht a couple of times, went to Tabarka and fished on the high seas, an unforgettable experience. Also once on the ferry sailed to Ibiza (it’s only 4 hours from Denia). Summary: quality rest, the landscape, of course, is rougher than on the Costa Brava and hotter, but on the other hand, the warmest sea water and more affordable prices.
If you look at the map of Spain, the Costa Blanca will seem like a long white strip along the blue sea, immersed in bright greenery. This is a fertile fertile land with a unique environment, friendly people and excellent quality of life. However, the best areas for relaxing with friends can be inconvenient, for example, for vacations with children. When choosing an area for a vacation, first of all, you need to decide on priorities: is the sea across the road or is the Old Center within walking distance? Shops nearby or mountain view? It is worth exploring all the seaside towns and their subtleties, and even better – trust the professionals.

Weather on the Costa Blanca – Weather in Spain
Costa Blanca is the most famous resort in Spain, which includes coastal cities that attract tourists from year to year. The cities of the Costa Blanca are absolutely amazing, but each of them boasts amazing weather at any time of the year!
First, I must say that the sun shines here 320 days a year, and therefore the place, so generously awarded by nature with both climatic and geographical conditions, will allow you to adequately relax and enjoy the weather background, which is so rare in other countries . But sometimes thunderstorms and rains overtake the coast, but this will not spoil your visit to the exceptional region of Spain.
Weather on the Costa Blanca in winter
Castellón de la Plana
Winter is by far the coldest season in this resort. The average air temperature from December to February is 15.6ºC and the average sea temperature is around 14ºC.
Undoubtedly, winter is not the best time to plan a beach holiday, but even in this season the Costa Blanca does not lose its appeal, as it provides other opportunities for spending time.
For example, in January on the Costa Blanca, a period of various discounts and promotions begins, so winter is a great time to fully enjoy Spanish shopping! It is also the time to finally assimilate the cultural program that the cities of the Costa Blanca provide so good-naturedly, without being distracted by the attraction of the beaches, the scorching sun and the warmest sea. We advise you to pay special attention to the sights of Benidorm, Alicante and Valencia. For example, in Valencia there is a fascinating City of Sciences and Arts – a whole complex of buildings, visiting which will provide you with a pleasant and informative pastime.
City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia
There are many opportunities for more active recreation, at least for watching it, because in winter there are interesting football matches of one of the brightest representatives of the world-famous Spanish football – the Valencia team.

Source: https://7televalencia.com/es/descubre-mejores-rutas-almendros-florecidos/
The average air temperature in spring is 18.6ºC and the sea is 16.3ºC. With the onset of spring, the number of sunny days on the Costa Blanca increases, which means that this region is becoming an increasingly familiar place to visit for tourists, but still spring is not the beginning of the high tourist season. Despite this, spring in this resort has its own special charm.
The spring landscapes of the Costa Blanca are enchanting, because at this time one of the most beautiful phenomena of nature occurs – the flowering of almonds.
In Valencia, in the Marina Alta valley, you will be able to witness this beautiful phenomenon with your own eyes, because it is in this place that the almond groves flourish. In addition, in the spring, from March 15 to March 19, a traditional festival called Fallas takes place, to which a whole museum is even dedicated in Valencia. The essence of the holiday is the cultivation and then burning of figures from papier-mâché. But this is only a formal moment, in fact, the festival primarily glorifies the flame as a symbol of a new fertile life, and this idea is accompanied by large-scale events, including carnivals, festivals, and colorful fireworks and fireworks.
The main queens of the Fallas
The spring of the Costa Blanca is also famous for the celebration of Easter and its massive costumed parade that you can watch on the streets of the city.
Weather on the Costa Blanca in summer
Calpe
Summer is generally considered the ideal time to visit the tourist region, as this is the season when you can combine all the delights of the region. The average air temperature in summer is 29ºC and the average sea temperature is 26ºC, with almost no rainy days. In addition to the fact that all the cultural attractions of the Costa Blanca are open for your viewing, you can also enjoy the magical beaches of the coastal cities. A huge number of beaches have been honorably awarded the Blue Flag, but among the best beaches there are those that can be called the best.
One of the best beaches is Albir, located near Benidorm. Clean and transparent water, skin caressing breeze, cafes and bars, conditions for outdoor activities – all this you can find here.
There are also those beach areas that have their own infrastructure, for example, Arenal Bol in Calpe – a beach that is perfectly equipped for traveling to the Costa Blanca with children.
Weather on the Costa Blanca in autumn
Alicante City Beach
As autumn begins, it gets cooler: the average air temperature is approximately 23ºC and the average sea temperature is 22.6ºC. September is still considered a great month for a beach holiday, and it is he who completes the period of the high tourist season. In October, rainy days gradually begin, peaking in November, and the number of sunny days is reduced.
The cost of tours is reduced in autumn, so many tourists choose this season to visit the Costa Blanca. This is not surprising, because in addition to a beach holiday on the Costa Blanca, there are many other opportunities. Festivals and holidays do not end in autumn, because, for example, October 9 is the National Day of Valencia.
Concerts, pyrotechnics festivals, impressive and proud parades – all this you can watch as a tourist on the Costa Blanca in the autumn season.
It is worth remembering the numerous museums and galleries that can delight you with their exhibits and exhibitions even on rainy days.
Archaeological Museum of Alicante
So, having considered the weather of the Costa Blanca and the opportunities in each season of the year, you can definitely decide for yourself which period is best for you. However, one thing remains certain: The Costa Blanca region is magnificent all year round !

No matter how bright and sunny the first day of March in Spain was, the weather deteriorated noticeably.
A week before the end of March, it rained on the Costa Blanca, clouds were drawn in and ran…
Well, in any case, you can save money on automatic watering of plants in the garden.

What is the weather like on the coast of Spain Costa Blanca
Weather map of Spain showing the main resort coasts of the Mediterranean
Travelers going on vacation to Spain and its Mediterranean coast often ask questions what is the weather like in Spain in different months of the year, whether to take warm clothes with you, when the swimming season starts in Spain etc. I will say right away that describing the weather in all of Spain at once is like taking the average temperature in a hospital – the country, although not very large, but the climate in its various regions varies greatly. As an illustrative example, I will give today, November 28, 2013. Today it is quite cool, in the south, in Malaga and Cadiz, it is +16 during the day, and in the small Pyrenean village of Montesclado in northern Spain, it is minus 15.
Therefore, I will try to describe the climate in the most relevant for me (and the most studied – I have been living here for a year and a half) region of Spain – Mediterranean coast of the Costa Blanca . I want to warn you right away that you should not transfer the description of the climate in the central part of the Mediterranean coast of Spain (Costa Blanca), to its northern (Costa Brava and Costa Dorada) and southern (Costa del Sol) parts. The temperature of air and water in these neighboring areas at different times of the year can differ very significantly.
Climate on the Costa Blanca
Air temperature and precipitation in Spain on the Costa Blanca
To illustrate my story, I will immediately give a graph showing the change in the average daily air temperature in Denia, a resort town in the north of the Costa Blanca, over the past three years:
In general, the graph speaks for itself – it becomes clear why, according to the research of scientists, Dénia is considered to be one of the best climates in the world. The spread of average temperatures is very small, even between winter and summer, 26-28 in the summer months, 10-15 in the winter (a couple of peaks piercing down to plus 5 are just a rare unpleasant phenomenon). Grateful citizens even installed a climate monument on the Dénia waterfront.
Well, if we ignore the graphs and scientists and put it in simple language, then even in July-August it doesn’t get too hot here – 28-32 during the day, 24-26 at night. The proximity of the sea affects, which even in the sunniest months (the average annual rainfall in July-August is 3-5 mm, that is, one little rain in 2 months, a paradise for vacationers!) does not allow the air temperature to rise much.
In September it gets a little cooler, but not much, 26-28 during the day, 18-22 at night – here you can grab long-sleeved clothes for evening walks. There is a little more precipitation, but still not much – an average of 2-3 rainy days per month.
October is still a holiday month, this year it was 25-26 degrees during the day before it ended. But this is rather an exception, usually the average daily temperature in October gradually decreases from 24-25 degrees at the beginning of the month to 20-22 at the end. Precipitation is also a little more, 3-4 days.
The rainiest months on the Costa Blanca are November and March (sometimes February ). They are also usually the coldest. In February, at night, the temperature sometimes drops to zero. But as soon as the sun rises, as for dinner on a thermometer, even in the shade it will be 14-15 degrees Celsius.
As an illustration of the peculiarities of the sun in Spain, it is the end of November, it is quite cool, during the day the temperature does not rise above 12-14 degrees even on sunny days, but raspberries continue to bear fruit, the berries ripen quickly and turn red under the warm rays of the southern sun (photo taken November 27):
December and January in Spain are dry and warm (conditionally, of course, compared to the weather in more northern countries). The peculiarity of the Spanish climate is that the sun, even in the winter months, rises high enough above the horizon and really warms the earth. Therefore, if the day is sunny (and in December and January they are almost all like that), then even if there were frosts at night, it is quite possible to walk along the street with a short sleeve during the day (the main thing is not to go into the shade – you can freeze there, no higher than 17- 18 degrees) and walk barefoot on the sandy beach (sand warms up well even in winter). If the day is overcast, and even rainy, it will be cool, not higher than 7-8 degrees. These months are the peak of the harvest of oranges and tangerines – cool weather does not prevent them from ripening and gaining sweetness. Tangerines bear fruit until early March, oranges – until early June.
And finally April and May . warm spring months. In April, the average temperature during the day is 23-25 degrees, but the nights are still cool, 10-15 degrees Celsius. There is less precipitation than in February and March, but still there are 4-5 rainy days this month. Well, May is already much drier, on average 2-3 rainy days, the average daily temperature is 24-26 degrees (at night 14-17), on the beaches they not only sunbathe, but also swim.
Well, June on the Costa Blanca is already a full-fledged summer month, 26-28 degrees during the day, 20-23 at night. The water temperature, which is described in detail below, is already quite comfortable, the holiday season is in full swing.
When can you swim in Spain? summer and in Europe, and specifically in Spain on the Costa Blanca (on the Costa Brava it is already a full-fledged autumn, and in the south, on the Costa del Sol it is warm, but the water has already cooled down due to the peculiarities of sea currents).
Until the end of October, the water temperature here is above 20 degrees – at the beginning of the month 23-24 and gradually cools down to 21-22 at the end. Last year, he personally closed the season on October 24th. But not because the water has become cold (I am by no means a walrus, I usually don’t climb into water below 20 degrees), it just started rainy days and it became uncomfortable to undress and dress on the beach. Well, as an illustration – a graph of long-term average temperatures in the Alicante region, water – a green line:
It’s funny that the graph of sea water temperature almost coincides with the average daily air temperature (purple line). A very clear example of how strongly the sea affects the climate of coastal areas.
Returning to the question, “ when you can swim in Spain ”, I will answer this way. Guaranteed warm sea (above 24, reaches 27-28 near the coast) in July – September. In June – quite well, from 19-20 at the beginning of the month, if the spring was cool, to 23-24 at the end. If May was hot, then in early June the water often warms up to 22-23 degrees.
October has already been mentioned above. As for May, there are options. There are years when in the second half of April there is warm sunny weather and by the beginning of May the water in the sea warms up to temperatures above 20 degrees – for example, this was the case in 2011, and the swimming season opens from the first days of May. It happens, as for example in this year, 2013, that at the end of April a cold snap comes (until the middle of the month it was 25-26 degrees Celsius in the afternoon), it is better not to meddle in the sea until the end of May. So this is pure lottery.
If you like warm water, it is better to come to the Costa Blanca by the end of June or beginning of July. If you are not afraid to plunge into the cool, 19-20 degree water, then you can safely come from the second half of May, it will be possible to swim. And it is quite likely that the weather will bring a pleasant surprise. In the photo below, La Cala beach in Benidorm, the photo was taken in mid-March 2013 (it’s too early to swim, but it’s quite possible to sunbathe and walk on the sand):

Weather in Valencia
It is rather difficult to find truthful information about the weather in cities outside of Russia on the Russian Internet. Gismeteo, coupled with a hydrometeorological center, can hardly depict the weather in Moscow and St. Petersburg, what can we say about weather in Valencia , for example … On the other hand, Yandex once introduced the Climate service, which gives weather data in Valencia throughout the year . But this information is rather scarce, averaged and does not give an understanding of the true state of affairs. So it occurred to me to collect data throughout the year and compile a small report that reflects not only a general idea of weather in Valencia , but also more accurate data regarding temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation.
Air temperature in Valencia throughout the year
The most important and biggest season in Valencia is summer . It lasts from May 1 to September 30 and throughout the summer the weather changes slightly. The air temperature during the day is approximately the same, only night temperatures, humidity and pressure change.
All summer in Valencia during the day the temperature reaches +30 – +35 degrees, on some days, when one or another cyclone brings clouds with a little rain (this is possible only in May and September, in other months the sky is pristine and cloudless), the temperature can drop to 23 -25 degrees Celsius, but it’s quite rare. Yandex is trying to convince us that the temperatures in the hottest months – July and August – in Valencia do not exceed 29 degrees. It’s a delusion. Just on the Costa Blanca, as well as on the entire European Mediterranean coast, +35 is perceived very calmly, like ours +27 – +29. Maybe Yandex meant heat sensation? You won’t understand it…
Summer in Valencia is slowly turning into autumn. In October, many Spaniards still swim in the sea, most of them calmly walk around the city in T-shirts, and tourists actively use bicycles and go almost naked. Because autumn in Valencia is on average +25, and sometimes up to +30. Precipitation for the south of Spain is rare in any season, so you don’t have to worry about an umbrella and extremely light shoes forgotten at home – if it rains, it will be fine, warm and fleeting. Rain clouds come off the mountainous regions of Spain, sometimes even forming floods and small floods. For coastal Valencia, they are the exception rather than the rule. A Spaniard friend of mine who grew up near Valencia said: “I often play tennis, I have been doing this for many years, almost since childhood. And it has never happened that I went out to play and returned home with nothing for the rain. I always played tennis when I wanted to. All year round. Two or three times a week. It didn’t rain!”
Autumn in Valencia offers all kinds of sporting activities – running, cycling, rollerblading, tennis, golf and everything else, including water sports. Because there is no such heat as in summer, strong winds do not blow (on average in autumn the wind is 1-2 m / s), pressure does not jump (760 mm Hg as if nailed). Seasoned Russians in the resorts near Valencia bathe in the sea until the end of November! The Spaniards are already trying not to meddle in the water, they prefer to bask in heated pools.
Winter in Valencia starts on December 1st and ends on February 28th. Well, like winter … The season when you don’t look like in one T-shirt. When you have to wear two… All three winter months in Valencia during the day the temperature can easily rise to 20-22 degrees. On average, it is, of course, +14 – +16, and sometimes it drops to +10. It usually gets cold at night. Night temperatures can drop to zero, but due to low humidity of 50% -60%, this does not lead to frozen puddles, or to frost on evergreen palms, or to a pandemic of colds that suddenly happen in Russia every year. The wind picks up a little. On other winter days, the wind speed can reach up to 6-7 m / s, which is normal for windy St. Petersburg in any season, and cannot be compared with winter snowstorms at all. It rains infrequently in winter, much less than in the autumn months. They most often occur at night, when the air is much colder than during the day, so if you do not lead a nocturnal lifestyle, you may not see rain in Valencia at all …
Spring in Valencia starts on March 1st and quickly flows into summer. The air temperature is growing every day, the Sun, which almost did not leave the sky during the previous winter months, finally settles on it and begins to actively heat the slightly cooled earth, preparing it for the tourist season. Spring is also a great time for all kinds of sports, because the cool weather is very conducive to one’s health and appearance. This is what that part of the Spaniards uses, whose selfishness overcomes innate ineradicable laziness. On the street during the day it is +25, the sun is shining, no precipitation is even expected, the humidity is low, about 65%. It is still cool at night, +10 – +15 degrees, if you walk, it is advisable to wear a sweater or a light jacket. The water in the ocean has not yet warmed up after the winter, so most Spaniards prefer the pool until May or even June.
Sports in Valencia, Spain
Thanks to such weather conditions, many sports flourish in Valencia – water and underwater in the summer and outdoors in all other seasons. Rather, it is an outdoor sport, because of the unorganized sports activities, only cyclists traveling around the city, a certain number of rollerblades and thousands of runners can be distinguished. All other sports in Spain are supported by the state, have their own grounds, courts, fields, stadiums, etc. For example, in the bed of the Turia River (a huge central park in Valencia), there are several football fields, tennis courts and even a whole stadium for running!
In all the small suburbs of Valencia, you can find sports grounds equipped for both basketball and other sports.

‘Magnitsky’ Russian Money-Laundering Suspect Arrested In Spain
WASHINGTON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is expected to visit Washington on December 21 on his first trip abroad since Russian forces invaded Ukraine in February and as the United States considers another massive package of military aid.
Zelenskiy is expected to meet with President Joe Biden and address a joint session of Congress during a visit that coincides with the 300th day of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, according to U.S. media reports on December 20.
Two sources who confirmed plans for Zelenskiy’s trip to the AP cautioned that it could still be called off at the last minute due to security concerns.
Zelenskiy is expected to meet with Biden at the White House and visit the U.S. Capitol, where he will meet congressional leaders and members from the Republican and Democratic parties who chair national-security committees.
During his visit the U.S. will announced $1. 8 billion in already approved military aid to Ukraine that will for the first time include a Patriot missile battery and precision-guided bombs for their fighter jets, U.S. officials quoted by the AP and CNN said.
U.S. officials described details of the aid on condition of anonymity because it has not yet been announced, the AP reported. The package will have about $1 billion in weapons from Pentagon stocks and another $800 million in funding through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which funds weapons, ammunition, training, and other assistance, officials told the AP.
The news about Zelenskiy’s visit also coincides with Congress’s consideration of a $1.7 trillion spending package that includes another large amount of aid to Ukraine and comes just before adjournment of the current Democrat-controlled Congress.
SEE ALSO:
U.S. Lawmakers Unveil $1.7 Trillion Spending Bill That Includes $45 Billion For Ukraine
The aid for Ukraine included in the spending package, which lawmakers are under pressure to pass by midnight on December 23, would be more than $40 billion and would amount to the biggest American infusion of assistance yet. The aid would get Ukraine through the first half of 2023 as a new Congress takes over.
Hosting Zelenskiy will be one of the final acts for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Democrat-California), who will be replaced by a Republican when the new House session opens early in January. Democrats lost control of the House in the November elections but retained the Senate.
Pelosi hinted in a letter to colleagues on December 20 that a prominent visitor was expected at the Capitol.
“We are ending a very special session of the 117th Congress with legislation that makes progress for the American people as well as support for our Democracy,” Pelosi wrote in the letter, which was quoted by the AP. “Please be present for a very special focus on Democracy Wednesday night.”
Zelenskiy’s visit puts Pelosi’s expected successor, Representative Kevin McCarthy (Republican-California), on the spot after he said in an interview prior to the elections that Americans are “not going to write a blank check to Ukraine. ”
The comment raised concern among members of Congress who have vowed to continue supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes to defeat Russia.
As House speaker, McCarthy would have wide latitude to appoint Ukraine-skeptic lawmakers as the chairs of the budgetary and the foreign affairs committees, as well as the power to decide which bills come up for a vote.
Zelenskiy’s visit to Washington would follow a trip to the city of Bakhmut in Ukraine’s contested Donetsk region on December 20 to show support for the “courage, resilience, and strength” of Ukrainian troops.
Though Russia’s invasion has lost momentum, if it were successful in capturing Bakhmut, Russian forces would sever Ukraine’s supply lines and open a route for them to press toward key Ukrainian cities in the Donetsk region.
In a video released by his office, Zelenskiy is seen receiving a Ukrainian flag from the troops in Bakhmut and he alludes to delivering it to U.S. leaders.
“The guys handed over our beautiful Ukrainian flag with their signatures for us to pass on,” Zelenskiy said in the video. “We are not in an easy situation. The enemy is increasing its army. Our people are braver and need more powerful weapons. We will pass it on from the boys to the Congress, to the president of the United States. We are grateful for their support, but it is not enough. It is a hint — it is not enough.”
Zelenskiy has addressed the U.S. Congress once before — on March 16 in a live video address in which he called on lawmakers to pass further sanctions and support a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
He also has addressed the parliaments of several other allied countries and international organizations in live video streams. But none of the speeches has been delivered live and in person.
He also has sent his wife, Olena Zelenska, to foreign capitals to drum up assistance. Zelenska was welcomed to the White House on July 19 and was briefed on U.S. support for Ukraine. She also spoke to lawmakers in an auditorium in the Capitol and visited the State Department.

Rest in Sochi March
According to tourists, in March the weather in Sochi is very changeable, and the rain can quickly change into the sun, so don’t count too much on the forecast. The average air temperature on the coast during the day is +11°С, at night +5°С. At the end of the month it gets warmer. The water temperature in the Black Sea is +9°C. It happens that a strong wind blows, and the sea is stormy.
Take clothes for all occasions, as the weather is unpredictable. Be sure to bring a waterproof jacket and shoes, as well as an umbrella.
I know that many tourists come to Sochi in spring to see the blossoms – this is called floristry . We ourselves are going to the resort in the spring to admire this beauty. So, from the beginning of March, magnolias, Japanese quince, forsythia and cercis begin to bloom, and at the end of the month – sakura. Sometimes in early March you can still catch mimosa and camellia. It looks just magical! Come to the Sochi arboretum or the park “Southern Cultures” for the opening, because at the entrance to the parks and to flowering trees even queues are formed. Read more about floristry in Sochi in Scapp magazine.
Tourists in the reviews note that in March the prices for housing and excursions in Sochi are lower than in the season, and there are fewer people. It’s time to take advantage of this and go on excursions! During your vacation in March 2022, go to the waterfalls and canyons of Greater Sochi, to Mount Akhun, to the yew-boxwood grove, to Abkhazia. We advise you to look for excursions on Tripster – they have a large selection.
Go on your own to the Imeretinskaya Bay and see the Olympic facilities. With children, we advise you to have fun on the rides in Sochi Park.
In March it is still possible to go skiing in the resorts of Krasnaya Polyana. If you don’t ride, just take a tour and take the cable cars to the top.
Well, and most importantly – just walk around the city and admire the blooming nature!

In warm weather it is nice to sit by the sea.
Rest in Sochi in April
The weather in April is noticeably warmer than in March: the temperature in Sochi during the day is +13°С, at night +8°С, the water in the sea is +11°С. Mists roll in the mornings, and in the evenings it can be chilly and windy. It still rains often, but there are still more fine days than in March.
When the weather is good, you can sunbathe a little or take a boat trip. Just dress warmer, because the wind at sea is merciless, or choose transport with a closed cabin.
The sea is still cold, you can only admire it. If you want to swim or are traveling with a child, choose a hotel with a heated pool.
According to tourists, in April it is very pleasant to walk or go on excursions in Sochi: the weather is pleasant, there are few tourists, prices are lower, and nature is in full bloom.
April is the month of flowering and fragrance in Sochi. Sometimes plants bloom early or late due to the weather, but the peak is always in mid-spring. So if you come in early April, you won’t regret it! In April in Sochi, wisteria and forsythia bloom luxuriantly throughout the city. You can still catch a magnolia if the weather was cold. In the arboretum you will see bright pink sakura and purple cercis.
If you like hiking, go to the waterfalls, they look especially impressive in spring. During your vacation in April 2022 in Sochi, on your own or with a guided tour, go to admire the mountains in Krasnaya Polyana, Lake Ritsa in Abkhazia and the Olympic facilities in Sirius. We advise you to look for excursions on Tripster – they have a large selection.

Sochi is green all year round, not only in spring!
Rest in Sochi in May
According to tourists, the weather in Sochi is ideal in May – warm, but not hot. In the first half of the month, the average air temperature during the day is +15…+20°C, and closer to June it reaches +24°C. It’s possible to get tanned! But I don’t advise you to swim – the water in the Black Sea is up to + 16 ° C and is very invigorating. However, this does not stop seasoned tourists, and they open the swimming season at the end of May.
It rains, but much less frequently. Warm weather allows you to walk in T-shirts and shorts. Don’t forget the hats!
In May, the rivers are full of water, so go hiking to the waterfalls – for example, Agursky or Zmeikovsky. In general, everything is so green and blooming in May, so take more walks in the forests and go to the arboretum. Tulip tree, horse chestnut, bulldenezh, deutsia, azalea, tamariks bloom in the parks and the city, and the first rhododendrons bloom in the circuses of the Krasnaya Polyana resort in May.
What to do on vacation in Sochi in May 2022? Take a boat trip, breathe in the air on the embankment, go to Imeretinskaya Bay and Krasnaya Polyana to climb the mountains on the funicular. During the May holidays, you still have time to go skiing, but then the cable cars are usually closed for scheduled maintenance. Check the opening hours on the official websites of the resorts.
If you come on vacation with children, take a walk in the Riviera park, ride the rides in the Sochi theme park, go to the dolphinarium, oceanarium, monkey nursery and water park in Loo.

Climate and Weather – Weather in Mexico in March
Is March a good time to visit Mexico?
The weather in Mexico in March becomes warmer as the country heads for its hottest time of year, and the rainy season is imminent in most regions. March, though, is still very dry and the coastal areas – both east and west – are warm and sunny. The west coast, cooled by the California Current, is slightly cooler than the eastern Caribbean seaboard, and northern Mexico’s desert regions are fairly cold, influenced by the cold air moving down from north America. For a hot holiday under the tropical sun the Yucatan Peninsula (including Cancun) and Gulf Coast are the best places in Mexico in March.
Climate in Mexico in March
The popular resort city of Cancun basks in an average maximum temperature of 29°C (84°F) in March, with an average low of 22°C (71°F). With no rainfall to speak of for March, the beautiful beaches of the Yucatan Peninsula on the eastern seaboard of Mexico therefore enjoy perfect holiday weather with hot, sunny days and balmy nights – similar to that of the Caribbean islands not too far away.
The west coast of Mexico has a more temperate Mediterranean-type climate, and is warm and pleasant during March, ideal for golf on the Baja California peninsula. Acapulco on the west is encircled by mountains and has its own humid, tropical micro-climate, which means it sizzles invitingly with temperatures in the region of 30°C (86°F) during March, as it does most of the year.
As the altitude increases, the temperature tends to drop, and Mexico City in its elevated position is much cooler than the coast with an average of 18°C (64.4°F) in March. There is still plenty of sunshine, however, and minimal likelihood of rain.
What’s on in Mexico in March
Early March (some years beginning at the end of February) is mardi gras carnival time in Mexico. Most of the country celebrates this festive run-up to Lent with great enthusiasm and wanton revelry. Top spots for Mexican carnival celebrations are Veracruz and Mazatlan.
In Puerta Vallarta sailors put to sea for the renowned Banderas Bay Regatta, complemented with a Nautical Festival ashore while the races take place.
Mexico City puts on a vibrant international arts festival – the Festival de Mexico en el Centro Historico – in mid-March, with all sorts of theatrical, music, dance and art events. Culture is also on the calendar in Tequila in mid-March for a festival which has more to do with the spirit of music and the arts than the famous alcoholic drink named for the town.
What to pack for a holiday in Mexico in March
If you are holidaying on the Mexican coast in March, bring along your beach-wear, a shady sunhat, sunglasses and sun cream. Off the beach you will need cool, light, comfortable clothing to beat the heat during the day. Night-times may require a cardigan or wrap, particularly on the Baja California. Inland destinations are likely to be cooler than the coast in March, so bring a warm jacket and long trousers.

90,000 March of captured Germans in Moscow | How it really was | A taste of the past
On one of the hottest days of summer, on July 17, 1944, defeated and captured detachments of German divisions marched through the streets of Moscow. This march inspired confidence and a strong Russian spirit among the citizens and the military. He passed after the parade of partisans in Minsk on July 16 of the same year. Muscovites watched the march from different parts of the city: from houses, balconies and vehicles. The parade showed the superiority of the Red Army over fascism.
sibnarkomat.livejournal.com
The Germans proudly marched in victory formation through the main cities of Europe. I had to go through Moscow in the same way, only not on a victorious march, but on the defeated.
All people who had to see the march live speak of it as a “bombshell” phenomenon. The event was announced on the radio at 7-8 in the morning, and besides, they devoted a whole article to this in the Pravda newspaper. Many residents of the capital had a panic from a large number of Nazis in the territory.
In the march of prisoners, there were about 57,700 fascists. Among them were 23 generals – those people whose physical condition allowed them to march. Before the event, they were in camps at the Moscow hippodrome and at the Dynamo stadium. The camp was divided into 2 columns.
topnews.ru
One of these columns of prisoners marched from Mayakovsky Square along the Garden Ring to Zubovskaya, across the Krymsky Bridge and after along Kaluzhskaya Street to the Kanatchikovo station. The quantitative composition of this column is 15,600 people. The other one moved from Mayakovsky Square to the left towards Sadovo-Karetnaya, and then along the Garden Ring to the Kursk railway station.
General Pavel Artemyevich Artemyev answered and led the columns. He was also the platoon commander of the Moscow Military District. The location of vehicles on the streets of Moscow was organized by General Kuzma Romanovich Sinilov and police major Viktor Nikolaevich Romanchenko.
The Germans themselves, as the story goes, did not know about the march at all. Many of them assumed that they were being led to be shot.
The columns were built in such a way that first the generals went in front, followed by the officers. After that, the soldiers were already visible. They were all dirty, untidy, unshaven and in torn clothes. It is important to note that their orders, medals and epaulettes always remained with them. In this way, all those watching the parade could appreciate their service in the past.
cemicvet.mediasole.ru
Residents dropped a lot of words about the fascists, starting from the most harmless ones. As you know, the German generals were ashamed not so much in front of Muscovites as in front of their own soldiers.
On the Internet today you can stumble upon a lot of photos, and it is clear that Muscovites behave quite dignified and restrained. No signs of aggression or revenge. But the truth is, there are those who look with anger and gesticulate angrily with their hands. Rarely came across citizens who threw stones at the Germans.
Many in the silence of the march noticed the sound of cans. It was assumed that they were tied up for humiliation, but in fact for the Germans it was a personal dish that they carried with them. Most of the prisoners walked hunched over and did not raise their eyes.

July 2019 was the hottest month on record. Temperature records were broken in the northern hemisphere at 29countries from May 1 to August 30. A third of all high temperatures occurred in Germany, France and the Netherlands. The researchers concluded that in the summer of 2019, there were about 1,200 of the hottest places in the Northern Hemisphere.
During the analysis, scientists used data from weather stations in the Northern Hemisphere. All weather stations have been observing for at least 40 years. Some of the data used by the specialists was not submitted for official review to the meteorological agencies. Verification is necessary to ensure that the measurements obtained are correct.
European heatwaves in June and July set a number of local and national records. For example, France set a record temperature of 46°C, while the UK, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands also reported new temperature highs. By the way, in September, a temperature record of 23°C was also set in St. Petersburg on September 19th. One of the authors of the study, Dr. Roberto Rode, said that in the summer of 2019, a very large number of record high temperatures were observed in Europe. In some European countries, the history of weather observation goes back more than 150 years. Also in the United States, more than 30 temperature records have been broken in the entire history of observations. In Japan, where 11 people died as a result of the summer heat, 10 records were set.
In total, the summer of 2019 set 319 temperature records. In the past, similar temperatures were recorded in 2003 and 2010. The rise in record high temperatures is part of a long-term global warming trend, Dr. Rohde said. In the past few years, 5% or more of weather stations have recorded new temperature records. The researchers note that due to climate change in the future, new records will be set every year in different places on the planet.
Globally, July this year was slightly warmer than usual – 0.04 degrees Celsius – compared to the previous hottest month on record, July 2016. The new July record followed the June world record, which was confirmed by data from several meteorological agencies.
Scientists say this change in temperature is the latest sign that our planet is experiencing unprecedented warming. The scorching July heatwave that hit Europe has become more intense as a result of anthropogenic climate change, researchers said. According to the analysis carried out, climate change has affected the rise in temperature in the UK, France and the Netherlands by an average of 1.5 to 3C.
