Towns and cities on the Costa Del Sol enjoy mild, warm and hot temperatures year-round, but the most popular time to visit is between June and September. During these months, the average temperature stays firmly in the twenties, and rainfall is low.

For a sightseeing or activities holiday, late spring and early autumn can be excellent times to visit. In these months the weather remains warm and dry, but the slightly cooler temperatures allow for hiking, climbing, and cycling.

Luxury resorts in this region typically provide a number of delectable dining options and will serve Spanish and international cuisine with a chic modern twist. Enjoy breakfast by the pool, champagne on rooftop terraces, and dinner overlooking the Alboran Sea.

In local restaurants and cafés, you can sample everything from traditional Andalusian fare to experimental Michelin-starred dishes. Menu staples include gazpacho and pescado frito (fried fish), while popular drinks include sherry and white and red wines produced in the region.
