Andalusia unfolds like a sunlit tapestry of whitewashed villages, Moorish palaces, and wide, olive-green plains where the light seems to sharpen every color.

Jul–Aug (crowds/price spikes)
Spring (March–May): Ideal weather—warm days, blooms and comfortable sightseeing. Peak begins around Semana Santa and Seville’s Feria de Abril; book early. Córdoba’s Patios Festival and Romería del Rocío occur in May. Summer (June–August): Hot inland (35–45°C), pleasant coasts. Highest tourist season—crowded beaches, higher prices. Málaga Fair and many local ferias peak in August; inland cities can be uncomfortably hot. Autumn (September–November): Mild, golden light and fewer crowds—excellent for walking, wine harvest events, and tapas. Early autumn still busy; by October–November it’s off-peak with lower rates. Winter (December–February): Mild on the coast and cities, cold in the mountains with skiing in Sierra Nevada. Low season offers good deals and authentic local life; Carnival and Three Kings parades add festive highlights.
