If you are driving from Madrid to Granada or Malaga you’ll have “suffered” some ‘hair dryer’ wind… It’s hot in Spain right now.

It’s summer what would one expect?! There’s a saying in Spain the south of Spain “is the frying pan of Spain!” Cordoba, Granada, Sevilla reach over 40 degrees heat in the summer!

Life in Spain is outside. People hang out in their gardens by the pool if they have it. When we are at home we spend our time in the garden by the pool. It’s amazing to be outside. If we are lucky we have a fresh and gentle breeze caress our faces, and the sun kiss our skin.

Where to go in Spain?

Right now and for the rest of the summer moths, the best places to be is by the sea in Spain. Anywhere in Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Altea, Malaga, Marbella, Cadiz and so on… There are so many towns by the sea in Spain take your pick…!

It was our first time in Malaga and we loved it! We stopped for one night in Granada. It was over 40 degrees. Granada is inland. Nearest sea is an hour and 20 min drive. No wind. Just the heat. We walked less than 5 minutes and we were drenched in sweat.

If you get bored of Malaga you can head to Marbella which is 42 min drive. Marbella right now is dead. Marbella is known to be full of tourists! When we were there a few weeks ago it was empty. Marbella is not recommended in the tourists guides. Why? Because it’s full of tourists and it’s not considered a Spanish town.

It’s been known to be the richest part of Spain because of the tourists from the UK and Northern Europe. The foreigners seem to love Marbella. I understand why. It’s a gorgeous town right by the sea. If you don’t want a super Spanish vibe go Marbella! However, that wouldn’t be my personal pick.
