Alicante in February
Around 12.5 °C by day, sea 14.6 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 of 4.
February in Alicante is 12.5 °C by day and 14.6 °C in the sea — the coldest water of the year. Load is 2 out of 4, the low point shared with January.
February is useful because it shows the city without visitors. Alicante is not a resort with a winter season but an ordinary Spanish city, and February makes that plain: markets, schools and doctors all running, and the same people on the promenade as in October. What to check in winter is the building. Humidity here is 65%, below the coastal average, and there are 34 rainy days a year: damp is a smaller problem than in Málaga or Barcelona. But heating is still not assumed in a Spanish flat, and February is the month you find that out.
