Alicante in May
Around 19.5 °C by day, sea 19.2 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 4.
May in Alicante is 19.5 °C by day and 19.2 °C in the sea. Few people swim yet: the water will be 22.8 °C in June and 25.8 °C in July. Load is 3 out of 5.
May is the last quiet month before the season and the best time to walk the city. Alicante is rare on the Costa Blanca: a city where living without a car is comfortable, 5 out of 5. The resorts around it stretch along a highway: Torrevieja scores 3 on the same measure, Jávea 2. That has to be tested on foot, and spring is when to do it: summer is hot and winter gets dark early. One more thing worth knowing: 34 rainy days a year, fewer than Málaga (46), Valencia (55) or Barcelona (56), and a winter score of 5 out of 5 — the only five on the Costa Blanca in our base.
