Spend January with a calculator and an honest map. The sea is 12 km away — Bilbao stands on a river, not on a shore, and the beach is a trip rather than a view. In exchange the winter score is 5 out of 5: January runs everything June does. Heating is normal here rather than a luxury, because the winter is real: 9.5 °C by day against 13 °C in Marbella.
