Costa Blanca in December
Around 13 °C by day, sea 16.8 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 5.
December on the Costa Blanca is 13 °C by day and 16.8 °C in the sea. Load is 2 out of 5: the shore is back with its residents.
December splits the coast in two, and no other split matters more. Alicante runs like an ordinary city: winter score 5 out of 5, with the university, the hospitals and the shops working as usual. In the resort towns part of what is open closes for the winter: Torrevieja scores 4 out of 5, Moraira 3, Jávea 4. You check that on foot, and in December: in summer every town looks equally alive.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 35 rainy days a year, 66% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
