Costa Blanca in March
Around 14.5 °C by day, sea 15 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 5.
March on the Costa Blanca is 14.5 °C by day and 15 °C in the sea. Load is 2 out of 5: the season has not started.
March is the month to look at the foreign communities, because this shore is known for them. In Calpe foreign residents are 54.1% of the population, in Torrevieja 49.5%, in Jávea 47.5%, and in Alicante only 21%. A town where every second resident is foreign and a city where it is one in five are different daily lives. A different language around you, different neighbours, and a different pace of learning Spanish.

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.
