Costa de la Luz in October
Around 20.5 °C by day, sea 20.6 °C. Warm enough to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 5.
October on the Costa de la Luz is 20.5 °C by day and 20.6 °C in the sea. The Atlantic cools more slowly than the air, so swimming still works. Load is 2 out of 5.
This shore runs from the Portuguese border to Tarifa and is nothing like the Mediterranean one. The beaches are wide because of the tides, the wind is constant, there is less building. Foreign residents are few: 10.4% in Isla Cristina, 3% in Cádiz, 2.3% in Sanlúcar — against 54.1% in Calpe on the Costa Blanca. Hence the main point: life here happens in 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: 50 rainy days a year, 71% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
