Costa del Sol in May
Around 20 °C by day, sea 18.3 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 5.
May on the Costa del Sol is 20 °C by day and 18.3 °C in the sea. Few people swim yet: the water will be 20 °C in June and 22.7 °C in July. Load is 2 out of 5.
May is the last month you can drive the whole coast in a day. After it the roads clog. And it is worth driving: Nerja to Manilva is a hundred and thirty kilometres as the crow flies. Along that stretch there are villages where everything shuts out of season and towns that work all year. On the appraisal basis the square metre runs from €2,736 in Alhaurín de la Torre to €4,477 in Marbella — more than one and a half times along one shore.
