Granada in December
Around 7.6 °C by day, sea 16.4 °C. Too cold to swim. As busy as the peak.
December in Granada is 7.6 °C by day. Load is 4 out of 5: the city fills up again for Christmas.
December opens the ski season in the Sierra Nevada, at a resort less than an hour up the road, and at weekends many locals head there. Hence the local line about skiing in the morning and the sea in the afternoon: the Costa Tropical is 60 km away, and the water there is 16.4 °C now. Testing that combination in winter is fun; living here means 7.6 °C by day in December, with heating as a necessity rather than a luxury.

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: 52 rainy days a year, 65% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
