Málaga in March
Around 15.5 °C by day, sea 15.3 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 4.
March in Málaga is 15.5 °C by day and 15.3 °C in the sea. Only February runs colder — 15.2 °C. The air is already spring's, and it is still too cold to swim.
March is the last quiet month before Semana Santa. Load rises to 3 out of 5, and during Holy Week itself the city belongs to the processions: streets closed, transport rerouted. The date moves — Holy Week falls in March some years and April others — and that is the first thing to check when planning a trip. For viewing flats, come before it: an ordinary March day shows you the city and how it works, a festival day shows you the festival.

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: 46 rainy days a year, 71% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
