Málaga in May
Around 20 °C by day, sea 18.3 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 4.
May in Málaga is 20 °C by day and 18.3 °C in the sea. Few people swim yet: the water will be 19.9 °C in June and 22.5 °C in July. Load is 3 out of 5: summer has not started.
May is useful because two things line up in it that summer pulls apart. The weather is already warm and the city is still its own: June to September run at 4 out of 5 and the centre belongs to visitors. For anyone choosing a neighbourhood it is the best time to walk — Málaga scores 5 out of 5 for living without a car, and that is tested on foot. The square metre is €3,283 on the ministry's appraisal and a one-bedroom rents at €950 on the registry: both below Barcelona's (€4,595 and €1,150) for the same set of city conveniences.
