Málaga in May
Around 20 °C by day, sea 18.3 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 of 4.
May in Málaga is 20 °C by day and 18.3 °C in the sea. Eighteen degrees is the line at which people go in, and May is the first month to reach it. Load is 3 out of 4: summer has not started.
May is useful because two things line up in it that never line up again in the year. The weather is already summer's and the city is still its own: July and August run at 4 out of 4 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 €3,206 on the ministry's appraisal and a one-bedroom rents at €950 on the registry: both below Barcelona's for the same set of city conveniences.
