Marbella in April
Around 17 °C by day, sea 16.3 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 of 5.
April in Marbella is 17 °C by day and 16.3 °C in the sea. Early for swimming, and the time of year when the town still belongs to the people who live in it: load 2 out of 5 against 5 in July and August.
April shows the main thing about Marbella: it has two prices and two towns. The average appraised square metre is €4,292, but next to Puerto Banús and in an ordinary neighbourhood these are different markets, and the gap between them is wider than between some towns on this coast. There are 9 international schools — on the coast only Barcelona has more; the hospital is 10 minutes away; winter liveability is 5 out of 5. But there is no railway: the nearest station is in Fuengirola and the airport is 45 minutes off. In April, with the roads clear, that matters far less than in August.
