Marbella in February
Around 13.5 °C by day, sea 15.4 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 1 of 5.
February in Marbella is 13.5 °C by day and 15.4 °C in the sea. The water is at its yearly floor in February and March, and load is 1 out of 5.
February is for looking at the town rather than the shore. Marbella has 160,478 residents: only Málaga has more on this coast. The old centre, with its Orange Square and fifteenth-century walls, stands back from the seafront and goes about its own business in February. The hospital is 10 minutes away. Puerto Banús, built in 1970, is empty in winter, and the gap between the town's two halves is obvious.
