Marbella in February
Around 13.5 °C by day, sea 15.4 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 1 out of 5 against 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 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 laid out in the late fifteenth century, stands back from the seafront and goes about its own business in February. The hospital is 9 minutes away. Puerto Banús, built in 1970, is empty in winter, and the gap between the town's two halves is obvious.

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: 41 rainy days a year, 69% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
