Valencia in May
Around 19 °C by day, sea 18.8 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 of 4.
May in Valencia is 19 °C by day and 18.8 °C in the sea. Seventeen and a half degrees is still cool for swimming, but the air is already summer's. Load is 3 out of 4.
May is Valencia's best month for the balance of weather and density. Falles is behind, summer has not started, and the city is in its ordinary state. For anyone choosing a neighbourhood this is the time to walk: living without a car scores 5 out of 5, and that is tested on foot rather than on a map. The park in the old Turia bed runs nine kilometres through the centre — a convenient way to measure the city, because it joins districts that otherwise feel far apart.
