Marbella is situated between the coast and the Sierra Blanca mountain range and so enjoys an unusually pleasant micro-climate. Winds may be buffeting the Straits of Gibraltar just across the bay, flattening the waves in Fuengirola or blowing spray onto the Paseo Maritimo in Estepona but the day will be calm and pleasant in Marbella.  There is endless sunshine in the summer and a mild temperature throughout the rest of the year; even in the winter months a light jersey will generally be sufficient.

Weather records show that the average temperature is 19º C and the sun shines for 320 days a year with less than 50 days of rain. Rains fall in the winter from November through to February. Given the closeness of Marbella to the deserts of Africa just across the Mediterranean, residents value every day of rain however unseasonable it may be!  Click here for the statistics.
