Winter sunshine retreats in Marbella
For many sun worshippers
Marbella is at its best during the sultry summer months when temperatures rise to glorious heights of 40ºC plus. Yes, the sand on the beach is too hot to walk on, frequent dips in the sea are necessary and you find yourself partaking in the time-honoured sport of running for shade, but that’s what summer is all about – this is the
Costa del Sol after all! However,
Marbella is also popular with foreign residents (especially from Northern Europe and Russia) during the milder months of the year, who like to escape the cold climates for a spot of much needed winter sunshine.
At this time of year daytime temperatures can rise above 25ºC, meaning a year-round tan is almost unavoidable if daytime strolls on the Paseo Maritimo (beachside promenade) are your forté. This is partly thanks to
Marbella having one of the most enviable microclimates in Spain, let alone Europe, due to the protective mountain range shielding the town from the harsher conditions of the interior. To make the most of this, certain properties are built with south facing terraces to take advantage of the 320 days of sunshine on offer per year. It’s for these reasons that an increasing number of foreigners are spending the winter in
Marbella before returning to their native country in the summer when the
Costa del Sol’s temperatures rocket.
And with a climate this good, golfing becomes a popular pastime during the day? For this is also the Costa del Golf, with more than 60 golf clubs along between Gibraltar and Málaga, many of which are world class. In
Marbella we have our very own ‘Golf Valley’, offering a number of top clubs including
Las Brisas,
Aloha and
Los Naranjos, which will suit many sun-seeking visitors down to a tee! So if you would like more information about spending time in
Marbella over the winter,
give us a call today.
