Seville and Málaga
The verdict for March
Seville’s sweet spot — warm, lively and still manageable.
+Excellent weather + moderate crowds
–Semana Santa, when it falls in March, raises crowds and prices sharply
March typically offers Seville’s best overall balance: warm, sunny weather without the brutal summer heat, and crowds that stay manageable unless Semana Santa (Holy Week) falls within the month — its date moves each year with Easter.
Spring starts to show
+Strong cultural atmosphere
–Semana Santa can mean busy streets
March brings warmer days and more spring energy to Málaga. When Semana Santa falls in March, the city becomes especially atmospheric and much busier.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
