+Cooling weather + the Bienal de Flamenco in even years

–Early September can still be very hot

September sees the extreme summer heat finally break, especially in its second half, and locals return from their own holidays. In even-numbered years, the Bienal de Flamenco brings one of the world’s major flamenco festivals to the city.

+Warm sea and evenings

–Occasional late-summer rain

September keeps the warmth of summer while the city gradually becomes less intense. Sea temperatures remain inviting and evenings are still made for terraces, rooftops and late dinners.

Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
