Valencia and Málaga
The verdict for February
Mild, quiet and starting to wake up
+Mild weather + low crowds
–Cool evenings
February remains relatively quiet while Valencia’s Mediterranean climate keeps daytime temperatures comfortable. The city also begins building toward the huge Fallas season in March.
Mild and pleasantly quiet
+Comfortable sightseeing weather
–Evenings can feel cool
February stays mild and relatively dry, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor exploring. It is a good month for discovering Málaga's historic centre without the intensity of summer.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
Another month
