Valencia and Málaga
The verdict for July
Peak summer, beaches and late nights
+Excellent beach weather + long days
–Heat + higher prices
July is hot, sunny and firmly in Valencia’s summer season. Beach time becomes a major part of the experience, while the city is best explored early or later in the evening.
Peak Costa del Sol summer
+Extremely reliable summer weather
–Heat, crowds and prices
July is hot, extremely dry and built for beach days, late dinners and nightlife. The trade-off is peak summer demand, higher prices and intense midday heat.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
Another month
