  Calima dust

  1 mrt – 31 aug · meestalStofseizoen

  Saharan dust rides in on a southerly and turns the sky orange and the parked cars brown for a day or two at a time, most often in spring and again at the height of summer. The met agency warns for it. Bron ↗

  Cruise calls at the port

  1 apr – 31 okt · meestalCruiseseizoenDruk

  The port takes several hundred calls a year and the passengers walk straight into the centre, so Calle Larios, the cathedral and the Alcazaba are thickest between ten and four on a two-ship day. Bron ↗

Topdrukte — Cruise calls at the port, Summer holidays in Spanje

• Seizoen

  Sea warm and espetos lit

  1 jun – 15 okt · meestalZee op temperatuur

  The chiringuitos run their sardine boats aground on the sand and grill on them from early summer to autumn. The Alboran is swimmable long before and after the school holidays.

• Seizoen

  The terral

  15 jun – 15 sep · meestalWindseizoenRisico

  Instead of the sea breeze, a dry wind comes down off the mountains behind the city and sits for two or three days. It is what turns an ordinary Malaga summer week into an unbearable one.

• Risico

  Wildfire season

  15 jun – 15 okt · meestalRookseizoen

  The Sierra de las Nieves and the hills behind the Costa burn in most bad summers, and a fire inland puts smoke over the coast and closes the mountain roads for a day or two. Bron ↗

  Jellyfish on the beaches

  1 jul – 15 sep · meestalInsecten & ziekten

  Warm water and an easterly push mauve stingers onto the city beaches in some summers and the lifeguards fly the flag for a day or two. Which years are bad is not something anyone can tell you in advance. Bron ↗

  Autumn storms and flash floods

  1 sep – 30 nov · meestalOverstromingsseizoen

  A cut-off low over a warm Mediterranean can drop a season's rain in a few hours, and the dry riverbeds inland are what carry it into the towns. One or two days a year, and they are severe ones. Bron ↗
