Averages for La manga in January

As La Manga is located on the Mediterranean coast of South East Spain, it experiences very mild winters which mean that it is an ideal holiday destination all year round.

January temperatures can reach up to 15°C (59°F) – however nights are fairly cool with lows of 4°C (39°F). So although you can pack beach wear, be sure to pack light jackets and long sleeved tops for the evenings.

Seven hours of sunshine each day means you will be spending plenty of time outside enjoying La Manga’s famous landscape of hills and mountains. These also help shelter the resort from much of the wet weather throughout the year.

As January is off season, accommodation will be cheaper and more plentiful than in the summer months.

The region is most famous for its series of golf resorts. Lovers of the sport can stay at locations such as La Manga Golf Oeste, La Torre Golf Resort or Club De Golf Altorreal, among others.

For a more relaxed way to enjoy the beautiful scenery around La Manga, you can follow the numerous nature trails in Parque Regional de El Valle y Carrascoy or Parque Regional Calblanque. You can set out on your own or tackle more difficult terrain with a guide.

There are many other places to visit nearby to the resort of La Manga.

A short drive away from La Manga is the ancient Roman city of Cartagena. Named after Carthage by Roman conquerors, the town dates back to 228 BC. Those of you interested in antiquity can visit the town’s many fascinating archaeological sites including city walls and a remarkably well preserved Roman theatre.
