Weather lowdown
October marks the end of summer on Spain's Costa del Sol and is by far one of the most beautiful times of year to holiday in Nerja. As the temperatures drop to a lovely daily average of 20°C, life outdoors becomes infinitely pleasurable. You will still experience highs of 24°C, especially during the first half of the month, making sunbathing and swimming still incredibly delightful. In fact, the temperate climate of this Mediterranean stretch of coast means that these two activities are doable almost all year long. Lows of 16°C become more the norm toward the last 10 days of October, so it's wise to pack a light sweater.
The average sea temperature this month is a very respectable 20°C and this, coupled with an average of 9 hours of daily sunshine, makes October still ideal if it's a beach holiday you're after. The average amount of rainfall this month is 62 mm over 9 days but the scattered showers should be seldom enough for them not to interfere with your outdoor activity itinerary.
