Inland cities like Sevilla and Córdoba are heating up, with afternoon highs often reaching 32°C, so stick to the shade during the siesta hours. The Costa del Sol and Almería enjoy a gentle Mediterranean breeze, keeping things around 24°C, while the Atlantic coast of Huelva and Cádiz remains pleasantly fresh. Up in the Sierra Nevada and the mountains of Ronda, the air is crisp and perfect for hiking, though you will definitely need a light jacket for the cooler evening temperatures.
