Expect intense heat inland with Córdoba and Sevilla reaching 41C today, so plan your sightseeing for early morning. The Costa de la Luz provides a welcome Atlantic breeze, while the Costa del Sol remains a steady 29C. Nights are balmy across the region, rarely dipping below 22C, making it ideal for the festival season. Higher mountain villages in the Alpujarras offer a lovely escape from the afternoon sun.
