Costa de la Luz Weather

Costa de la Luz weather
Costa de la Luz is Spain’s most southwesterly coast in the province of Andalucia, and translated from Spanish means ‘Coast of Light’ due to the bright sunshine the area is bathed in. The summer months are hot but not as intense as the Mediterranean can be, as gentle Atlantic breezes drift in to take the edge off the heat. Daytime temperatures during the summer months range from the mid 20s in May to the 30s in the hottest month of August. The temperatures in the evening will dip to around 15C to 20C so a summer Costa de la Luz holiday will always be warm.
