Best time to visit

Province of Almeria has a hot semi-arid climate with hot dry summers and mild winters, with almost no rain during the whole year. If really high temperatures, around 30°C don’t bother you – visit during the high season from June to August. If you prefer quieter times and lower temperatures, around 20°C, choose any month in the lower season. We spent near Almeria the whole of March and experienced 20-25°C which was great for sunbathing, and only one day of little rain.
