Typical climate

Warm in March

Andalusia, the Algarve, Sicily and Crete start to pull ahead of central Europe. Weather swings a lot from week to week.

Spring on the south coast means mid-to-high teens, not swimming weather. The north is still winter.

Places that usually fit

  • Andalusia and the Algarve

    Often the first mainland stretch that feels properly springlike.

  • Sicily and Malta

    Mild days, sea still cold.

  • Canary Islands

    Remain the warm outlier if you want shorts weather.
