When is the best time to marry in the south of Spain?
The summer wedding season in Spain typically runs from the beginning of April through to the end of October, offering months of glorious sunshine for the perfect destination wedding overseas.
That being said, there’s no wrong time to get married to the love of your life, though having good weather does help, and luckily, even in the depths of winter, the temperatures on the Costa del Sol are often milder than those of a sunny English spring day.
Statistically there are 300+ days of sunshine with average temperatures of 26ºC in the Andalucían province of Malaga. The hot season lasts for 2.9 months, from June 17 to September 15, with an average daily high temperature above 27ºC, with August being the warmest month of the year seeing average highs of 31°C.
Most Spaniards opt for an October wedding, where the weather is just leaving Summer, but it’s still pleasantly warm for you or your guests, with the added advantage of having vibrant and beautiful autumn colours for capturing the best memories of your life.
