7 Reasons to Visit the Costa del Sol in July

July is the perfect month to enjoy summer in the south of Spain. If you're looking for the ideal place to disconnect, relax, or simply live an unforgettable holiday, the Costa del Sol has everything you need and more. At GR Estates we’ve spent years helping people like you find not just accommodation, but a complete experience. That’s why today we’re sharing 7 reasons why July is the best month to come to the Costa del Sol.

1. Perfect weather: sunshine almost every day guaranteed

In July, the weather on the Costa del Sol is simply spectacular:

• Average temperatures between 25 and 32°C.

• Virtually 0 days of rain.

• Refreshing sea breeze in the afternoons.

This means you can enjoy the beach from morning until late afternoon, go on excursions without worrying about the weather, and go out at night without a jacket. What could be better?

2. Beaches at their best

From Fuengirola to Nerja, including Marbella and Benalmádena, in July the beaches are at their peak:

• Well-maintained sand, clean waters, and active services.

• Open beach bars, available sunbeds, sports areas...

• Many blue flag beaches and options for families, couples, or groups.

Fancy a sunset swim? July is your month, and this is your perfect place.

3. Events and local atmosphere

Summer on the Costa del Sol means joy, culture, and life in the streets. In July you can enjoy:

• Local fairs and parties (like the Feria del Carmen in Fuengirola).

• Outdoor concerts, night markets, and beach parties.

• Children’s shows, summer cinema, and more.

Here, summer is lived intensely, but always with that laid-back Andalusian touch.

4. Irresistible summer gastronomy

In July, flavours are intensified on the Costa del Sol and summer tastes like:

• Sardine skewers on the beach, right in front of the sea.

• Fried fish, anchovies, octopus, and fresh seafood.

• Gazpacho, salmorejo, and local white wines.

And the best part: many bars and restaurants with seaside terraces to dine while the sun sets... a unique and wonderful experience to live at least once in a lifetime!
