The best time for a road trip through Andalusia is during spring and autumn, when temperatures are very pleasant (18–25 °C). In July and August, it can get very hot, from 35 °C along the coast to 40 °C inland. The winter months are also a great time to visit. You may have a higher chance of rain, but the weather generally remains pleasant, especially during the day.
