Costa del Sol Confirmed Sunniest Region in Spain
While many, particularly marketers, liked to claim that theCosta del Sol saw sun for 320 days of the year no one was ever quite able to
verify it is true.

Costa Del Sol is one of the healthiest and most sought out
destination in the world.

The agency have said that the Costa del Sol welcomes 2,905
hours of sunshine each year, which is over 100 hours more than the Canary
Islands, the second sunniest space in Spain.
The Costa del Sol is a big place though. Many who have been
to Gibraltar have seen enough overcast days to doubt the findings. The size of
the Costas means that there is some difference in particular areas. Malaga is
officially the sunniest place in the whole of Spain as it welcomes over 3,000 hours of sunshine a year and a fantastic place to live.
Coming in close behind Malaga is Granada, with 2,917 hours
of sunshine, and Almería which sees over 2,990 hours of sunshine year-round.
Malaga also won an award for finest climate in Spain. They were praised by the
agency for their mild winter, mild minimum temperatures, and their moderate
summers influenced by the sea.
The average annual temperature of Malaga is a lovely 18.5
degree Celsius. It goes up to the still-manageable 25.4 Celsius in August.
Rainfall is very low in the region with only 469.2mm falling on average each
year. It’s official that Malaga may very well be the best place in Spain to
live with 3,000 hours of sunshine and light wind to stay cool.
A survey conducted earlier this year also saw Malaga rated
as the most satisfactory place in Spain to live. No wonder Andalucía and southern Spain is the first choice on northern Europeans lips that want a better quality of life and live in the sun.
Property prices have turned a corner and more and more investors are coming to southern spain to view property and enjoy the sun.
