The Lecrín Valley Climate: Sunshine All Year Round
The Lecrín Valley enjoys a fantastic micro climate, with hot summers, mild winters, and plenty of sunshine throughout the year.
- Winters are cool, crisp, and mostly dry, with blue skies and warm afternoons once the sun rises. The northern part of the valley (from Dúrcal to Padul) is slightly colder due to its higher altitude, while the southern villages (from Talará to Restábal) enjoy a milder winter. This is also the season of orange and lemon harvests, with almond blossoms painting the hillsides in pink and white.
- Spring is a favorite among visitors and locals alike. The weather is pleasantly warm, and the valley bursts into life with vibrant flowers and the sweet scent of orange blossom filling the air.
- Summer is hot and dry but far more comfortable than Granada city. A refreshing breeze and low humidity make the heat much more bearable, perfect for enjoying the outdoors.
- Autumn is known as the valley’s “second spring.” Occasional, much-needed rain brings lush greenery and warm, sunny days—though rainfall here is still far less than in northern Europe!
With its mild winters, glorious springs, and temperate summers, the Lecrín Valley offers a beautiful and comfortable climate year-round.
