Insider timing tips

  • Avoid July and August if you are sensitive to extreme heat; the city can feel deserted as locals escape the 40°C+ temperatures.
  • Spring (April-May) and Autumn (October) offer the best balance of pleasant weather and manageable crowds, though prices spike during major festivals.
  • Semana Santa and Feria de Abril in April cause significant price hikes and require booking months in advance; the city is packed.
  • While winter is mild, there's a higher chance of rain, making it less ideal for extensive outdoor exploration compared to spring or fall.
  • The 'low' crowd months (Jan-Feb, Nov) are excellent for experiencing local life without tourist throngs, but be prepared for cooler, wetter weather.
