This creates a microclimate that guarantees good weather during practically the entire year, including plenty of sunny days in winter. In fact, in January, the average rainy days are between 6 and 8, and they are usually brief rains that give way to clear skies. Experiencing days like this in winter gladdens our souls.   <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We haven&#8217;t yet talked about the temperatures on the Costa del Sol in January: the lows during the day usually don&#8217;t drop below 16 \u00b0C (61 \u00b0F), with highs that can exceed 20 \u00b0C (68 \u00b0F) in the central hours of the day. At night, temperatures range between 8 and 10 degrees Celsius (46-50 \u00b0F), except in the more inland areas, where it can be colder. If you stay near the coast, you will have pleasant temperatures for walking, playing sports, and even having something hot on a terrace. Visit the Costa del Sol in January and take advantage of the calm and sunny days.   <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74f300a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"74f300a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alfrescostays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Costa-del-Sol-en-enero-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4267\" alt=\"Costa-del-Sol-en-enero.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alfrescostays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Costa-del-Sol-en-enero-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alfrescostays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Costa-del-Sol-en-enero-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alfrescostays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Costa-del-Sol-en-enero-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alfrescostays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Costa-del-Sol-en-enero.jpg 1254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5f9507 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c5f9507\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b7fa1ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7b7fa1ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The weather day by day: what you can expect<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-753b2aff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"753b2aff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On good days, you can count on several hours of sunshine and mild temperatures, which even allows you to stroll on the beach.
