What each season is like

Spring
Pleasant for combining beach walks and city exploring; some religious holidays affect opening patterns and crowd levels.
Summer
Hot and busy on the seafront, with late-night activity and beach clubs creating noise; good for sea swimming but harder for midday city walks.
Autumn
Often comfortable with warm sea and slightly fewer domestic holiday-makers; occasional storms can affect beach days.
Winter
Milder than many European cities and good for urban breaks, but not consistent beach-swimming season; some outdoor venues feel quieter.
