Why I Love Cádiz in October
October is one of my favourite times to be in Cádiz. I like to think of it as our second summer. The intense heat of July and August has gone, the beaches are quieter, and there are still plenty of days when I can walk down to the beach in shorts and sit outside with a coffee.
This is when Cádiz becomes particularly enjoyable. You can still swim, walk along the seafront and eat outside, but you can also spend hours exploring the Old Town without constantly looking for shade.
There is another advantage too: accommodation and flights can be considerably less expensive than during the main summer holiday period. If you’re looking for warm weather without the August crowds and prices, October deserves serious consideration.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
