The best time to visit Almarda is during the late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasantly warm and the crowds are smaller.During these shoulder seasons, you'll find the temperatures ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region, such as the nearby Sierra Calderona Natural Park, without the intense heat of mid-summer. The sea is still warm enough for swimming in early autumn, and the beaches are less busy, making for a more relaxed experience. It's a particularly good time for couples seeking a tranquil getaway, as you can enjoy romantic strolls along the coast or through the orange groves.The peak summer months of July and August offer consistently hot and sunny weather, great for a traditional beach holiday. This period is ideal for families, as the sea is at its warmest and there are plenty of activities geared towards children, though the beaches will be much busier. If you're planning a summer trip, booking accommodation well in advance is recommended to secure the best options.
