Málaga in November — Full Picture
November in Málaga is mild but wetter — averaging 20°C/12°C with around 6 hours of sun and the year's higher rainfall (along with December). Even so, there are plenty of bright, pleasant days.
Low season returns, with quiet attractions and lower prices — a good time for the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro, the Picasso Museum and Casa Natal, the Cathedral, Soho, and the port without summer crowds. Days are still comfortable for walking; evenings are cool, and you'll want a jacket and an umbrella for the rainier spells.
The sea (around 19°C) is cooling and most won't swim, but the seafront promenade and many chiringuitos stay open for espetos lunches on the sunnier days.
Day trips are doable but check the weather — the Caminito del Rey is more pleasant on dry, clear days, and Ronda can be misty. Granada and Córdoba (indoor monuments) are reliable wet-weather options.
Note: it's the wettest month, so pack for rain — but Málaga still gets more sun than most of Europe.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Mild autumn — around 20°C/12°C, with sunny days and the year's higher rainfall. A light jacket and layers; a folding umbrella for wet spells. Still pleasant for sightseeing.
