\"brisas-marinas\"This question is very relative as it depends where are you coming from and what is the average temperature there. Nights in August use to be pleasant to walk in summer clothes and sleep peacefully on the bed. Some days air conditioning or opening the window may be useful, but beware of mosquitoes<\/a> when opening the window all night.<\/p>\n

If you plan to walk along the beach at night, especially by the end of the month, it is advisable to wear something light with long sleeves. Although not usual, if you are very close to the sea some nights the temperature exchange and the sea breeze<\/a> can make the air colder near the coast.<\/p>\n
