January is a month especially suitable for active tourism without the heat. Would you like to visit beautiful natural surroundings or get to know other towns and their gastronomy?<\/p>\n<h2>Climate in M\u00e1laga in January<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the post-Christmas slump for those who celebrated over the holidays, we can expect good weather and activities. I will talk about the latter a little further down. Let\u2019s look at the weather in M\u00e1laga in January and what kind of clothes you need to bring if you plan to spend a few days here.<\/p>\n<h3>Weather and temperature in January<\/h3>\n<p>The weather generally continues from December. There is usually a sharp drop in night-time temperatures from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/events\/new-years-eve\/\">31 December in M\u00e1laga<\/a> onwards, or even into January.<\/p>\n<p>Daytime maximum temperatures are around 16-17 \u00baC with peaks that can exceed 20 \u00baC, and minimums are 8-11 \u00baC with occasional drops below 0 \u00baC at night.<\/p>\n<p>Average rainfall is about 4-6 days. Little wind, and mostly sunny days or with light cloud.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8134\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8134\" style=\"width: 766px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8134 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/temperature-malaga-january.jpg\" alt=\"Average temperature in Malaga in January\" width=\"766\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/temperature-malaga-january.jpg 766w, https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/temperature-malaga-january-300x146.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sample chart to see the evolution of temperatures over the month.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>What clothes to bring in January<\/h4>\n<p>Before any cold snap in January, coats may only be needed until midday. After the temperature drop, you will want to keep them handy.<\/p>\n<p>There will be days when the sun shines strongly and you end up in a T-shirt.<\/p>\n<p>Recommended clothing in January:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Warm jacket.<\/li>\n<li>Long-sleeved T-shirts.<\/li>\n<li>Short-sleeved T-shirt.<\/li>\n<li>Thermal T-shirt.<\/li>\n<li>Long trousers.<\/li>\n<li>Appropriate footwear.<\/li>\n<li>Sunglasses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, if you plan to walk on sunny days, you may want shorts. Remember, however, that temperatures drop sharply at sunset, especially further inland.<\/p>\n<h4>Bathing in January? Is the sea water cold?<\/h4>\n<p>No, bathing in January is not common, and even less so among locals. However, some tourists find it pleasant and take a dip in the sea or pool on any sunny day in January. I remember doing it in the cold season when I was 16, after my father bought me a surfboard, so I had to try it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9607\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9607\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/espanol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/benalmadena-playa-2021.jpg\" itemprop=\"contentUrl\"  data-gallery title=\"Malaga in January: Activities, events and other things to do in 2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9607 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/espanol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/benalmadena-playa-2021.jpg\" alt=\"Benalm\u00e1dena beach in January\" width=\"1200\" height=\"540\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9607\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Although not everyone will dare to swim in January, the weather is suitable for visiting the beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What is the temperature of the sea water in January?<\/strong> In mid-January, it is between 15 \u00baC and 16 \u00baC.<\/p>\n<h3>Activities during January in M\u00e1laga<\/h3>\n<p>There are activities all year round and although January in M\u00e1laga is considered low season, it offers visitors interesting activities that they will undoubtedly enjoy.<\/p>\n<h4>Guided tours in the Torcal de Antequera<\/h4>\n<p>During January, guided tours take place in the Torcal de Antequera, ideal for those who want to venture into nature and enjoy breathtaking karst landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>You can also visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/tours\/antequera-dolmens-site\/\">Dolmens of Antequera<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/espanol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/torcal-antequera-1.jpg\" itemprop=\"contentUrl\"  data-gallery title=\"Malaga in January: Activities, events and other things to do in 2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/espanol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/torcal-antequera-1.jpg\" alt=\"Torcal de Antequera\" width=\"647\" height=\"231\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check the scheduled routes for this month and book your visit on the official website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.torcaldeantequera.com\/en\/guided-tours\/guided-visits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.torcaldeantequera.com\/en\/guided-tours\/guided-visits\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Almond Blossom Route<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/espanol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ruta-almendros-malaga-e1485874815580.jpg\" itemprop=\"contentUrl\"  data-gallery title=\"Malaga in January: Activities, events and other things to do in 2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3113\" src=\"http:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/espanol\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ruta-almendros-malaga-e1485874815580.jpg\" alt=\"Almond Blossom Route\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Towards the end of January and into February comes the wonderful spectacle that nature offers during the almond blossom, a preview of what awaits us in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/costa-del-sol\/spring-equinox\/\">spring<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are many places to enjoy this display.
