As we welcome the cooler days of October, the Costa Blanca takes on a new kind of charm. This month brings a perfect balance of warm days and mild evenings, making it the ideal time to explore the region’s rich culture, seasonal flavours, and exciting property opportunities. Here’s everything you can look forward to this October!
With temperatures ranging between 18°C and 24°C, October in the Costa Blanca is perfect for outdoor activities. Whether you’re hiking Montgó Natural Park, cycling along the coast, or wandering through picturesque villages like Guadalest, the weather is on your side. It’s also the ideal time to enjoy stunning sunsets or an outdoor meal – October really is the month for making the most of the beautiful outdoors.
This time of year, local markets are brimming with autumn’s finest produce. You’ll find mushrooms, pumpkins, pomegranates, chestnuts, and persimmons in abundance. Why not try a traditional crema de calabaza (pumpkin soup) or enjoy roasted chestnuts as the evenings cool? It’s the perfect excuse to visit local markets and sample the best seasonal flavours the Costa Blanca has to offer.
October still brings plenty of fiestas for those eager to immerse themselves in the vibrant local culture. The Día de la Comunidad Valenciana (9th October) is celebrated across the region with parades, fireworks, and cultural events. If you’re nearby, check out the Fira de Tots Sants in Cocentaina, one of Spain’s oldest medieval fairs, or the Moors & Christians Fiesta in Calpe around mid-October. These spectacular celebrations offer a wonderful opportunity to connect with the region’s rich heritage.
October is also a prime time for those considering real estate opportunities in the Costa Blanca. With demand still strong and seasonal trends pointing towards long-term buyers, it’s the perfect moment to explore new properties.
