La Axarquía has its own micro-climate which, being surrounded by hills, creates a sub tropical feel influenced by the proximity of the sea. The predominant characteristics of the climate are hot, dry summers, mild winters with variable rainfall, almost constant sunshine and an absence of frost. This unique weather pattern makes the region ideal for growing a variety of fruits and vegetables that thrive in warmer conditions.

The local agriculture benefits immensely from this climate, contributing to the area’s economy and the rich culinary traditions for which it is known. The region’s cultural heritage is also deeply intertwined with its climate. Festivals celebrating the harvest season, traditional music and dance, and culinary events highlight the local customs and community spirit.
