1. Beach Bars, Sunsets, and Endless Summer Vibes

July in Oliva brings the quintessential Mediterranean summer to life.

2. Experience the Moors and Christians Festival

July is also a month filled with cultural excitement, particularly with Oliva’s Moors and Christians Festival. This colorful and historical event brings the town to life with parades, music, and street festivities that recreate the epic battles between the Moors and Christians. It’s a unique chance to experience Spain’s rich history and immerse yourself in the local traditions.

The festival is a sensory overload—costumed participants, the sound of drums and fireworks, and the lively atmosphere make it a highlight of any July trip. Learn more about July’s cultural events here.

While July temperatures in Oliva can reach a lovely 28-32°C (82-89°F), they remain comfortably warm without the overwhelming heat that often arrives in August. This makes July perfect for beach days, outdoor adventures, and exploring the Old Town.

You’ll enjoy long days spent at the beach or by the pool, followed by balmy evenings dining al fresco at one of Oliva’s many local restaurants. Whether you’re a sun worshipper or prefer lounging in the shade, July strikes the perfect balance of summer heat without the extreme temperatures.

4. The Perfect Time for Water Sports and Outdoor Adventures

July is the ideal month to enjoy water sports and outdoor activities. With the Mediterranean Sea warm and inviting, it’s a great time for paddleboarding, kayaking, or just a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters. For the more adventurous, wind surfing and kitesurfing are popular along the coast, thanks to the gentle summer breezes.

In addition to water sports, Oliva offers beautiful trails for hiking, biking, or even horseback riding through the stunning natural parks nearby, like the Marjal de Pego-Oliva. July is your playground, whether you want to be active or simply unwind by the sea.
