The summer season in Spain is here, and with it the holidays, trips and in general the movement of people out and about to enjoy the good weather.

For some though, the main thing is to escape from the high temperatures that occur especially between July and August. That is why they prefer destinations further north in Europe or even other continents. Unfortunately, Andalucía is often recognised as a destination where high temperatures can become stifling. Although some of the Andalusian provinces tend to register maximum peaks during heatwaves, the truth is that not all the region is the same. Fortunately, in addition to a long coastline, Andalucía has several mountain ranges and towns and villages nestled in them where the climate is quite mild and pleasant.

There are several options to enjoy a cool summer in the region and here we tell you about the ten coolest Andalusian towns and villages that have the best temperatures this peak holiday season. Without a doubt, they are an excellent option for those who don't want to stray too far from home, or for those who want to explore new places without suffering from extreme heat.

1. Aracena (Huelva province): With an average temperature of 26C during the summer, Aracena is a charming Andalusian village thanks to its historic monuments. Its town centre is located next to the castle. The church of Nuestra Señora del Mayor Dolor, convent of Santa Catalina Mártir, and the Gruta de las Maravillas (Cave of Wonders) are some of its attractions and places of interest.

2. Bubión (Granada): This is a village nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, which favours mild temperatures, especially at night. It has a traditional architecture similar to the Berber buildings, Steep streets and terraced houses. Its proximity to nature and mountains makes it a very interesting holiday destination.

3. Carcabuey (Cordoba): It is one of the municipalities located at the highest mountain of the province. Therefore, it is common to find mild temperatures, averaging 28C.

4. Cazalla de la Sierra (Sevilla): Characterised by its beautiful heritage, gastronomy, brandy and wines, Cazalla is an ideal place to spend the summer, as its location, in the heart of the Sierra Norte Natural Park, favours pleasant and mild temperatures.
