Going to Spain End of March - what clothes for 17c heat?

I've been over in Feb and to be honest this time of year can get a little chilly, although after a winter in the Uk, you maybe ok with a t shirt/ short sleeve top and a cardigan.

Take jeans etc and short sleeve tops, but make sure you take cardigans etc to cover your arms incase it does get a little chilly. I always prepare for maybe one hot day and take a pair of linen trousers.

Flip flops under trousers are ok, but take some pumps/ flats aswell.

17c is the sort of temperatures we'd get in the UK (well at least in the south) towards the end of April/May time. Today is 14c (yay! spring is on the way!). Take spring type clothes and a cardi/jumper for when it's a bit cooler...

Just make sure you have a jacket as it does get really cold in the evening. During the day it should be warm enough for shorts etc but always remember your jacket.

Shorts and teeshirt for the daytime, It will get cold at night though so you may need to take something warmer with you too!

l'm also going the last week in March, to the Costa del Sol, and I would expect daytime temperatures to be well in the 70's. The average high in March is 66* F (shade), in Benalmadena, and for that average to be reached there must be many days when the temperature is much higher. It's also more usual for the temperature at the end of March to be higher than the beginning.
I would expect to be wearing shorts, T-shirts & flip flops or sandals by day, and a shirt and trousers in the evening. In addition, I will probably carry a fleece at night, just in case it's needed. I certainly don't think you'll want boots and leggings.
You haven't said where you are going but if it happens to be the Costa Blanca the temperatures will be just a little lower than the Costa del Sol. If it is, in fact, the Costa del Sol the link below should help, and you will see that the record high for March is 89*F so it can get hot!

Sixty two degrees/ 17c isn't that warm. Try leggings with stylish boots vs cold weather ones, a cotton shirt and either a denim jacket or a blazer. Dressing in layers no matter what style you choose is your best bet. An overcast day with a breeze at 17c will feel much colder than a bright windless 17c.

Well IM in the south Costa Blanca Spain and today its 20% and very sunny ,don't forget the temperature is taken in the shade so it always feels warmer.
By the end of March it will be in the low 20s and coming from UK that will feel really warm to you .
There are tourist here at the moment and they are in shorts and tee shirt , what part of Spain are you coming to .
Bring your summer clothes but something warm for the night ,have a lovely time when you get here.

I am sure you look good in tees and shorts or skirts. Spaghetti strap knee length dresses with sandals would be comfy too. Always bring along a light jacket or cardigan for chilly evenings.

17c is not heat, is cold
you need long sleeves blouse, trousers, vests etc, closed shoes
