I will be traveling to Cote de Sol in Spain for the middle two weeks. Wondering what type of clothing I should be taking.
Answer:
By November winter will be beginning.
Winter in the Costa del Sol is mild - and if you’re lucky you’ll be able to go out with just a light jacket.
However winter - is the most variable season - so I would recommend you take a rain-coat and something warmer just in case.
Also - take into account that due to the mild climate and most visitors arrive in summer - a lot of accommodation won't have central heating, so be prepared to wear thick socks and woollies when you are indoors, and bring heavy pjs.
Sue ought to know that there’s much much more to the Costa del Sol than beaches and shopping.
I am sure that you’ll find plenty to do that you don't need blazing sun for. Why don't you post the town you’ll be staying in to get some recommendations.

What type of clothing should I pack?
In Spain, people dress differently according to the season, the place they’re going to, and the circumstances. In the coast, because of the mild climate, it is usually not necessary to pack warm clothes; while in the interior, you should dress according to the season. In the interior of Spain, temperatures vary greatly from one season to the next, with very cold winters, and really hot summers. Spanish people don't dress up too much to go out, although of course, it depends on where you are going.

Answer:
Warm clothing. You are prone to see more clouds than sun during November. Why, I wonder, are you going then? It's probably going to be pretty nasty. Plan to spend more time shopping and touring than on the beach.
Answer:
Really you should take a mixture. The one thing you can rely on is that it is never really going to be cold. In the evening you will probably need a jumper or something similar.
Answer:
Who can state, if you were here today you would need your umbrella but no coat, it's quite warm. November can be cold well to us locals. I suggest you ask the question beginning of November.
