Siempre voy a Málaga en verano.

Why isn't this en EL verano?

Hola Peter

The most natural way to say "in summer" in Spanish (when we are talking generally) is "en verano" (no article), but using the article wouldn't be incorrect either: Siempre voy a Málaga en el verano.

We we tend to use the definite article is when we start being more specific, for example:

Fui a Málaga en el verano de 1998. 

I went to Málaga in the summer of 1998.

Saludos
