The warning, by official weather agency AEMET, is in force on Tuesday, with highs of 38C expected.
The yellow-level alert is also in place in the Axarquia and parts of Murcia.
On the very same day, more than a dozen provinces in the north-east of the country are on a yellow alert for strong thunderstorms, rain and hail.
The wet – and bizarre – weather for the middle of August will strike in Zaragoza, Huesca, Castellon, La Rioja and other neighbouring provinces and towns.
