According to recent meteorological reports we are set for a long, hot summer. The Spanish State Meteorological Agency has published its long range forecast for this summer and is predicting average temperatures to be one or two degrees hotter than normal. For those of us in the South, it promises to be another scorcher.
Summer officially begins this evening – June 23rd – and is being welcomed in with the Noche de San Juan celebrations, taking place all across Spain.
It is a welcome relief from what has been one of the coldest springs and the wettest winter on record. With widespread flood damage and consistent rain that lasted for nearly four months. Spain, a country that is more used to making the headlines for severe drought, is now going into summer with nearly all its water reservoirs at full capacity.

Great Video John and thanks for the reminder, missing San Juan this year for the first time in years! keep them coming!
Having visited Spain for many years we fell in love with the mar menor. The town of Los Alcazares is lovely and we stroll along the prom and stop to have coffee at one of it’s many cafes. I pamper myself with a visit to the mud baths at Lo Pagan. The mud is said to have healing properties and I do feel much better after a treatment.
Really looking forward to our next visit.
