Climate:-:
Climate good year round. Hottest months July and August temperatures 30 degrees or more, coldest months January February March, however much sunshine during the day and still possible, if you are daring, to wear shorts. Evenings during these three months are colder.
There is little rain and the area is dry because of this, mostly almonds and olive trees grow here.
There are no neon lights in the area, therefore, the night sky are spectacular, you can even see the milky way and the full moon rises orange in front of the villa in the summer months, quite a view.
Festivals:-:
Spain is renowned for its festivals. These take place in virtually every town in the country throughout the year. The main ones are the summer festivals. The festivals that take place in Lorca during July and August can be forwarded to you if you require them in advance of your holiday but are also available for you to view if you go to www.lorcacastle.es. However, there is no need to book in advance as tickets are always available on the night of the event. A brochure will be left in your welcome booklet. The festivals in Velez Rubio and Velez Blanco are a good evening out and are perfect for children and adults alike, with fairground rides, and concert events.
More places of interest:
The city of Granada, not far from Sierra Nevada has many attractions including the Alambra Palace, well worth a visit. A three hour drive to Malaga, and you will also find many attractions including the Piccaso art museum.
Please note that driving on the motorways (autovias) throughout Spain, and particularly through Andalucia is very relaxed with little traffic, unlike motorways in the UK, which are extremely busy. Therefore, journeys are far more pleasant to make.
