Andalusia or Andalucía?

The autonomous region of Andalusia (Andalucía in Spanish) is in the southern part of Spain. It spans from Atlantic coast in the west to the sheltered coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the east and from Málaga's Costa del Sol to the borders of Castilla – La Mancha the famous flat lands and Don Quixote windmill country.  With an average of 300 plus days of sunshine a year the coastal area is an all year round destination. Not so in the inland provinces of Cordoba, Jaen and Sevilla which ha ve baking hot summers that can reach +40c and cold winters which can be 0c or less overnight.

Blue Skies, Grey Skies

I haven´t posted for a while because I´ve been in the UK. Having spent eight days of not seeing the sun once, though I have to say it hardly rained, I missed my blue sky.

Apparently many years ago I said to my father-in-law I couldn´t live without blue skies now.

Well after a difficult time and miserable UK weather, blue skies welcomed me back to Andalucia. I arrived to a brilliant sunset and have since had nothing but sunshine (though it´s not always dependable).

Having just looked at our yellow and blue forecast I thought I´d share it:

Saturday max. 19C min. 4C
Sunday max. 19C min. 5C
Monday max. 14C min. 0C
Tuesday max. 12C min. 0C

It´s so interesting to me that our Andalucian weather fluctuates so. It´s almost like being inside with the heating on in the UK then venturing outside.

I always go totally un-prepared on the clothing front. At home I get cold inside, so go outside to warm up. In the UK it´s warm inside and colder outside - always.

Never happy am I?
