Finally, the sun is back!

After several days of torrential rain, thunder, lightening and cold evenings we finally have the sun back. Everyone is hoping that summer has finally arrived.

Over the next few weeks many of the local villages will be having their annual fiestas and these are much better when held in the warmth of the sun. Eating Paella and drinking beer is not so much fun when done under a large, dripping umbrella, surrounded by muddy fields and having to make a dash for the car which will be hemmed in by a lot of abandoned cars, as is the Spanish way. They will party into the early hours and expect others to do the same so parking is not done with any thought to the fact that someone may want to leave early. If you park close so you don't have far to walk, be prepared to party 'till late.
