This English man has lived here for coming up to 3 months now. The last rain here was about 8 weeks ago 3 thunderstorms at 5pm 3 consecutive days in early May. Since then the temperature has been rising and now it's almost body temperature, 36 centigrade to 22 at night.
Thats why myself and many other Saxons and Vikings live here with the Spanish....the sun, the guaranteed sun. No long dreary grey days when an English Man cannot enjoy his outdoors. No long dreary grey weeks of wind rain cold wearing coats and jumpers, here it is too hot to wear shorts.
Yes England gets a sunny day, but one can never bank on the weather to organise a bbq for instance, and here we do not have the never ending winter and the never starting summer.
Of course there are down sides to living in a Spanish holiday resort. Crowds, noise, flies, but there is so much to look at and admire. The language is not easy, but it will come. The neighbours of all races are not friendly, the Russians, Scandinavians, French, Spanish, they all keep to their own kind, but so what, I do not care, most just want to drink alcohol anyway, not my scene.
There are some wonderful views, pleasant food and drink, cheap too, cheap to eat out in pleasant restaurants, and apart form 3 evenings I can eat in my garden all the time. In face the decking is my computer room / desk, from which I am able to sit in the shade out of the mid day heat. Only sleep indoors.
Yes the heat is restricting. One can only DO things, shopping, diy, gardening, etc early morning or early evening. Mid part of the day is water or shade, sea or pool, only way to stay cool. Do not have to eat much, certainly cook much as everything is better cold.
And I soon switched off about British doom and gloom news and those idiots that govern her. Yes the sport still interests me, but, it is a better way of life here, more healthy, cheaper, sunnier. Just have to share it with a few idiot greasy diego's.
Hasta Pronto
