Dunno. Which would be just right?

I'm sure we could quite easily accomodate your requirements by arranging a combination of all four.

Firstly blown into the sea and drowned, then washed up on shore to be dried out and done to a turn on the fire in time to make a tasty feast for the bears.

How does that grab you.

Only joking of course,..isn't that right Bil ?

By the way, I hear from our local weather expert/forecaster that we are expecting the worst Winter in a thousand years, so maybe Africa should be the way to go.

Watch out for those Lions though.

Dear god, that bad a winter?

What's this, Bil turning all religious ?
Must still be hope for your salvation yet Bil.

I don't think bears go for takeaways. However in spite of your horrendous forecast, I took my dog for a walk at 6'clock this morning with jogging trousers and a fleece over my flannel pyjamas and to my surprise it was very mild with a gentle warm breeze and a hunter's moon. Not suprisingly I have been nursing a bad head cold for 3 days with all this crazy weather so that may do for me in the end. No plastic flowers please!

In July and August?

in my part of Valencia it gets a bit hot (for me) for maybe a week or so in August - it's not so much the heat though - more the humidity


it does get VERY wet for a few days at a time in the autumn & spring


it rarely feels REALLY cold though - overnight & first thing in the morning it's a bit chilly - but it almost always warms up to around 20 during the day

It has been really nice here during October. Look at the Autumn colours in this bit from the TV the other day.
España Directo

I wonder how Galicia has terrible rainfall and forest fires all at the same time?

With reading that sort of idea I am pleased you accept as true all what you see on TV. I do not.

PS For example; we appeared on a national TV programme, broadcast over the summer, all what was said was a fabrication to make a story out of nothing.

Plenty of blue skies here as well.

Well yes, I was about to ask. Doesn't the north of Spain generally have very nice Autumns?

In la Costera where I live July has been hotter than August for the last few years and this year was the hottest ever with temperatures in the low 40's over a period of time instead of just the odd days but it was bearable because it was less humid than usual and we are very sheltered in this tiny village and there is usually a breeze at the swimming pool.

no one said the forest fires and the floods were at the same time. I assume that Galicia has twelve months in a year and I don't believe that channel one shows films of flooding, storms with gale force winds and horrendous forest fires which are not true while parts of Galicia are being given national disaster status. I realise that you are in the tourist trade but you can't have your head buried in the sand all the year round.

Sorry I forgot the huge fires in the province of Valencia during this summer. I hope they did not affect you too much.
I do work in the tourist trade but I do not cater for the English speakers only. If I did I would not have survived the first month in Galicia. My Spanish guests know where to go!
