Hi there
Can anyone give me some info on the Huercal Overa/ Albox area. What is the weather like in winter?

Hi,

You can access the weather stats on aemet.es as well.

Living reasonably close to both and visited dozens of times, I think it's fair to say that if you would prefer 'Little England' in almost all respects then Albox is the winner, if you prefer an area that has not lost its Spanish ways and one where you will have to integrate with the Spanish (trust me , excellent people in that area) and share their lifestyle, its Huercal Overa. Depends on you, of course, but I like the challenge of living amongst the local Spanish.
Huercal can offer better facilities as well .( but no English pubs, Irish bars, Indian and Chinese restaurants and an 'Iceland ' store nearby!)

Gracias Lurchio. H/O sounds our cup of tea. Hope you are keeping safe. has lock down finished in your area?

One has to note that aemet has no official data for that area (no weather stations). Most would probably complain about the summers rather than the winters these days, so better off testing the waters yourself.

Although differently named they appear to come from the same weather station

Oh, God no! We are in phase 0, which basically says we can exercise out of the house, after 7 weeks of lockdown. Waiting for the gradual easing of the next phases when announced, but things will never exactly be the same here until theres a vaccine! Best thing you can do when able is come over and take a view! Covera airport best, Alicante second.

Just noted that this weather information is from Almeria airport.

However if you check the following link to a map you will see there are more stations in the area.

Just check for one that suits you from https://www.wunderground.com/wunderm...777&lon=-1.123
