Ohhh Jean - you are going to turn up looking like Eskimo Nell
Don't believe a word of it
Winters in Spain can't be half as bad as they are up north (speaking as a Lancashire lass born and bred - but I escaped when I was 20
) I have been back though and I still say if you are born up north you can handle the cold
You will be ok. P.s. Bring the quilts though, and don't throw the woolies out

Last winter was my first as a resident in Spain and I thought it was pretty mild compared to previous winter holidays we had spent in our house (which is 5km inland and not up in the mountains). We hardly had to use our gas heater at all. I did buy a hot water bottle and sat with it on my lap whilst watching TV at night, as I found my hands got chillier than anything else and I refuse to wear gloves indoors!

Of course, this summer has been much more bearable than last, too!

Isn't it ridiculous that you have to get UNdressed to go OUTside!!!?
When the sun is shining during the day, it's usually still very pleasant outdoors.

What about submarines? If it's colder the higher you go above sea level . . . .

Also it is often warmer outside in winter than in the older type of house, strange but true. the houses are built to keep heat out , definately not heat in, but you sort of get used to it.
