Re: The Spanish climate..?
 

The figures you link to are related to the occasional Gota Fría rainfall in Autumn which I previously posted. This can distort the annual figures. The “normal” rainfall, as I said, it not that much higher than the CDS.

We also get freak rain storms here in the south. I have seen our pool level go up 5 inches in one hour! They are less common than on the CB but it does happen.

Just make sure you choose an area that is not affected when it inevitably happens!

If the OP is determined to find the warmest/driest climate in mainland Spain then surely the Almeria province is the place to head.

Looking that way.. But the post has already shed light on differences between inland and coastal..

Or go off piste in Galicia close to the Portugese border. The mountains are full of bear, wolves, wild horses, cattle and boar. as you mentioned you like life on the wildside. rivers are home to salmon, sea trout and brown trout

Could be too remote for airports unless you do not mind a drive to the airports

Re: The Spanish climate..?
 

I think you might be overplaying the rainfall Op. Yes, we get some, but not much. Javea installed a desalination plant as there isn't enough to drink.

That said, if you want hot and dry all the time then get to Almeria or Murcia.
