It's across the whole of Spain - it does seem worse in the west as they get the worst of the Atlantic storms which are now tracking further south than usual, which is giving us this unusual weather.

There is no sign on the long range forecasts (15 days at best) that there is any change in sight.

Until the basic weather pattern, like the location of the Jet Stream, which is unusually far to the south, changes significantly, we are in for a further period of typical UK weather - rain on and off every few days.

At least it is warm rain (compared to the UK).

Maybe not at the moment but over the period of a few days it's raining across all of Spain.

Vejer, and the sky is CHUCKING it down. Slips down the hillsides, water running across the roads, the fields are a lagoon, and the river hasn't seen its banks in yonks.

Not that I'm saying it rains lots here, or anything. This year could be the exception of course. Then again, they wouldn't build drains this big just for the odd wet year

Casa Santa Estevo swears blind that it doesnt rain much in Galicia

Even though the stats say it rains 1500-2000mm year in Galicia on average compared to about 800mm in London (for example), or 500mm in Malaga

And that I spent a holiday there in June and it didnt stop raining day or night for 4 days.

Apparently I was in the "wrong part of Galicia" i.e. I went to the whole North and West coasts

So what part of Galicia are you talking about?
Galicia is about 30000 km2
London is about 1500 km2
And the city (or are you talking about the province?) of Malaga is 550 km2
They are hardly comparable with each other for a number of reasons.
I have challenged you before to show me a link to these statistics you are quoting, but they seem, to be like the proverbial climate change evidence; in reality they do not exist.

Nowhere have I stated it does not rain much. But I will say it rains less here inland than on the northwest edge of Galicia, for example in the cities of A Coruña or Santiago.

And for the Lost's information here is your weather for the next week:
http://www.eltiempo.es/santiago-de-compostela.html
dipped out again tomorrow but then a whole week without the displeasing rain!
