Chilly in Spain

Brrrrrrr it is chilly in Zahora this morning, only 5 degrees. We are going to have to search our jumpers out, they have not been needed since we crossed the channel at the begging of September.

The sky is cloudless, the breeze has dropped so it only appears to be a temporary thing. sunny

Similar reports coming in from Benidorm area.
Milder here (Leyland), but wind & rain is just around the corner!
Eileen's just getting winter kit on for an attack on the local shops, and I've got a cold!
We'll be over there in mid feb.

I wish, one consolation is that we have NO risk of flooding like many have, that has to be a real bummer, I feel sorry for those affected.

Families of what? Can't imagine ANYONE swimming in the sea at this time of year.

Every year at Benicassim on New Years day quite a lot of the us camping there overwintering, after breakfast went down to the seafront for a duck in the sea, and yes it was bl**dy cold and the Spanish thought we were lunatics, we then returned for NY day lunch with plenty of warming drinks, Chilly in Spain 1662941468

Will you do it this year? Sounds good fun, I mean by all means give the swimming a miss but the warming drinks are a must surely?

Getting getting too old now for such lunatic fun, but they still do it.
