Purple Skies and Salt Breezes: Spring is in Full Swing

Edition #131 of 365

The jacaranda trees are beginning to blanket our cities in a stunning violet haze. It is that magical window where the days feel endless but the fierce summer heat has not yet locked us indoors.

Today's reading

On this day in Andalucía

In 1931, this date marked a significant turning point in the social history of Málaga during the Second Republic.

Weather across the region

Expect warm sunshine across the region today. Inland cities like Sevilla and Córdoba will see highs around 28 degrees, while the Costa del Sol remains comfortable at 22 degrees. The Sierra Nevada still holds a crisp chill in the shade, but the Atlantic coast of Huelva is perfect for a breezy walk. It is a brilliant day to be outside before the June glare arrives.
