Lilac Streets and Indie Beats: Spring Peaks in Almería

On this day in Andalucía

In 1920, the legendary bullfighter Joselito El Gallo died in the ring, sparking national mourning in his native Sevilla.

Weather across the region

Expect mild breezes on the Costa del Sol and Almería with highs of 24C, making it a lovely night for the Viva Suecia concert. Inland cities like Sevilla and Córdoba are heating up towards 30C, so plan your sightseeing for the cooler morning hours. The Sierra Nevada mountains remain crisp in the shade, while the Atlantic coast of Huelva and Cádiz stays refreshed by a light levante wind.
