Savouring the Golden Light of Cádiz as Summer Beckons

Edition #147 of 365

As May draws to a close, the purple jacaranda blossoms are carpeting our city plazas in a stunning lavender haze. The evening light is now lingering past nine o'clock, making it the perfect week to enjoy a chilled glass of sherry before the peak summer heat arrives.

Today's reading

On this day in Andalucía

On this day in 1808, the Supreme Junta of Seville was established to coordinate the resistance against Napoleon's forces.

Weather across the region

Expect Atlantic breezes to keep the Costa de la Luz at a comfortable 24°C, perfect for beach strolls. Inland, Sevilla and Córdoba are already touching 30°C, so stick to the shade of narrow streets during the afternoon. The Sierra Nevada remains crisp with highs around 18°C, while the Costa del Sol enjoys dry sunshine. It is a brilliant time to travel before intense humidity settles on the coast.
