Music Fills the Night as Granada's 75th Festival Begins

Edition #162 of 365

June has truly arrived, bringing that golden light that lingers in our plazas until well after nine o'clock. It is the perfect moment for a chilled tinto de verano before the peak summer heat takes hold later this month.

Today's reading

On this day in Andalucía

Today is the feast day of San Bernabé, marking the 1485 reconquest of Marbella and the height of its annual fair.

Weather across the region

Inland cities like Sevilla and Córdoba are heating up, with highs hitting the mid-thirties, so seek out those shaded patios. The Costa del Sol and Almería remain lovely in the high twenties thanks to sea breezes, while the Atlantic coast feels fresher. Up in the Sierra Nevada, it is perfect hiking weather before the sun gets too high. Evenings are becoming wonderfully mild, especially for tonight's open-air music in Granada.
