Jaén Celebrates San Juan and the Summer Nights Sparkle

Edition #170 of 365

With Jaén’s Feria de San Juan starting today and Granada’s 75th International Festival in full swing, summer is truly here. The nights stay warm long after the sun dips, making it the perfect time for 'tardeo' drinks that transition into dinners under the stars.

Today's reading

On this day in Andalucía

On this day in 1485, the city of Marbella was captured by the Catholic Monarchs during the final stages of the Reconquista.

Weather across the region

Inland cities like Sevilla are hitting 36°C, so stick to the shade. The Costa del Sol and Almería are lovelier at 28°C with a sea breeze, though the Costa de la Luz is bracing for a bit of 'Levante' wind. The Sierra Nevada remains crisp for a morning trek, while Huelva’s Atlantic coast is the place to be for a proper cooling dip.
