August Heat and Echoes of History on the Coast

Edition #213 of 365Santoral: San Alfonso María de Ligorio

August has truly arrived, bringing that unmistakable high summer atmosphere to our golden coastlines and mountain hideaways. While the inland cities sizzle, the nights come alive with the vibrant Fiestas Colombinas in Huelva or the magical concerts held within the cool stone walls of Seville's Real Alcázar gardens.

Weather across the region

It is a blistering start to August inland as Córdoba reaches 43°C, while Sevilla and Granada both hit 41°C. Seek relief in Cádiz at a comfortable 26°C, or the Sierra Nevada mountains at 27°C. Fog will linger in Málaga and Almería, though the Mediterranean remains a warm 26°C for an afternoon swim.
