Sailing from Huelva into the Height of Summer

Edition #215 of 365Santoral: Santa Lidia y San Asprenato

August in Andalucía is all about that delicate balance between a deep midday siesta and the vibrant festivals that light up our long nights. From the historic Fiestas Colombinas in Huelva to the soul-stirring concerts at Seville's Real Alcázar, the region is truly alive with a festive holiday energy.

Weather across the region

Málaga hits a peak of 37°C today, making the 26°C Mediterranean waters very inviting for a cooling dip. If you prefer it cooler, Cádiz is lovely at a mild 24°C, or head to the Sierra Nevada for a high of 24°C and a crisp low of 16°C. Enjoy a very late evening stroll as the sun stays up until 21:22 tonight.
