History in Jaén and Atlantic Breezes in Cádiz

Edition #217 of 365Santoral: Nuestra Señora de las Nieves

High summer is in full swing across the region. While the coastlines are lively and the nights are long, many locals are retreating to the shaded mountain paths of the Sierra Nevada or finding respite under the stars at Marbella's Starlite Occident and Seville's Real Alcázar gardens.

Today's reading

On this day in Andalucía

In 1341, King Alfonso XI of Castile successfully captured the strategic town of Alcalá la Real in the province of Jaén from the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada.

Weather across the region

It is a true summer scorcher in Málaga and Córdoba, both reaching 37°C, with Málaga facing a particularly warm night at 28°C. For relief, look to the Sierra Nevada at 24°C or the clear skies of Cádiz where it is a lovely 25°C. With the Mediterranean at 25°C and sunset not until 21:20, there is plenty of time for a refreshing evening swim.
