Honouring Flamenco Legends and Escaping the August Heat

Edition #219 of 365Santoral: San Cayetano

August in Andalucía is all about finding your rhythm between the sun-drenched coast and the cool sanctuary of the hills. As we remember the great Manuel Vallejo today, the air is thick with the spirit of flamenco and the scent of night-blooming jasmine during our long, festive summer evenings. Whether you are at Marbella for Starlite or strolling the Alcázar gardens in Seville, the atmosphere is simply electric.

Weather across the region

It is a genuine scorcher inland today, with Córdoba reaching a peak of 42°C and Sevilla hitting 40°C. If you need relief from the heat, Cádiz remains a refreshing 26°C, or you could head up to the Sierra Nevada where there is a 95% chance of rain to cool things down. The Mediterranean is a balmy 26°C, which is perfect for a late-night dip well after the sun sets at 21:18.
