Almería prepares for the party while summer showers cool the south

Edition #232 of 365Santoral: San Bernardo de Claraval

It is that peak August moment where the coast is buzzing and the nights stay balmy. While we wait for the Feria de Almería to kick off tomorrow, the evening air is filled with music from the Alcázar gardens in Seville to the Marbella hills. Today also marks the birth of Seville's own Paco Valladares, a legendary voice that once defined our local airwaves.
