On this day in Andalucía

In 1493, Boabdil, the last Sultan of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, departed into exile from the port of Adra in Almería, heading for North Africa after his surrender to the Catholic Monarchs.

Weather across the region

It remains very warm in the inland cities of Sevilla and Córdoba today with highs reaching 32°C under partly cloudy skies. For a more comfortable stroll, the Atlantic coast at Cádiz is a cooler 24°C, though those heading to the Sierra Nevada should prepare for a 40% chance of rain. With the Mediterranean water at 24°C, it is still a lovely time for a dip as winds remain light across the region.
