It's really not strange weather in Spain for the time of year. It has its own name "Gota Fria" "Cold drop"and is expected in October/November. It's to do with the different air temperatures when the cold air arrives.

See wiki explanation.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_drop

The years it doesn't arrive are a bonus!

When are you there Peter, I've booked it from the 15th January to 5th of February.

Hi Brian
We should get there on the 4th Feb all being well, We normally take one stop over on the way from Bilboa but next year we will be in the Caravan (sorry for swearing lol) so don't know yet if it's the same, but we have had to swop from the Mo Ho so perhaps see you there. Pete

May see you for a day or so, my departure date is pretty flexible. From the picture in post #71 it seems to have dried out pretty quick anyway.

Nice to see this photo, only problem is there are a few people missing. So wish we were there with you. Best wishes to you all for a great winter on Villasol.
