Andalucia hosts Football Peace Cup    Massive Forest Fire in Almeria

On Friday at 4.30pm I was in my car outsider my villa in Marbella – the temperature gauge read 30 degrees – a typical scenario for a warm July afternoon.

I drove 16 kilometres east to Fuengirola, a journey taking just short of 30 minutes. On arrival, the gauge read 42 degrees.

Sue enough, I stepped out of the car, and the heat was searingly uncomfortable, reminiscent of some of the unpleasant weather I had previously experienced in Florida and the Far East. It felt as though the sun was literally ´baking´ everything – it was the hottest I had experienced since owning property on the Costa del Sol for the last 8 years.Lucklily, my stop in Fuengirola was only a short one, and I was soon back on the road to Marbella. I watched in amazement as the temperature gauge steadily ticked down from 42 degrees to 30 degrees again on my journey home.

I cannot understand how the temperature difference can be so great between 2 places just 16 kilometres apart. Can anyone advise on how this can happen?

Last Friday afternoon I was continuing the serach for the birthday bike I’d promised my soon to be 8 year old.

We went from La Cala, where we’d dropped the rest of the family at the stable to Malaga. Outside PC City in the Guadalhorce Commercial Centre it was 45 degrees - at 19.30. By the time we’d finished buying smoked salmon in IKEA and returned to San Pedro it had dropped a mighty 20 degrees by at 22.00.

Amazing weather, beautiful place.
