Can’t really give the definitive answer to that, being in Portugal. The rain in Portugal falls mainly on my van. ?Looking around social media it seems like a lot of Spain is getting cold, wet weather just now.
But is it true that the rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain?
If I was honest, the last couple of days has been difficult. The weather, especially on the coast, a full blown storm. The delivery drivers strike, and having no diesel, how long would I be stuck here, will the strike last weeks, not days. Sleeping in a noisy supermarket car park, ahh, the list went on and on. Maybe even feeling lonely. If I’d phoned Nic saying I was a bit low, would have worried her, making the situation even worse. I got fuel at about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and I left there immediately. Whoosh, gone.
Stayed the night in a tiny village. There, I was treated to a rehearsal of local dancing. Loads of waving arms, foot stamping and twirling around. All very nice. Nic reckoned it was Portuguese version of Maurice dancing. Didn’t see Maurice anywhere.
Today I continued onto Monsaraz. On a hill over looking the lakes. Walked down to the lake, not difficult, walked back up to the van. Now that was hard work. The view from the windscreen at the moment is amazing. Panoramic, but under a lead grey sky.
That said, life’s improved, even if the weather hasn’t. Cheerful again.
