The searing heat of Andalucia and the Algarve is much over-rated.
Searing heat? Depends how you\’ve organised yourself. If you\’re a few miles inland, a few hundred feet up, then you get the most delightful breezes on those summer afternoons.
Andalucia doesn\’t of course: but then that\’s also full of Spaniards so who would go there anyway?
You have to make the necessary allowances for English sensibilities. A midday temperature of 75°F in the UK has sundry variations of “phew, what a scorcher” splashed all over the tabloids. Where I am it has people remarking on how chilly it is.
