We were in Molina, Murcia the other day, it was 39 inthe shade at 8pm. It feels more like July, August weather already, Phew!!!
not knocking it though, the Uk is flooded with rain and cold. Would still be here any day, even if it was in the 50's........

Thought i'd say about heat stroke. Keep out of the sun at midday,also around 5'ish.Can become even hotter in the campo. Plenty of sun cream xfactor 40+. no beer,water instead,wear hat and sunglasses. Better still sit in a air con bar and enjoy your hols!!!
