We live near Xativa , it´s only a short ride away from Enguera and the weather is very similar......yes, we do get snow in winter,  last winter it snowed on Dec 8th and was cleared by the 9th, There are some dull days in winter but there are also lots of sunny days as well. As a  general rule we tend to be 5 degrees warmer than on the coast during summer and 5 degrees cooler in the winter. The coast is more temperate BUT weather aside , if you intend living here then the "package" for living inland is far better than on the coast. A lot more house for your money, better lifestyle , better people , cheaper shops,bars and restaurants. ( if that is what you want ! ) . If you want the Brit bars and the nightlife , then look on the coast.

We had a similar problem , hundreds every day in the pool. There didn´t seem to be one big nest but the wasps were all over the roof of our house going under the tiles in lots of places. Asked in the local cooperativa....was given a 40g sachet of IMIDAD WP.

Cost 2 euros. This pack is enough for probably 3 sessions so split the powder into 3 lots , mixed one lot with 5 litres of water in my spray pack. Waited until dusk ( less wasp activity ) then sprayed the whole roof . Tried to get into the spaces between tiles but more of a general soaking. Very little wasp activity while spraying. Next day there were still some wasps about but they seemed to be young ones ,( maybe just hatched ) but no where near as many. By day 3 , very few wasps around the pool, perhaps 8 -10 in a day. The powder seems to be a stronger version of the stuff for spraying on fruit trees , which is used every 21 days so I may need to repeat as neccessary but that´s a small price.
