Watch out if you’re in the high mountains of the province, as a blast of Siberian cold reaches the province. Temperatures are expected to dip as low as -10ºC in the high mountains of Los Vélez, high Almanzora valley and Nacimiento, it should be the coldest night since 2005. Last Continue reading
Just returned from a snowball fight up in the mountains above Cabrera. Lots of lovely snow. Here’ s a few pictures.
