Torrential Rain in Spain

October 2nd, 2008 at 04:19pm Under Spain

The rain in Spain…………………..

It actually fell everywhere! Spain, especially the eastern coast saw a week of heavy thunderstorms at the end of September. In the county of Murcia, local peoples said they had not seen so much rain in living memory!

After 4 months of arid hot weather without a single drop, the countryside certainly needed it and the reservoirs needed refilling.

The Murcia region is considered the Garden of Spain, not so much because of flowers but the fruit trees like oranges, lemons, almonds and all the salad crops which are exported all over Europe.

The growing number of golf courses need a lot of water also, there are plans are for at least 30 new courses to be built in the next few years and although it is a requirement that every major golf project has to be self sufficient for water through desalination plants, there is nothing like pure rain water for greening things up.

For golfers, autumn in Spain is one of the best times of the year for visiting; temperatures are mild and the courses un-crowded. After the kids go back to school, accommodation is plentiful, hotels and private owners are keen to do deals.
