CABANUELAS
April, and the cuckoo you hear.
According to the cabanuelas, the first fortnight continues the pattern in terms of the rain we've been having with heavy showers, although the temperatures will steadily rise and the cold will seem to be a thing of the past. The second fortnight will bring fewer showers and pleasant temperatures and be much more settled: a couple of typical springtime weeks where we'll see the explosion of life associated with this beautiful season.
