Stolen from elsewhere. Today we moved indoors from the covered terrace. We now have central heating and insulation but that first winter was miserable.
It’s That Time of Year Again… When Spain Forgets What Temperature It IsAh yes… that magical season when Spanish houses become colder than the outside world and every expat questions their life choices while wearing socks in the living room.You start your day like a proper Spanish onion — layer after layer of survival gear:
Scarf (check)
Jacket (check)
Long-sleeve (check)
T-shirt underneath, just in case the sun decides to show off (check)
You step outside and feel like you’ve nailed it.But fast-forward to 2 p.m. and suddenly you’re melting like mozzarella on a tosta.
That scarf? Gone.
The jacket? Forgotten. (Probably in the car, the office, or at the ayuntamiento while you were waiting for your cita previa.)
Now you’re walking home in a tank top like, “Wasn’t it winter this morning?â€
Then comes 7 p.m. — you open the door to your house and BAM:Welcome to the Frozen Yogurt Aisle of Spain.
It’s sunny and 25°C outside, but inside it’s December in Siberia.
You’re wrapped in a blanket, holding your coffee like a survival tool, wondering why your home feels like an unheated Airbnb in the Arctic.You debate lighting the fireplace, but then you feel guilty because… it was hot at lunch.
And somehow, this internal conflict defines Spanish autumn.
So, if you came to Spain chasing sunshine and “mild Mediterranean weather,†surprise!You’re about to experience thermal whiplash — shorts by day, ski socks by night, and a love-hate relationship with your persianas.
Spain in November: where houses are colder than your ex, and you’ll lose at least one scarf before Christmas.
