In someways it’s actually colder than the U.K. especially indoors. Spanish homes are  not made to retain heat, so in the winter months, it can be a beautiful sunny day outside with temperatures  in the low to mid 20’s 

Go indoors and the temperatures can be as low as 10C. Pop the heating on and as soon as you switch it off the room goes cold again.   All those tiled floors make the room feel even colder, so you need lots of rugs, especially for when you get out of bed of a morning.  Central heating &n...

You’ll spend your first winter buying thermal vests, flannelette bedding, slippers, fluffy socks and fleecy throws. Make sure your property gets some winter sunshine, as Jan-Mar you’ll need to spend as much time outside as possible. Sounds crazy but ometimes when we’ve been out shopping we’ll sit in the car as long as possible, soaking in the warmth coming in through the windscreen. 

But hey ho in May someone flicks the switch and there’s nothing better than waking up to blue skies and hot temperatures.
