The mosquitoes we have aren’t a problem at all. In fact they’re very friendly little creatures. They’ll frequently visit you to say hello. They’re a bit shy at first, they’ll sneak up on you when you least expect it and before you know it you’ll be best friends for their lifetime. 
They are actually in cahoots with the producers of the zillions of mosquito products in the shops. No matter how many different products you buy, if you are chosen to be their friend, then there’s no stopping them.

This is Spain, you will always get mosquitoes,  some years are worse than others, but it depends on how often in rains.

Hi 

In my experience, mosquitoes aren't much of a problem - I can't remember the last time I was stung, although the missus has been stung occasionally. I may be wrong, but I think mosquitoes are deterred by breezes/wind, and this is a coastal area, so there is usually a breeze.

Cheers

Thank you for a witty response. I will let the mossies know when they visit that they have at least one good friend and admirer on the Costa FJS
