Title: Early spring in Andalusia
Post by: Yann on March 04, 2022, 08:41:48 PM

A very quick report from a short trip around Ronda-Grazalema-Ardales. The winter was dry without rain and the drought is already well marked. Many weather specialists said that Andalusia will become a whole desert (as it was millions years ago), no doubt for the last 15 years it's getting worst each season. Hopefully plants geophytes can resist such changes.

Yann, thank you for showing. It must be nice to feel the spring
in this southern region.

Yes but it was cold as in whole south europe this year. No doubt the season will be late.
