Great climate all year round
With an average of 325 sunny days a year, there’s little fear of rain. The 40 or so rainy or partly rainy days fall mainly during winter, and rarely more than two days in any one week. Cold spells are also rare; even in midwinter the chilly nights (mm. 8° C I 46F) are offset by warm days. So break away from convention - bring your family on a Christmas, Easter or mid-term holiday.
