Whilst on the Mediterranean
and south coast, locals and
holidaymakers bemoaned cloudy
skies and the thermometer
plunging to the low 20ºCs, parts
of the north and centre of the
mainland registered temperatures
below freezing. The record was held
by the town of Robleda-Cervantes
in the province of Zamora, which
backs onto northern Portugal,
where Thursday night went down
to -1.9ºC. Both Galicia and the
centre-northern region of Castilla
y León – which Zamora is part of –
are typically cool and temperate in
summer; although they regularly
enjoy sunshine and figures of
well over 30ºC between June and
September. Their standard lows
for August nights rarely go below
14ºC. ThinkSpain The
