Will I survive the heat of Summer?

The summer months can be very hot here in Spain with months of endless sunshine. Many homes have air conditioning and therefore your home can remain comfortable. However out in the open can be a little different as the sunīs heat can be overpowering. The best plan is to do as the locals do. Do any out door work in the morning before the sun is at itīs peak. This includes shopping or leave it until the evening when it begins to cool a little. Avoid being in the sun between 1.00 p.m and 5.00p.m. as this is when the sun is at itīs strongest.You will see many Spaniards leaving their trip to the beach until late afternoon. Always drink lots of fluids especially water and wear a hat when in the sun.
