Rain, rain and more rain. Seville's Easter Week and Feria, since Fallas in Valencia, most football matches from the last few weeks of the season. If you have seen any coverage of Spain on the TV or images in the press recently it was probably accompanied by raindrops falling on the reporters or players' heads.
A month and a half of rain in Valencia virtually every day and the images from around the rest of the country have convinced me that if the country complains about lack of water this summer then there is a conspiracy about. As the saying in Spain goes "En Abril aguas mil" (The equivalent is about April showers) What it doesn't mention is May and June too.. So right now I am off out to get myself wet before the summer heat arrives.

Droughts over? The water where we are is going nowhere, there is no drainage at all - so no wonder they always moan about water shortages!
It could rain all day every day and there would still be water problems n the Costa Blanca south until they actually do somethin constructive with the annual downfall.
I agree about drainage issues but surely the main issue is that it rains where the dams are. This time it is. Check out www.embalses.net for the latest info about water reserves. (Let's face it water from rain is never collected in any country when it falls on towns it just goes into drains and that's it)
