Costa del lluvia...

So. I have a bone to pick. When I chose to spend my semester abroad in the South of Spain, Costa del sol, Malaga - I was under the impression that it was... I don't know... the coast of sun. FAULTY INFORMATION. In fact, we have all renamed it Costa del lluvia - the coast of rain. 

It is said that Malaga suffers from a sheer 60 days of rain. 60. Out of 365 - that's it! Only 4 days per month on average. BS. Malaga has literally rained and rained and rained and rained. The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains? NEGATIVE. The rain is Spain follows my CB around and POURS.


I bought an umbrella here... I haven't owned an umbrella in years... (sorry Patti - yours is still at Christina's.. IOU)


okay. I can't completely complain - the temperature is still beautiful. Tonight I went out in a tank top, shorts and some tights, and I was a bit chilly walking home at like 1130pm - but it wasnt anything unbearable. Nothing a light cardigan couldnt fix! So in that respect - I am dreading coming home to the snow and cold, blizzard that the Great White North is. And When it is nice out, it is absolutely gorgeous! 20 degrees and sunny is PERFECT weather for late November.


However. While the girls and I were in Ronda on Saturday, we came home to a not so pleasant surprise. Malaga flooded. Malaga flooded badly.. here are some lovely photos from Saturday..

Keep in mind, all of this rain in Malaga is the equivalent to getting an inch of snow in Africa, they aren't used to it - and they don't know how to handle it!




Kayaking down a street I walk down daily! 

Oh! And a tornado at the airport.

And I'm hoping this link works.. MUST WATCH.

But I can't complain too much - because when it is nice out - it is absolutely perfect!

  1. Holy CRAP, Katie! Those photos are intense! Did you take them? That's nuts! I can't believe the flood!

    Boo! It'd be typical for you that Spain would turn into the rain capital of the world. That's how our life works, Katie! I have yet to go on a camping week with Ryan where it didn't rain like a beast for almost the whole time! Ridiculous!
