Hi Tom,
I just got back from Malaga today.
There wasn't much snow in the country south of the Pyrenees/ Cantabricas
save for the odd dusting on the Castillian sierras.
There was virtually no snow on the Sierra Nevada looking down from the
plane today.
Temperatures for the past week in Malaga have been up and down. But mostly
on the up now.
It was 20ºC widely on the Costa Del sol yesterday - with quite a few
sunbathers on the beaches (albeit sheltered by windcheaters).
Generally Malaga is dry. I was told that the spot of rain they had last
Sunday was the first since October - which in turn was the only period of
rain since last spring.
The citrus trees on the coast are looking a picture of health at the
moment, despite them having to endure a very rare airfrost last week.
There was also problems with ice on the higher roads around the Sierra
nevada, inc. Granada at the same time. "Probably the coldest couple of
days in Adalucia for 30 years" (so the newspapers said).
But I'll be surprised if the bulk of your stay isn't under blue skies and
strong sunshine once you reach Malaga.
Enjoy - and don't forget the sunglasses.
Alex.

I'm driving down from North Shropshire to Malaga starting Tuesday, via
west
coast French motorway through Nantes&Bordeaux, then Bilbao, Burgos,
Madrid,
Valdepenas,Jaen, Granada.
Does anyone have any forecast as to the likely state of the weather, will
it
affect the road and should I consider an alternative route.

Thanks
Tom
