The Climate Even by Mediterranean standards, the Valley of Lecrin enjoys a very favoured climate. With Africa only a short distance away, spring starts very early and summer can last right through to late October. In high summer Andalucia gets very hot, but Acequias lies 1,000 metres up in the Sierras, which makes for pleasantly cool summer evenings. InAcequias, you get Spanish summer warmth without those hot and sticky nights. The natural world Each season has its flowers in Acequias – almond blossom in February, brilliant red poppies in May and bougainvillaea in high summer. This part of Spain also has some of the clearest skies in Europe. Shooting stars are a familiar sight and the Milky Way really does look ‘milky’!

Home to many of Spain’s most precious animals and butterflies,
