malls, museums, castles, etc. There are a tons of beaches, incredible
restaurants, and on and on. It's Europe!!!!

Weather:
The weather is generally mild, but in specific places like Madrid the
weather can be more extreme in the summer (90's or 100's) and in the
winter (30's and 40's). Along the coast there is always a nice breeze to
cool things off as the water keeps things more temperate. There are
days when it can get really cold and really hot but they are usually not
sustained. The rainy season is usually March through May and some in
September - October, but it has been know to rain anytime for a day or
several hours. For the latest weather click on
