More Rain than Rainbows - Continued.

Although the rain that has fallen over the last few months has caused chaos on the Costa del Sol and had all of us expats thinking about packing up and heading home (the rain here always seems that bit more miserable) it has been fabulous for the campo…or has it!!

Water levels in the Malaga province's seven reservoirs are at a 12 year high. The stocks representing 72% of overall capacity are, according to local newspaper reports, enough to last us for the next 12 months. This is great news for home owners and tourist alike as it seems unlikely that we will be subjected to the continuous water cuts of the last couple of years.

The downside however is that the damage caused to the province during the last rains has been estimated by the A.S.A.J.A. (The Young Farmers Association), to have reached a staggering 40 million Euros, with olives and mandarins being the worst affected. This has left the already poor farmers to suffer even more.

Let me know your thoughts and views on the rain in Spain staying mainly on the plain....... and how it affects your life!!
