Picnicking in February

Yes, you read that right... Here in Spain, you can already enjoy a picnic in the month of February. Last year at the beginning of February, we already enjoyed temperatures of 22 degrees Celsius (which is 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit for our American readers). Time for a first picnic!

About 35 kilometers from Churriana de la Vega - our new hometown - is a village called Pantano de Los Bermejales. It's quite small and most people come here for the lake.

When temperatures start to rise, people come here to cool off and swim. There is a huge picnic area, but in August it can be quite crowded since a lot of locals are on holiday then.

Opposite the lake is a camping place, by the way, which is very popular with travelers.

I have photographed this area in different seasons and moments of the day. Later in February, I will publish the best of these pictures on Travel Memories.
