Will 2024 Break Spain's Hottest Year Ever Record?đŸ”„ Spain is grappling with increasingly scorching summers. The nation is no stranger to heat, but the intensity and frequency of recent heatwaves are alarming. Could 2024 be the hottest year on record? To grasp the severity of the situation, consider these record-breaking temperaturesđŸ„”: CĂłrdoba, Seville, and Jerez - notorious for their sizzling summers - have recorded temperatures exceeding 47°C (116.6°F).The national record stands at 47.6°C (117.7°F), a staggering figure that underscores the extreme heat Spain can endure. These are not isolated incidents; they are part of a worrying trend. Heatwaves, once considered anomalies, are becoming the norm, with profound implications for the country. Extreme high temperatures affect agriculture, livestock and people. In agriculture, plants and crops often suffer greatly and need extra irrigation while water levels in rivers drop as evaporation rates in Spain dramatically increase during the summer months. This heightened evaporation contributes to water scarcity issues, particularly in southern regions. In addition, and sadly some elderly people or people with vulnerable health conditions succumb to heat strokes in the hellish summer months. As a result, lately regional Spanish authorities publish and notify residents on road signs and by sms when it is recommended to NOT be outdoors at certain times of the day. Do you live in a city or country with extremely hot summers? If so, which one and share the highest temperature you experienced. #Spain #countries #Tourism

Tomatina: Spain's Reddest and Juiciest Party🍅🍅🍅 Who needs a water balloon fight when you can have a tomato fight? That's the motto of thousands of people who descend on the Spanish town of Buñol every year for La Tomatina. This isn't just any food fight; it's the biggest food fight in the world. La Tomatina takes place on the last Wednesday of August and lasts for a glorious hour. But where did this crazy idea come from? Legend has it, a spontaneous tomato fight broke out during a town parade back in the 1940s. And the rest, as they say, is history. What started as a local scuffle has turned into a global phenomenon, attracting tourists from every corner of the planet.   The festival has been critisized and many wonder "Isn’t this a huge waste of food?" Well, the tomatoes used in La Tomatina are actually surplus produce that would otherwise be thrown away in landfills. So, not only is it a riot of fun, but it’s also a pretty eco-friendly event.   Locals and foreigners alike join in the tomato-flinging frenzy. It’s a great way to bond with the community and make some seriously messy memories. So, if you're looking for an unforgettable experience, grab your swim trunks (or at least some old clothes) and head to Buñol for the ultimate tomato-soaked adventure.   This year's La Tomatina 2024 is on Wednesday, August 28th Just remember: Don’t wear your favorite white outfit.😀 #Spain #Tomatina #Tourism

Barcelona Locals Are So Over Tourists, They're Fighting Back With Water PistolsđŸ’§đŸ”« You wouldn't believe what's going down in Barcelona. People are fed up with all the tourists and they're taking matters into their own hands – with water pistols! Imagine walking down the street in one of the city's most popular spots and suddenly, mist mist, splash splash! You're getting soaked by angry Barcelonians, if the word exists! Sounds crazy, right? But it's happening. People are sick of the crowds, the rising prices, and their city turning into one big Disneyland. Question is, where's the line between making money and ruining your own backyard? Barcelona's trying to figure that out, but it's a tough one. Other places like Mallorca and Malaga are dealing with the same tourist takeover. So, what's the answer? Well, that's the million-dollar question. Can cities have their cake and eat it too? Enjoy the tourist money without losing their soul? Do you live in a big city which has been taken over by mass tourism? What are your thoughts? #Barcelona #Tourism #Spain
