El clima en toda España fue pésimo en 2026, con nieve, granizo, lluvias torrenciales, fuertes vientos, hielo negro e inundaciones generalizadas. Se emitieron alertas amarillas y naranjas para la mayor parte del país. La causa fueron 11 tormentas con nombre propio que azotaron la península ibérica (y otros países de Europa occidental) desde el oeste y el norte entre octubre de 2025 y mediados de febrero de 2026.

"How Green Was My Valley" is a novel by Richard Llewellyn about a Welsh family and the mining community in which they live. It was turned into a Hollywood film, two BBC TV series, a Broadway musical and a theatre play. I was struck the other day by how green my valley was. But we've had a load of rain. I live in the Valle de Fuente de la Higuera just outside Ronda (Malaga). I've never seen it so green at the start of Spring. And I've lived round here for over 16 years. Here's the story.

I grew up in a rural area in North Devon (England) where I lived in three different houses between the ages of nought and 14. I remember that my Dad, from rural South Wales, always had either a garden or a big allotment. Here's my story of how I went from being a novice English gardener to an apprentice Spanish jardinero, despite the challenges: hot sun; ice cold winters; heavy rainfall; pests; exhaustion; poor quality soil.
