Huelva confirmed as Spain’s sunniest city
As we hit the downward slope to Winter (how many shopping days ‘til Christmas?) it’s swimwear off, knitwear on and the prospect of months of gloomy grey skies. Unless you live in Huelva that is. This southern Spanish city has just been declared the sunniest in Spain. No SAD here...The National Institute for Statistics in Spain has recently released a report which ranks Huelva, located at the westernmost tip of the Costa de la Luz, first in terms of hours of sunshine each year with a mammoth 3,200 – almost nine each day. Little wonder the local area is filled with tourists, many of them Spanish nationals from the cooler north of the country, seeking out the clean white-sand beaches, tasty seafood restaurants and clutch of first-rate golf courses.
Andrew Benitz, Director of local real estate specialists Titan Properties, comments, “We shouldn’t be overly surprised at the findings as of course Costa de la Luz means Coast of Light so it’s named after this pleasant climate condition. What’s important to mention is that although Huelva has the most sunshine it doesn’t have the highest temperatures in the heat of the summer. Cities like Seville and Madrid can stifle in the high 30s Celsius in August whereas the maritime influence takes ten degrees off in Huelva. The Atlantic breezes are most welcome and, unlike the eastern end of Costa de la Luz, rarely escalate into strong winds as is evident from our tall, straight palm trees.”
Titan Properties is promoting a range of properties across the western Costa de la Luz from 99,000 euro one bedroom golf apartments through to 500,000 euro plus four bedroom detached villas on Nuevo Portil Golf Course.
