Looks like it would be a beautiful place to visit in the Autumn or Winter, rather challenges my view of Spain as an arid and bare place. Certainly when it comes to places that get a fair amount of snow, Spain doesn't exactly leap to mind, keep forgetting it has much higher mountains than we do.
It is a normal view about Spain because Spain is known as the country of Sun and Warm. But it is totally false, just economic interests.
Spain as an aridWe have big plains that in summer are arids, in Winter are really freezing with minumun temperatures arround -15º and -20º sometimes (there are plains up to 1100masl). However Spring in this places is green with many flower of different colours.
If you go to the North Spain the landscape is the same to Wales or Ireland. So green in the whole year. However in the South-East is like a desert, without trees just rocks and arid´s view. Therefore, Spain is a land with many different landscapes, it has many contrasts. You can be one night maybe at -5º in Madrid and in the same night in Sevilla at 4 or 5 degrees, or in the Summer, you can be at 35 degrees in Valencia, and at the same time at 17º degrees in Oviedo (North Spain).
Cheers!

Spanish Pirineos
Greatings from Madrid

I know that for European people Spain is the land of party and hot temperatures, but it is totally false.
In the mountains of the Sistema Central, in the west part of these mountains (mountains with 2200-2500masl) we have so much Snow sometimes 450cm, and in the Sierra Nevada (Mountains among 3000-3400 masl, South of the country) we usually have more than 400cm and some years more than 6 meters.
Pirineos (with more than 3000masl and Cordillera Cantabrica (it is close to the sea, with elevation about 2500 and 2600 masl) have high Snow levels..some years more than 6 or 7 meters.

Historic Record of high temperature in Madrid 30,2º (3º more than the before one) in my town there was yesterday a new record too 27,7º (2º more than the before one).
Incredible September and Octuber. Ive never seen it before...usually in this time my mountains (up to 2000 meters) should be with snow....but there isn´t...

In Spain we are living the hottest end of the summer in years with some records of high temperatures.
Since first day of September we have tempratures so high for this season....and in the diagrame it is looks like havent got final....
Hot and dry, one of driest september in the history too...It situation is very dangerous cause we need rain, in the end of November the "dark frosts" coming here and if the land is still dry it would be a disaster for the agriculture......
Yesterday I took 26,4 degrees when the average is 16 degrees.
I can see too that in Britain you have a big hot spell...but in a few days the autum is coming to your country

I never would of guessed they were taking in Spain.Yes, Spain has so heavy contrasts, you can be at a desert in the SE, at a cold steppes in some places at the center/north and
you can be in a big forests of beeches.

Hi British friends! Well, here I have some picts of the North Castilla (Spain) of this End of the Summer (the warmest and dry end of the Summer in years).

In my town: 2009-2010: 14cm (January)
2010-2011: 11cm (March)
Record that I have seen in my town (since 1994): 29cm
In Madrid: 2009-2010: 6-10cm
2010-2011: 4-6cm
Record that I have seen in Madrid: 16-20cm
Record on the XIX century: 110cm (November of 1904)
In my father´s town (Las Navas del Marqués, Ávila, 1300masl): 2009-2010: 52cm
2010-2011: 32cm
In Spain the last December was normal...there were some days that I had maximun temperatures below 0º but I had warm maximun temperatures too, so it was normal on the average.
I would have thought much of the NE saw at least 15cms during the cold spell of Feb 1991. Easterly winds gave much snow on the 7th and 8th Feb. Much of Yorkshire saw at least a foot with Bingley seeing 50cms.
I remember the Feb 91 spell, it came just before the half term holidays. I think it was the Friday before we caught any of the heavy snow showers, and I remember school closing early. That weekend was a very cold one. The following week saw only a slow thaw, but total amounts here were poor about 2inches at best. We've had much heavier falls even in so called mild spells. Easterlies rarely deliver the goods here thanks to the barrier that is the Pennines.
It was so good cold spell in Spain, there were important snowfalls in Madrid, Segovia, Avila, Salamanca, Burgos and all the North of my country. Good cold spell.
Greatings!

Thanks for the photos and information meteo Madrid, do you know what the maximum temperatures were in that area after the frost?
Hi mate, well some towns of that area had 18-20 degrees, that area is not so hot, sometimes takes 28-30 degrees but it is not normal.
I love Spain.I love UK, and the Spaniards love your country
A sign of things to come for all of Europe this year maybe?I hope so...but these frosts nights are "normal" (maybe 10 or 11 per Summer) every summer in that area of Spain.

The night of 27 of August was cold in the most part of the Center Spain.
Some towns of Soria, Burgos, León and Segovia had minimun temperatures some degrees below 0º, this part of Spain has a typical continental climate, there are towns between 1100-1400 m.a.s.l in valleys, on big plains, and close to big forests.

Thanks

Pretty cool for Madrid at this time of year but an elevation of over 3000 feet is going to make a difference but that is at Villalba - were the woods at a higher altitude? The vegetation seems to indicate that.
Yes, the forest is at 1000/1200 m.a.s.l (3200-3900 feet). This kind of vegetation just grew up at 900-1000 m.a.s.l in Madrid (in the north of Spain at 500 meters and in the south at 1500 meters). Up to 1000 meters (3200 feet), there are forests of Pinus Sylvestris (I think that you call it Scottish pines), Oaks and Beech (It there isn´t so much here in Madrid, just there are in the more humedity valleis)

A inusuall snowfall in November of 1904 in the Center of Spain leaves 150cm in the center of Madrid city.
It was snowing three days and in the mountains of Madrid thousand and thousand of trees fell down with above 3 or 4 meters of Snow.
That Snowfall was the biggest in the last 200 hundred years in Madrid and probably in the modern history of the city.
November of 1904 was increible, Road, Trains were block.
There was another cold November in the XIX Century:
November 1862 50cm in the center of the city.
Actually in Madrid city is strange to see snowfalls with more than 5/10cm, maybe one per two years. The last big snowfall was in the 80´s with almost 30cm.
Since 1990:
March 1993 with 10cm
December 1996 10/15cm
January 1997 10/15cm
December 2001 13cm
February 2005 15cm
February 2006 10cm
January 2009 18cm
January 2010 11cm
And a few snowfalls more with 5/10cm.
Maybe one day that November of 1904 come back. I hope so!
bye British friends!
