What a pack, what a skip

Pack for the next 7 days
  • Layers – the daily swing is 19°C, so mornings feel nothing like afternoons
  • A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
  • A packable rain shell – 3 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
Worth avoiding
  • If your dates are flexible, avoid junio, julio and octubre – historically the least comfortable months here.
