In this way, you can forget about translating articles from Spanish into awkward English that probably don’t make much sense. Let us be your convenient and essential guide to all things that will likely affect you as a foreign resident living in Spain.

MURCIA recently woke up to a frosty surprise as the season s coldest morning swept across the region.
Cold snap grips the Region: Temperatures drop below freezing
Los Royos in Caravaca de la Cruz took the brunt of it, with temperatures plummeting to a brisk -3.5°C, while Yecla and Jumilla weren’t far behind at -2.9°C and -2.1°C. One of the coldest spots was La Junquera registering temperatures of -9.7 C°. Even coastal areas like Cartagena felt the chill, with thermometers hovering around 4°C.
From mild to icy: A sudden shift in weather
This sudden cold snap has painted a striking contrast to the mild, almost spring-like weather of late November. Just weeks ago, many were enjoying highs above 25°C, but recent frost-covered rooftops and icy car windows signalled a definitive shift in the season. Social media lit up with images of the frosty landscapes, from frozen fields in the North east of the region to misty mornings in the valleys.
A Chilly Wake-Up Call for Murcia
The Altiplano and northern towns are used to chilly nights, but the intensity of this freeze has caught even locals off guard. For many, it’s a reason to cozy up with a steaming coffee and enjoy the crisp beauty of Murcia’s chilly winter preview.
The cold snap was short-lived, with temperatures rising again in the following days, bringing a return to more typical winter conditions across the region of Murcia.
