The rain in Spain

One of the surprising things about where we are based in the costa del is how much rain we seem to get. It doesn't rain in the same way as the uk which is frequent and regular with regards to quantity etc but it is also almost always steady rain/ showers etc etc.
Well, last week down here in the sunny costa del sol the heavens opened and we had the downpour of the year. It wasn't so much rain as a torrential torrent that lasted hours, the noise kept us awake most of the night with a fantastic thunderstorm( if you like watching thunderstorms) wrecked havoc on the roads and flooded villas and apartments alike. The roads on our journey to the airport on the morning after resembled a war zone littered with debris from the power of the water.
I have already had a phone call from a previous customer who's apartment we furnished last year informing us that their lovely apartment has been divested by 20 cm of water and needs completely re furnishing and re decorating
So this brings me to my two points.
Firstly, Beware if you are planning an outdoor event before the middle of June. You may need a contingency for your wedding should the rain decide to fall. Any wedding last weekend would certainly turned out a little different than would have been planned.
Secondly if you have a home here and it's empty, get it checked even if you have had no problems before. This is where a management company could help. Arriving Over the summer to find your home under 6 inches of water is guaranteed to spoil your holiday.
