Field notes
Mediterranean continental (Andalusian) — meaningfully cooler winters and hotter summers than coastal Andalusia because of the inland location at 738m altitude. Winter (December–February, 7–8°C average) brings cold nights occasionally near freezing; summer (June–August, 23–27°C average) is hot dry with peaks above 35°C. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–October) are the cleanest shoulder windows. The Sierra Nevada produces meaningful microclimate variance — skiing is 45 minutes from the city December–April.
