It's a little too hot for my taste, I prefer 25-27c.

But this is a good temperature for ripening cherries.

Yum, cherries - only six months to go.

Cherries in my garden are not fully ripe, but will be for 2-3 days.

They are usually ripe around 27-28 May, but April was rainy and colder than average, and therefore ripening is delayed.

Only got two trees here, but that aren't covered, so the birds get most of them.

Usually ripe during the start of December.

North of Altea or south (Benidorm) all have sand but I've posted that one (Albir, few kms) because that has water temp measures.

Today's maximum temps in Europe. For some people can look warm in central-southern Spain but those places which reached 34-35°C have avg highs of 32-33°C during June so it's completely seasonable/normality.

Above average in parts of northern Italy and central-eastern Europe...

But they don't seem continuous for miles on end. And I found pebbly beaches and ugly water north of Altea:

To be fair Spain does have some nice beaches, but I just think Greece has the best. I had some friends go to Italy last summer and tell me the water was nice but the beaches where they went on Capri were a little less than desirable because of pebbly rocky areas.


I was disappointed a beach I always wanted to visit in Croatia is pebbles also:

In that pic maybe looks like that for the poor quality plus the agitated sea?

Yes, a couple of dozens of kms on the coast they're rocky beaches but then from Calpe to Javea and then from Denia all the way to Valencia are sandy beaches. Just like from Benidorm (few kms from me) all the way to Alicante. Near me most beaches are crystal clear near the coast just like the pics I posted before. More pics:

Those are Calpe and Moraira, both with clear waters and sand beaches.

Altea just like Alfaz or Javea has those pebbly beaches but also with clear water. Javea:

A really few kms south of me I have this:

Although none of these are even in the top 50 of most beautiful Spanish beaches so btw.

I've got the same problem as you. I grew up going to the French south, and also spent some time on the atlantic side, where sand reigns supreme, and I find pebbles to be a pain in the ass (well, litterally). Unfortunately here pebbles are very common, and when there's sand the beach is not free because almost every part of the italian coast has been privatized.

I have been to Greece but mostly in the north. Spain also looks better than here.

A few of the cherries are ripe (maybe 5%), the rest should be in about a week or so.
