Such has been this premature irruption of summer into late spring that Infoca has been activated to protect Andalusian forestlands as temperatures reach the high 30s.
The Guardia Civil, mountain-rescue service, Sereim was called out twice last weekend; once in the Caldera de Sierra Nevada area and the other in Los Cahorros (Monachil).
In case you were in any doubt, there is plenty of snow up on the Sierra Nevada, thanks to Thursday/Friday snowfall, giving the whole resort a postcard appearance.
