>>78980394

>>78980265
Yes. fuck off, we're north Africa.

the aswer is yes, fuck off
>>78980554
That map is about average annual rainfall, in that case areas of Almeria, Murcia and Alicante are arid as fuck
But in terms of vegetation and rocks looking martian, Almeria has no rival.
>>78980595

there's a mountain range stopping the cold atlantic winds and allowing the hot sahara winds, isn't there? Betic Mountains
>>78980265
Yes, don't come, we are literally Saudi Arabia.

what's it like living in places like this? It looks cozy but I already live in an area where I have to see and interact with my neighbors every time I step outside. Can't imagine being in an even tighter space and having to deal with people watching you all the time
>>78984841
It's mostly old people living in such villages nowadays
>>78984801
We usually say that there was a time where a squirrel was able to cross all the peninsula just jumping trees. We need to keep going with the reforestation of the country...
>>78984841
Barely anyone lives there except for a few old people, its pretty much just turism now.

Anyways when i was younger my grandparents were from a village like those and i used to spend summers there. Basically everyone knows everyone else, its a very tight knit community, people used to bring a chair at night and just sit with their neighbours on the street, chatting, etc.
There was also zero crime, people used to leave their doors open.
