Summer and Fans

The summer is back, something scrambled with ups and downs of temperatures. But already Virgin of July is already here (15 July, Virgen del Carmen -The Virgin of the sailors-) that marks the beginning of the comeback of the thermometer that will follow until the next Virgin, that of August (15 August, Virgin of the Ascension) date in which it will begin to lower again the temperatures.
