It rained

Spain has been and still is going through a period of drought, last week it rained,

 



One of the nice things about Candeleda, there are many, is that as it lays at the foot of Almanzor, when it rains it has the capacity to collect a lot of water. The Rosarito dam therefore has the potential to quickly fill up, I was once told that the dam actually receives 5 to 6 times more water than it is capable of storing, on a normal year. This year has been far from normal, as you can see by following the red line, we have been a long way from normal levels so the rain over the last week has been warmly received, it still needs to rain a lot more, and hopefully it will but at least this is a good start.
