Andalusia!

So I just got the email telling me that I've been assigned to teach in the autonomous community of Andalusia! I am so happy because Andalusia was my first choice!









Andalusia is home to some of the best provinces and cities in Spain (well in my opinion anyway!)




There are eight provinces of Andalusia:



Andalusia is known for its Moorish -influenced architectural styles, bullfighting, and the flamenco. Seville is the capital of the province and is considered the artistic, cultural, and financial capital of southern Spain.

The average temperature in Andalusia throughout the year is over 61 °F. Average temperatures in the cities range from 59.2 °F in Baeza to 65.3 °F in Málaga. The coldest month is January and some parts of Andalusia experience temperatures as low as 43.5 °F. The hottest months are July and August, with an average temperature of 83.3 °F. Any way you look at it, the weather is basically perfect there...I can definitely deal with an average temperature in the 60's year round, might be a nice change from Florida's hot and humid 90+ temperatures in the summer.

I found a great website called Andalucia.com. At this site you can click on each province or city and it gives you background info, restaurants, attractions, etc.

I won't know specifically which city I'll be teaching in for another week or two but I hope it's somewhere on the coast!
