See the map. We are going to be "attacked" by all sides except from the south :)

Here in Newfoundland, a 26º C day is one of the better summer days for us. Every so often it goes over 30º C, but not very often. Maybe it is time for me to move somewhere warmer.... does Spain ever get any snow?!?!?  :)

Depends on which part. Spain is like an small continent because, being one of the more mountainous countries of Europe, each part is different. Different climates, different landscapes, different food and in several parts even different native languages. The North is more cold and rainy, and the center is cold in winter and too hot in summer. Andalucia is fine and very beautiful, although too hot in August. The Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands have good climate for the most part of the year. But where I live, know as the Valencian Garden, we are priviliged because of a series of fortunate factors. The nearby mountains protect us from the cold winds of the North and the hot winds of the West, the worst storms come from the Atlantic, and when they reach us they are so weakened that usually don't do any harm, and the Balearic Islands usually divert the Autumn storms of the Mediterranean Sea to the Southeast. We once had a big one, but it was in 1957. The only part of Spain that beats us regarding good climate are some of the Canary Islands.

But be warned, we are the noisiest guys of Europe. We are passionate about pyrotechnics.
