Field notes
The second-fastest-growing nomad scene in Europe since 2022. Ruzafa and El Carmen are the core neighborhoods. Same Spanish DNV as Madrid and Barcelona, with the warmest winters of the three.
Slightly warmer year-round than Barcelona, drier than the Atlantic Iberian coasts. Summer humidity is real (peak Jul–Aug) but air-flow off the sea keeps things workable. Winters rarely drop below 12°C.
