There were occasional clouds and some rain, but overall it was dry and sunny. Ideal for relaxing walks and sidewalk cafes.
YasmineDuring the day it is warm, the temperature is around 20-25 degrees, ideal for hiking and active recreation. In the evening it got colder, so a light jacket was necessary. A few days of rain but mostly dry.
