The Rain in Spain
By Linda Tancs
In the musical My Fair Lady, Eliza Doolittle intoned, “The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain.” Add to that: “but not in summer.” Low rainfall, particularly around–where else–the Sun Coast (Costa del Sol) makes Mediterranean Spain an attractive summer tourist destination. Too crowded for your taste? Then head northeast to the equally sun-kissed area of Murcia in the Alicante region. With only 300,000 inhabitants (and far less tourists), Murcia offers all the sun and surf of its southern neighbor for a fraction of the cost. Its focal point is the Cathedral de Santa Maria, a Baroque beauty worth a visit. Golf and gastronomy will round out your stay.
