Most of my visits to the Costa Cálida in the past have been in the winter with shorter visits in the Spring and the Autumn; I haven't been here before in mid-summer (I spent many years living in the Middle and Far East so know all about summer heat, thank you very much), but because I was going to be in the Netherlands in early August for family reasons, which I mentioned here a few days ago, I
