I lived a little further up the coast from Gordon, a few miles north of the old Murcia airport, for about 10 years, in a part of the Costa Blanca that is considered to have a very clement climate during the winter period.
However, my home was at the top of the highest hill in the whole area (for some unknown reason I seem to have chosen to live up high in the last 20 or so years) and, during I think was the second winter there, it actually snowed up our hill. So, being the adventurous type back then, I got my skis out of the basement, and glided down the hill on my skis to where the snow stopped.
My neighbours then had it confirmed that I was, indeed, nuts! Actually, talking to some of my Spanish friends and neighbours, it was the very first time that snow had been seen in the area for about 50 years.
