1.   No transport links, no bus services.   a car is a must.
2.  Weather is HOT in summer,  and Cold in winter.   daytime temps in winter average 10-12.       Night time  last few days - 2.   Homes are not insulated.   heating and log fire a must in the winter months.    Air con in the summer, up to 40c
3. Summer months flies and wasps a real nuisance.

Hi. I am new to this forum and love that there is so much information here. I have been researching for the past month on where to live in Spain and Areboleas seems to be matching a lot of our requirements. I am a little ahead of myself as it will not be until around this time next year all being well but we are hoping to come and and visit in April.
I have a few question and would be grateful for any advice for a newbie.
1. Is there transport links from Arboleas to main towns and any of the beaches?
2. The weather in winter? Obviously one of the main attractions is the sunshine and to get away from the cold UK. What is the temperature during the winter months? Someone in one of the other threads mentioned it was really windy?
3. Also on one of the other threads was the mention of flies. Is this an issue in the area.
Thank you in advance.
