Spain in Aug, so yes it is hot, it is humid, and it is sticky!! but how bad would it be if it was not??? We really would have something to talk about the weather then!
This is the time of year at least here, that most people get into grind to a halt mood, everything in Spain closes down in Aug, so we can......it is not true and it is not logical. People are in fact more at risk of heart attacks, strokes and accidents through feinting at this time of year due to the heat and dehydration.
Sounds like paradise to sit round a pool with a beer, especially if you are reading this in Glasgow or Grimsby (nothing against either place, but they are not known for the best of weathers), but alcohol dehydrates and can make you feel light headed when you come from a laying or sitting position to upright, so can easily lead to accidents and breaks.
The swimming pool or beach can also be a psychological nightmare for anyone who had any issues with their body or weight, it takes courage to expose yourself to the eyes of others, I know I was locked in that situation for many years. Yes, I have been the one on the beach in clothes, building sandcastles, pretending to have a good time, making any excuse up as to why I am so comfortable in my clothes and not have a swimsuit with me, I forgot it on the way out. I lied I did not even own one, let alone wear it in public.
When I moved to Spain that was one of my sancturies, I had my own pool, so nobody would have to see me! That was when my daughter took these photos 
But not only did she take them she sent them all around the world on Facebook, so my secret was well and truely out!!!!!
At the time I was mortified, angry, hurt, blaming her for doing such a thing. It took me 10 days to take the responsibility and admit to myself, I was angry with myself for letting me get to this and feeling the way I did.
Denial is an easier place to live and when you keep making excuses to yourself, you believe them. Self confidence hits the floor and it has a knock on effect into all areas of your life and relationships.
I have come a long way from there mentally and physically, but each step of that journey has made me who and what I am today, to see me now click here
