Hi everyone, we have just bought a house in Santa Maria de Nieva and are moving out to live permanently in November this year. We are excited but also a bit apprehensive so finding this forum was a bonus as I'm sure we will get lots of advice which will be very welcome 😄

Andy and Moira.

Quite cold up there in the winter- we saw the temperature drop significantly when we drove down from there to Huercal Overa - up to 6 degree Celsius difference last winter

I would question your logic, Santa Maria de Nieva is only 280m higher in altitude from Huercal. Hardly up in the mountains.

My logic is based upon staying there from November last year until January this year and apart from seeing the drop on the car thermometer we could feel the difference and it does translate to Saint Mary of Snow. It was enough to convince us to buy at the bottom of the hill

Santa Maria is just 15 minutes drive from Huercal Overa, and is same altitude as my home. I do not get 6 deg difference travelling to Huercal. I think you must be thinking of somewhere else.

If you go up to Saliente, or Chirivel, I could believe 6deg, but not Santa Maria de Nieva.

Weil I can assure you that I’m not making it up - my wife will bear witness to the drop in Temperature going up the hill. The only thing I would say is that we were staying 3 kilometres up from Santa Maria about halfway between the centre of Santa Maria and Los Lucas Restaurant
