As I mentioned in another thread, we are planning a trip to Madrid, Marbella Marriott and towns within driving distance of Marbella, and probably fly to Ireland for a few days too next late October.
We had planned to use our DC points or trade or DSV via II to get a unit at Marbella for a week. Turns out I was able to trade our Welk 1BR for a 2BR Marbella, but from Nov 6-13. I jumped at it as it's the second leg of an ePlus trade. We would go to the other locations at the front end of the trip.
Based on some reading we just did, it sounds like Spain and Ireland normally get about 24 days of rain in November. October is more like 12-15 as I recall. Based on experiences that you may have had, how much rain is likely and what type of rain is it (i.e. Short hard rain or longer lighter rain, or something else)? We are trying to decide if there will really be much difference between October 17 and up to Nov 13.
The bottom line is whether the weather would be good enough to enjoy the experience. We would appreciate the perspective of those who have experienced it.
Thanks.
Mike
