The Vale enjoys a Mediterranean climate and thus has four specific seasons. Winters are rainy and nippy, autumns are calm and tranquil, summers are hot and dry, and spring time is fresh and glorious.

The locals will tell you all the best places to visit, the best galleries or museums, the best trails, and even where to have the best cup of coffee.
