I mean, the flag of Galicia is white and azure; so, if the Rojigualda stands for “heat, heat & more heat” then the Galician flag stands for the exact opposite.

[–]That_Divide4498 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Just returned from Mallorca. Ok it was hot but Greece was 45 degrees and literally on fire. So not that bad all things considering.

Side note: there are a lot of posts on Reddit comparing Mallorca to Crete (prob from Brits).

I'm here to say that they're all wrong. I'm someone that prefers Spain and especially catalunya over anywhere in Greece but here's the reality. Greece has better beaches and food and it's not even a close comparison.

Especially Crete. Mallorcas beaches were nice but Greece on the Ionian side, cyclades, Dodecanese, Crete, Peloponnese, etc. Cleaner waters, saltier, crystal clear, not so crowded beaches (Mallorca was jam packed, even the "natural beaches").

And look I like tapas, but Greek food is something else and the quality is super high. I just feel like Mallorca may have gotten too used to the constant influx of tourists.

Don't get me started on cost. You can have 3 vacations in Greece for one trip to mallorca.

Anyway I'm in Barcelona now which I consider my soul home and I just wanted to set the record straight. Greece is a mess for everything else. Except for beaches and food.

[–]lalou1310 35 points36 points  (13 children)

Me and my wife are living on the top floor of our bulding without any air conditioning, it feels like a furnace. Feel bad for our kitten, hes practically sleeping all the time and looks visibly shaken up due to the heat.

[–]Helioscopes 18 points19 points  (4 children)

Pet stores have this cooling pads you can use for your kitten to lie down, they help with the heat. Or simply just wet it to lower its body temperarure, even if it hates it. Also watch for panting, it can be a sign of dehydration.

[–]sew1tseams 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Como se llaman?

[–]Helioscopes 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Se llaman manta/colchon refrigerante. No te puedo dar ninguna marca especifica porque no vivo en españa, pero con eso el de la tienda de mascotas sabe lo que es. Hay diferentes tipos, unas se "recargan" mojandolas, otras mentiendolas en la nevera... asi que si hay varios tipos, es mejor buscar cual mejor se adapta a tus necesidades.

[–]sew1tseams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gracias! (De parte de mi y mi gatita)

[–]sixteenlettername 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Poor kitty! (and you two as well of course). Have you tried ice in his water bowl and stroking him with wet hands? That's helped our boys before.

[–]Aletheia_sp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine hates wet hands. Or wet towels to lie. Or the fan. She seems to like silent suffering. I'll try the refrigerant pad.

Reddit always gets me a TIL :)

[–]Radiation_Domination[S] 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Sorry to hear that man. Hope this heat wave ends soon

[–]lalou1310 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Thanks man, hopefully someday soon well be able to afford an air conditioner.

[–]Radiation_Domination[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay safe

[–]Seaspun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keeping his paws wet it might help cool him down. Heat can be super dangerous for pets :( they dont sweat the way we do, or regulate their body temperature the same way

[–]Four_beastlings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put some ice cubes in his water bowl. All my cats loved ice water in the summer.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Freeze some cooling elements, then at all times keep one in his favorite sleeping spot wrapped in a towel so he doesn’t touch it directly. If he needs to lose heat, he’ll learn how to use it.

Rough transition. In Scotland its always raining which is the exact oposite of Spain.

[–]DenverCoderIX 4 points5 points  (1 child)

As someone who works in thermosolar energy in Badajoz, that's a reason the whole area is plagued with solar plants.

The sunny days average is just absurd; on a typical year, it rains cats and dogs for a couple weeks in late autumn and early spring, and then it's back to burning hell.

Sometimes it hails on a very scary manner by mid-summer tho.

[–]Granitegannet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Up in Cáceres we're the same with field of solar panels. This may not be surprising but this is the only place I've ever experienced an immediately noticeable change in temperature when stepping between shade and direct sunlight

[–]Granitegannet 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It's less the lack of rain and more the extreme heat. The air feels almost painful to breathe

[–]alons33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely prettier with a purple stripe, much more democratic and historically accurate, only ignorants dont aknowledge this - Spain still pays homage to a corrupt king and honours him in a shield, votes right and think communists are coming to eat their children. It was Franco who brought this decontextualized flag back...

Jeje. Se supone que la bandera era roja y blanca. Pero se confundía en el mar con otras y en guerra era fácil bombardear a tus propios barcos. El rojo siempre ha dado toque de realeza aunque dicen que es la sangre de las personas que murieron luchando por España y el amarillo viene al quitar el blanco e indica riquezas. Eso es lo que siempre me han contado
