I doubt very much that during your stay here that you,ll be disturbed. Unusual. for the time of year, to be attacked.

I usually get bitten,mainly on the lower legs so i would wear long trousers in the evenings,you may find that you need too in the evenings at this time of year anyway.

We live on Golf del Sur which tends to suffer in the summer evenings with mosquitoes due to the constant evening watering of the two golf courses.

At the moment there are only a few hardy mosquitoes around and i haven't been bitten once,fingers crossed!!
