In a typical winter, Arico needs the heating on 0 nights out of 151, and AEMET has not recorded a single frost there in 9 measured winters. Its worst winter of the series needed 6.
Every figure is the median of 9 winters from 1 November to 31 March, measured at the AEMET station named Arico, at 418 m. Never a mean: averaging a hard winter with a gentle one invents a mild one that did not happen.
The last column is the part a brochure leaves out. A winter this mild is paid for in summer, and here the bill is 13 nights a year above 20 °C. Why that trade-off is almost impossible to escape: the best climate in Spain, year round.

</a>The badge is an SVG, so it stays sharp at any size; change width and height to taste. It links back to this page, where your guests can check the figures themselves. That link is the point: a seal nobody can verify is a sticker.
What you may claim with it: that the area around Arico has this measured winter climate. What you may not: that your rooms are warm. A thermometer outside says nothing about insulation, and we would have to withdraw the seal from anyone who implies otherwise.
If the numbers change — and they are changing — this page changes with them. It is rebuilt from AEMET’s records every month, so it can also stop saying what it says today.
