Colour is a Map: The Camel Esturary and Doom Bar

[@Ruben1928]

Hello, I am reading your book, but I have a problem, when sometimes you say things like: 'the tree develops the roots more in the direction in which the strongest gusts reach it'. The problem is that I'm from Spain and I don't know where the strongest gusts of wind come from. Could you tell me where the strongest gusts of wind come from? Thank you I love your book.

From my experience the dominant wind in Spain is the poniente which comes from the North West Atlantic (it's what fuels the gota fria in the South East plain) This is dominant in all but the eastern plains Occasionally in the South and East you can have South to North Winds from the Sahara, and this is identified from the colour of the sky (orange tint) or sand deposits on the Southern sides of structures and trees. This tends to blow when the Lavante is weaker In Cadiz and Malaga and as far north as Murcia you have the Lavante from the East which comes across the Mediterranean. So it depends on where you are at the time. You should use these in conjunction with other clues to determine the answer.
