In The Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia we can contemplate the moment of the first bath of the day in the radiant dawn on the beach of Gavà, in Baix Llobregat, with a radiant sun that announces a skyrocketing heat in the coming days.

With summer just around the corner, the beach is the ideal place for fun and disconnection for everyone. And being the first to arrive has added benefits, due to greater peace of mind, without stress.

The sea breeze helps cleanse the lungs. It also improves dermatitis, thanks to the salt in seawater. Other benefits are the improvement of defenses, the regulation of blood pressure and muscle relaxation. In addition, swimming in the sea serves as physical exercise.

This weekend you are going to feel like swimming at the beach. The Aemet points out that the heat will be the tonic and in some areas of Spain the maximum temperatures could be around 38 to 40 degrees Celsius (ºC), as in the Guadalquivir valley.

The spring of this year has been the third warmest since 1940 in Catalonia, despite the normal temperatures of May, with an average temperature of 13.1 ºC, which implies 1 ºC higher than the reference value 1991-2020, according to data from Aemet.
