Thus, for a few weeks they live in the old whitewashed cottages, more or less remodeled. In the shade of the fruit trees, next to the alberca, the rigors of July and August are better endured. ![spanish.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdGQg8b523hxpPGLb98yVqp18suWAJHQZFutQU8rME9rs/spanish.jpg) En cuanto llega el estío y el calor comienza a apretar en la Mancha (es normal que las temperaturas diurnas ronden los 35 °C, con picos de 40 °C, y que las nocturnas no bajen de los 20 °C), muchas familias de Daimiel, aquellas que pueden, se marchan durante el día a las pequeñas huertas que salpican los alrededores del pueblo. Así, durante unas semanas hacen vida en las viejas casillas encaladas, más o menos remodeladas. A la sombra de los frutales, junto a la alberca, se sobrellevan mejor los rigores de julio y agosto. **Some details of the painting** ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaJg9FPE2bgxWjDpSo79H925MUe5osPy6txPE1Nxh1Xwr/image.png) ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXkmaHhDLfbUktsHrYRP6N3A2ojUjAhAKQv6XSU8fVKcq/image.png) ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNzcMgZgGDFDnkgEiMCGzvgtxm1Tfd6mfFkHr6ftQQEpz/image.png) ![separador.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUgmUiFbX7vkmYLhkHfWUuJ5po9gxA2T7RdT1KSyZ58Wx/separador.png) https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUtrMuKVfYrFCHMQKukMrLDW2HxaCegvcrWYX8QJkNAdY/image.png
