Show answer and explanation
✓ En el interior de la península, por ejemplo en Madrid
In the interior of the peninsula, such as in Madrid, the climate is continental Mediterranean: cold winters and very hot summers, with little rain. The Mediterranean coast has mild winters and hot summers, and Canarias has a subtropical climate with mild temperatures all year. That is why it is called “continental”: the distance from the sea makes big temperature differences between winter and summer.
