I'm not sure if you can, but you just wish it so (maybe document your wish to a moderator) and it just happens.Aside: how do you edit a typo in a thread title?
Yes, the blood-sucking biting flying insects known as mosquitos are seasonal in Europe and that includes Spain.Reading a few comments on @MARSKA's live thread, I'm curious about this
I don’t have recent experience of the Frances but walked the del Norte this September/ early October and definitely encountered mosquitos. Not that many but a few got me. It was hot and I slept with windows open so no surprise. I think climate change is probably stretching their season into October.Reading a few comments on @MARSKA's live thread, I'm curious about this.
Being an "open-the-window" freak, and having been successful on many occasions, I can't recall having had any problem with mosquitos. But I always go in late-May to June. Maybe only a problem after sustained wet weather?
My eventual conversion to the (mostly) private-room option has been very much influenced by my aversion to closed rooms.
Have you any recipes to share? It is so hard to find good ones. I remember, years ago, Radio Austrialia providing a recipe for quiche termaine but mosquitos and termites are not interchangeable.I am tempted to say one can enjoy mosquitoes at any time of the year, so long as you cook them properly, ...
Over the years I have been bitten by what I'll only assume have been spiders. I've not seen mosquitos while walking.Reading a few comments on @MARSKA's live thread, I'm curious about this.

Generally speaking, mosquitos are not fussy about whom they bite. They don't worry whether or not we are in season....they just find us really yummy....,Reading a few comments on @MARSKA's live thread, I'm curious about this.

Made the mistake of leaving a hotel window open in Porto at the beginning of September and got eaten!Reading a few comments on @MARSKA's live thread, I'm curious about this.

plural mosquitoes also mosquitosAside: how do you edit a typo in a thread title?
Ah yes, @David61. Interestingly that wasn’t the typo I was referring to…a mod immediately fixed the (other) one. Spelling rules are a nightmare. Pianos and radios, tomatoes and potatoes.plural mosquitoes also mosquitos

Wow. So odd - walked the CF late Sept / early Nov; SJPdP to SdC. No skeeters but lots of biting flies.We encountered lots of 'skeeters on the Frances this fall in late Sept. / early Oct. Had to stop and buy bug spray.
