Hi Sqad, thanks so much for your response. I certainly may ask! At the moment we have been twice and we are coming out again in November for a week, so we had an idea last November about iffy weather, and we wouldn't expect 100% sunshine anyway. We just love the peace of the islands, although I am concerned whether my inquiring mind would be frustrated if we didn't live near one of the towns, so we could get involved in classes, clubs etc. We have a bit of Spanish but know that Catalan is different!
