The last few years have been the protagonists of exceptional situations that we had not experienced up to now. 2020 brought us a global pandemic and, just when we thought we had seen it all, in January 2021 Filomena appeared, the name given to the storm that painted half of Spain white and, predicted by Jorge Rey, a 15-year-old boy from Rodilla Monastery that managed to guess that a never-before-seen snowfall was coming using the method of the cabañuelas.
This method is based on the observation of nature during the month of August to predict the weather for the following year and, which now states that the first major snowfall that could be considered Philomena will take place on January 24 of 2022 and that will affect low levels.
For this reason, from El Comprador de La Vanguardia we have searched and selected all those accessories that can be useful during a heavy snowfall like last year, so that you are prepared for any situation.
