Climate
Due to its proximity to the
Atlantic Ocean , it could be said that Ares does not enjoy extreme oscillation in its weather conditions neither in winter nor in summer. The weather is mild all the year around almost as if we were talking about one only season, and that is very different from what happens in other parts of theIberian Peninsula . Like the rest of Galicia, it is rainy and beautifully green. Still, the summers tend to be a bit dryer than the wintersAres Council
