Fernando Navarro on Granada's Endless Summer Nights

In a series by elDiario.es, four writers explore what happens in Spanish cities during August. This installment features Fernando Navarro, a screenwriter known for 'Segundo premio', 'Bajocero', and 'Verónica', and novelist, writing about his hometown of Granada. The piece, titled 'El verano es una noche eterna de verano', describes the oppressive heat of late June in the city, where waking up is accompanied by sticky sweat and the sensation of hot tiles underfoot. Navarro poetically compares the summer transformation to becoming a werewolf, with clothes left torn and old on the floor. He notes that looking in the mirror would not reflect one's image, as the silver backing would dissolve to the sound of an old song from the neighborhood. Opening the windows, one breathes in the murky air, signaling the start of the city's night, which will be eternal. The series has previously featured Sergio Galarza in Madrid and Marina Perezagua in Kiev, with this being the third installment.
