SPRING is officially being delayed in Spain.

It’s thanks to a new cold front sweeping across the country, bringing snow, wind and low temperatures.

Despite tomorrow being the Spring Equinox, some 41 provinces have been issued with weather warnings by AEMET, with some regions forecast to receive a blanket of snow.
