Of the 9,807 areas we follow, 34 are starting to stir ahead of the weekend, though none is at its best yet. Over the last two weeks it has really rained in Barcelona (about 29 mm) and Girona (about 15 mm); elsewhere, little or nothing. Rain is expected until Sunday in Girona, Barcelona and Guipúzcoa, with up to 50 mm around Santa Pau. Saturday and Sunday, on the other hand, look dry. By the calendar it is already the season for porcini, bronze boletes, saffron milk caps and Caesar's mushrooms, and the season for yellowfoot is about to begin.
