Normally, during June and July there are few, if any biting insects to bother us. On occasions we have encountered mosquitos in the mountains but this has been more a seasonal abnormality rather than a norm. We advise that when walking in the mountains, a long sleeved shirts and long trousers are worn to protect against sunburn or biting insects. If you know you have a bad reaction to biting insects then we advise you bring insect repellent and anti-histamine tablets or cream to treat any bites.
