Libeccio
The libeccio is the south-westerly wind of the Western Mediterranean ; it frequently raises high seas and may give violent westerly squalls. In summer it is most persistent, but in winter it alternates with the Tramontane. The word libeccio is Italian, coming from Greek through Latin, and originally means "Libyan".
The direction of the Libeccio is from the south-east, and it occurs along the coast from Cabo de Gata to Cap de la Nau, and even beyond Málaga for a distance of some inland.
