Barcelona In Winter

Barcelona in the winter is fairly mild and relatively humid with average temperatures in October of 17.4C dropping to 11.4C in December. Barcelona sits on the north eastern coast of the Iberian peninsula on the Mediterranean coastline. It is the Capital of Catalonia and has a distinct Mediterranean feel. It is very picturesque with it’s stunning architecture, thanks to the influences of Gaudí’s architecture and galleries showing the works of Miró, Tápies and Picasso. Barcelona is Spain’s second largest city and the centre is a remarkable Gothic Quarter.

 

For your winter shopping try the world famous Las Rambles and the city market or stroll along the mile long promenade to the Plaza de Catalunya. Here you will find everything you can imagine and the market has some items that you might not normally see when you are buying your food. There are human statues, fortune-tellers, artists, dancers and musicians.

 

If your tastes are a bit higher, then move to the southern end of the town and browse in L’Eixample for your Gucci, Max Mara, Ferragamo or why not try the Gothic Quarter, where you will find hundreds of smaller boutiques. At the Gothic Catherdral of Sagrada Familia, it is well worth climbing to the top for some magnificent views of the city and surrounding area.

 

The Park Guell is a must with it’s gatehouses which resemble Hansel and Gretel, a spectacular staircase, a mosaic dragon and if you climb to the top of the park you will not be disappointed as it offers some impressive views.

 

If you’re looking for live music, then you will not be disappointed. Barcelona offers various locations, such as Razzmatazz, Bikini, The Gran Teatre del Liceu, L’Auditori and Palau de la Musica Catalana.

 

The options for music festivals range from Primavera Sound, Festival d’Opera de Butxaca I Noves Creacions to the Festival International de Jazz de Barcelona.

 

You will soon discover some of the most beautiful beaches and sheltered harbours in the region but you can also find quaint villages and solitary castles, old museums and churches, all waiting to be explored by you and your family.

 

Barcelona offers such a large variety of things that you can see and do, so it’s no wonder that city breaks are very popular and Barcelona is one of the top destinations in Spain. The unbelievable architecture, impressive Spanish cuisine, flamboyant culture and wondrous weather all help to make Barcelona a truly magnificent city.

 

You could be strolling down the winding streets and soaking up the bustling atmosphere on a weekend break in Barcelona in no time. So whether you choose to visit the beaches and coastline, the countryside or the mountains, you will have a journey you will never forget but want to repeat again and again. You will find that the majority of attractions are a fair distance away from Barcelona, so a car can open up the region to you.
