Winter in Barcelona

Winter in Barcelona is a great time to stroll around this beautiful city just taking in the sights.

Less hectic than in the summer, with pleasant temperatures, winter is an ideal time to visit.

It might be winter, but it feels like a Scandinavian summer.

Even in February the weather can be glorious during the day, especially when the sun shines.

This time it was 17 C and warm enough to just wear a T-shirt.

However, there’s a chill in the air in the evenings where the temperature can fall to between 5 – 9 C.

So if you are off to a football match or heading out at night, it’s best to be prepared by taking a warm jacket with you.

Popular markets in Barcelona

No visit to Barcelona is complete without visiting a local market.

The sights, sounds and aromas will have your mouth watering in no time.

The fresh produce is artistically displayed and, if you are anything like me, you won’t be able to resist picking up some culinary treasures to try out at home.

Most well known, Mercado de La Boqueria on Las Ramblas.

The oldest one is Mercat de la Concepció.
