Cosmopolitan air mixed with nature
One in five inhabitants of Barcelona is foreign. In addition, Barcelona is one of the most visited cities in Europe, which makes it a meeting point for many of the world's cultures. This feature is perfectly combined with the simplicity and natural solitude of its surroundings: mountains, national parks, ocean and rock formations.
Weather conditions
Barcelona has a privileged location that gives it a very mild climate throughout the year. The coldest time of the year is usually from December to February, when the average temperature is between 10 and 12ºC. Spring and autumn are very pleasant, with average temperatures ranging between 15 and 21ºC. As of May, the temperature rises and remains hot until the end of September. The hottest month is August, with an average of 29ºC.
Beaches
In addition to its historical monuments and its important cultural tradition, Barcelona has beaches where you can take a dip after an intense hiking day. Visit the area of Port Vell and Barceloneta, an old fishing town. If you move away from the center you can enjoy more unpopulated and quiet beaches, such as Nova Icaría Beach.
