🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect glorious Mediterranean summer weather with temperatures between +22°C and +28°C. The sun is intense, so high SPF and a hat are essential during the day. Evenings near the coast can be breezy (+18°C), so a light layer is recommended. With sunset at 21:26, you have plenty of light for late-night photography. Stay hydrated—look for the "Font de Canaletes" style drinking fountains throughout the city.
