🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect glorious Mediterranean summer vibes with daytime highs of +25°C to +28°C. The sun is intense, so high SPF and a reusable water bottle are non-negotiable. Clothing: Opt for breathable linen or cotton. While the beach calls for flip-flops, the Gothic Quarter’s uneven stones require sturdy sneakers. Pro-tip: Always carry a light scarf to cover shoulders if entering churches like the Cathedral or Santa Maria del Mar.
