🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY: Expect a delightful Mediterranean spring. Daytime temperatures hover between +18°C and +22°C , perfect for long walks. However, the UV index is high (8-9), so sunscreen is non-negotiable. Evenings cool down quickly to +14°C , so "layering" is your best friend—bring a light jacket or denim layer for late-night tapas runs. Sunset is late (around 21:00), giving you plenty of golden hour light for photos.

🎁 Souvenirs
  • La Manual Alpargatera (Carrer d'Avinyó, 7) — The oldest espadrille shop in the city. Salvador Dalí used to buy his shoes here.
  • The Gothic Quarter is a maze; GPS can be glitchy between tall stone walls. Use the Cathedral spire as your North Star.
