🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY: Expect a perfect Mediterranean spring: daytime temperatures hover around +18°C to +21°C, cooling down to a crisp +14°C at night. While the sun is generous, May can surprise you with quick afternoon showers. Clothing Tip: Layering is your best friend. Bring a light denim jacket or a windbreaker for the evening sea breeze at Barceloneta and the altitude at Montserrat. Logistics Tip: Take advantage of the late sunset (21:00) for "Golden Hour" photos at the Bunkers or Montjuïc.

🍽 Where to eat
- Lunch: Bacoa Burger (Ronda de la Universitat, 31) — High-quality "gourmet" burgers at budget prices. Try the "Manchego" burger for a local cheese twist.
- Dinner: La Bombeta (Carrer de la Maquinista, 3) — A legendary, no-frills spot in Barceloneta. You must order the "Bombas" (spicy potato-meat croquettes); they claim to have invented them.
🎁 Souvenirs
- La Manual Alpargatera (Carrer d'Avinyó, 7) — The most authentic place to buy traditional Catalan espadrilles. Even Salvador Dalí shopped here!
- The walk from the Gothic Quarter to the beach is beautiful but can be tiring; use Metro L4 (Yellow Line) if your legs need a break.
