What to Expect in Barcelona

Fill your trip to GRLC with fun activities, sights, and delicious food in beautiful Barcelona.

Barcelona, the capital of Spain's Catalonia region, is a major Mediterranean port and commercial center, famed for its individuality, cultural interest, and physical beauty. From the fantastical Sagrada Familia church to the medieval Gothic Quarter, Barcelona is truly a stunning city.

Things to Do in Barcelona

Barcelona boasts a vibrant blend of history, art, food, and culture. Here are some of our top recommendations to visit during your trip:

  • Sagrada Familia - Gaudi's iconic and unfinished basilica with intricate details and breathtaking views
  • Park Guell - This park, designed by Gaudi, is filled with beautiful mosaics, vibrant colors, and panoramic city views
  • Gothic Quarter - Wander through the medieval streets of Barcelona's oldest district, enjoying classic architecture, shops, and cafes
  • La Rambla - Barcelona's most famous street, bustling with shops, performers, and cafes
  • Mercat de la Boqueria - a vibrant food market with a wide array of fresh produce, seafood, and local delicacies
  • Picasso Museum - Explore the works of one of the world's most impressive virtuoso artists during his formative years

Weather in Barcelona

Average temperatures in Barcelona in November are around 14°C or 57°F. You can expect overcast skies but relatively little rain. Bring a jacket or jumper to keep warm once the sun sets on this lovely Mediterranean city.

What to Eat

Barcelona offers a diverse culinary scene, with some must-try dishes. We recommend:

  • Paella - a rice and seafood dish local to the region
  • Patatas bravas - fried potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce
