Barcelona & the Costa Brava

Barcelona & the Costa Brava · Spain · Barcelona

A cathedral that has been under construction since 1882 and somehow still looks unfinished on purpose, beaches inside the city limits, and a rugged coast north of town for the day you want to escape both.

The best time to visit Barcelona & the Costa Brava is Apr–May, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 21°C (71°F). Local time there is 17:34 (UTC+2).
