	Summer / Winter Clothes: What to take in March	Tip Rating:

We visited Barcelona at the beginning of March, and for myself and most of the people we met over there from the UK we found the temperatures during the day PERFECT. It was a very comfortable 16C - 18C. Although the locals and visitors from warmer climates were in coats we found a short sleeved shirt more than enough during the day. For early in the morning and early evening I had a jumper. For the evening a small jacket worked fine. There was a heavy shower on one of the late afternoons, so it's worth carrying a small waterproof coat. You have to walk Barcelona to appreciate it the most, so I would advise some very comfortable shoes for the day especially.

Barcelona usually is a warm city. If you visit it in the summer (May to September), you should bring very fresh clothes (specially in july/august, where the temperature can reach easily 40 celsius degrees). The winter is not very cold, but from october to march you should take some good coat, VERY specially if you want to visit some place at the north, near the Pirenees (it's very cold up there). Also, you should take an umbrella (it does not rain very often, but when it rains it rains a lot!).

Barcelona's location on the shores of the Mediterranean means that it enjoys a warm, welcoming climate and pleasant temperatures all year round. Between the Barceloneta district and the River Besos, the city has over four kilometres of perfectly equipped beaches which are frequented by its residents during most of the years. Barcelona also has an olympic harbour which provides excellent conditions for water sports. Rainfall is often heavy, with levels of around 1,000mm per year. This helps to maintain the many green areas around the city. In any season of the year, Barcelona basks in the sun. You can eat in open-air restaurants or have a drink on the terraces, by the shores of the Mediterranean sea.

	Summer / Winter Clothes: Good walking shoes and a wind breaker	Tip Rating:

Not so much that you woudl be bogged down with. The stairwells can be tiny and the metro stations are only so big.

I was there during the winter. It was a lot more mild than what I was used to in England but it is still quite windy and can be quite chilly. It also can be quite cloudy at times. But when the sun is out and you are walking around, you will be glad to have comfortable layered clothes that you can easily remove.

There are plenty of pharmacies around for any kind of medicines. But they have sporadic hours. Any corner market may be able to provide you with some various toiletries if you are in need.

In general, pack with what you are comfortable with. Nice clothes to go out would be a good idea. Many places will not allow "trainers" into their clubs or bars.

The Summer in Barcelona is very hot and humid so be prepared! For women DON'T -wear shorts, especially not really short ones unless you like cat calls. -wear beach clothes on the streets. -don't bring a heavy sweater it will be very hot! DO -wear midlength or longer lightweight summer skirts -wear white lightweight pants and tops. Over all in the summer there are so many tourists that you shouldn't worry too much about sticking out but from my experience the short skirts, and small tanktops that are popular in California will just lead to catcalls on the streets of Barcelona.

Pack an extra bag with wheels for all the goodies you'll find at the duty free store at the airport! Olive oil makes a great gift but it's heavy! I would have bought more it was cheap!

If you travel to B in the winter, bring a scarf. All the women wrap a scarf around their neck and it was the first thing I bought! It was cold in February. It even snowed!

I brought a light weight leather jacket and thank goodnees for the extra sweater I packed in case it got really cold. It did! Be prepared!
