A pleasant climate throughout the year is undoubtedly one of the characteristic aspects of Barcelona. For your getaway to Barcelona, spring and summer are the ideal seasons to visit and discover the city, but also to enjoy the beach and sunshine. Note that March should be avoided as it is often rainy. The late season is also very pleasant, however, the months of October and November are often punctuated by rain in the form of short and violent storms.

Some of Barcelona’s cultural and artistic events include:
5/6 January: Epiphany - the Three Wise Men distribute gifts to children, and march through the streets.
April 23rd: Feast of Sant Jordi, protector of Catalonia. According to tradition, book stands and stalls of roses are dotted throughout the city.
June 24: St. John's Day when fireworks and neighbourhood festivals are organised.
September 24: Feast of Mercé Musical events are organised throughout the city for the patron saint of Barcelona.
