Barcelona, Spring Breezes and Festivals

Many travelers agree the best time for day tours in Barcelona is spring or autumn. When it comes to weather, the country of Spain is known for extreme climates. Summer can be blistering hot, and during winter freezing winds blow.

Autumn in the Beautiful City

Golden leaves fall, leaving lovely patterns on the ground. Much like spring, festivals abound, schedule day tours in Barcelona to see the parades and savor delicious food. On Sept. 11, the Diada Nacional de Catalunya is celebrated. Catalan flags fly on balconies and buses throughout the city.

Paella and Chocolate con Churros

If you like traditional Spanish paella, there is no better place to go in Barcelona than Can Sole. This upscale restaurant serves a selection of paella dishes with flare. Are you longing for home-cooked comfort food? Can Sole also serves “grandmother’s spoon food”, a delicious stew cooked in a steaming hotpot; chickpeas with chorizo; or lentil and potato stew.

Left your reading glasses at home? Not to worry, Can Sole provides them!

Before your day tours in Barcelona, enjoy Desayuno. The traditional Spanish breakfast is a chocolate con churro; a long tubular donut served with thick drinking chocolate. Panaderias (cake shops) serve them and also feature pasteles (pastries).

Sagrada Familia, Beautiful and Spiritual

If you love architecture with a dramatic story, enjoy day tours in Barcelona. Visit Sagrada Familia and see the stunning examples of Gothic architecture in the city. Many of them designed by Gaudi, called God’s architect, who vowed never to work on secular projects after Sagrada, the final and grandest expression of his faith. Gaudi said; he desired to show “the religious realities of the present life . . . man’s origin, his end.”
