Barcelona is the set on the Mediterranean coast of Spain and enjoys a great climate for most of the year but can get very hot in July and August and many of the locals try to get out of there and head for the beach or to the mountains. The city of Barcelona is beautiful to walk around with stunning buildings and a great café life, where you can sit outside of restaurants and enjoy a café con leche or some tapas of a glass of wine or cava. Barcelona is full of outdoor markets and stalls and it is a very inviting city to stroll around. Spring and autumn are lovely times of the year to visit, or in summer if you are doing it as part of beach holiday also. All this can be done while enjoying the warm weather and a good coffee to revive you if the walking tires you out.
