There may also be rainy days and you may want to bring a jacket when you are outside just in case it rains. Snow is unheard here in Barcelona and if ever it happens the snow does not last more than a few hours.
Make sure your hotel offers a good heating system.

February 29 Daily Comment: Temperature 8 -13°C around 46.5 – 55F . What a mixed bag of weather we’ve had today in Barcelona. This morning started out beautifully sunny with an average temperature for this time of year (around 13°C) but by 15:00 the weather had changed completely and it actually started snowing. I was amazed to see people dancing in the streets and getting excited about this because snow in Barcelona is practically unheard of. The snow did not settle because at 8°C at ground level it melted right away but it was quite a site to see. I used to live in the UK where snow is a regular thing, so I preferred to watch the snow fall, and the people dance, from the comfort of my own warm flat. |

Day 13 – updated on Sat ( took the day off) Weather: Temperature 15° C around 59 F -Sunny. Are our reports more accurate than Satellites? I’ve had an e-mail from a weather conscious viewer ( I think he must work for the meteorological survey centre or somewhere important like that) who claims that a person with a €20.00 thermometer cannot be as accurate as a multibillion pound orbiting satellite 1,000km above the earth. I was about to send a message back explaining that it was just a joke and not to take things too seriously, and that my thermometer was actually €23.00 etc but then I thought about it more and came to one interesting conclusion. Our reports actually may well be more accurate. All our reports are 100% accurate because we report what we have actually experienced so we never get it wrong. Unfortunately weather satellite prediction reports only give possibilities for the future (i.e. weather that does not exist yet and may never exist) not a summary of what the weather has actually been like -something you get on this page 😉 |

This hotel is claimed to be the one of best hotel’s in Barcelona. If you decide to stay at this hotel you will enjoy magnificent views of the Mediterranean sea and will be just minutes away from the Beach or the Marina area ( Port Olympic). We have included photos of the hotel and surrounding area to give you an idea of what it’s like. Review of the hotel Arts Barcelona
Or if you fancy some art there are the Picasso and Miró Museums and of course there is plenty of indoor shopping to be found around Avenida Portal de L’ Angel. Once you have made it to the evening time you will be trying out tapas bars or eating at restaurants so bad weather won’t be such a problem during the evening. But even so we’ve got our fingers crossed this bad weather will be on its way soon.
Anyway I know I said that spring was around the corner a few days ago but you never know what is going to happen with the weather.
