Cold Weather in Barcelona

As soon as I mention that I live in Barcelona, everyone seems to visualise sunshine, beaches and eating tapas in the outdoors - or at least a similar type of living. It isn't always warm though and the recent snow storms in the UK and across Europe have certainly also affected us down here.

Apart from several friends and family getting stuck in the UK because of the closure of Gatwick airport today and 2 friends being stuck in Barcelona (poor things) because their flight was cancelled back to the UK, it has also been chilly here.

With temperatures falling to 3 or 4 degrees Celsius, many people have A/C but not proper heating. Sitting outdoors with a coffee in a cafe has also been out of the question, although I have seen a few people determined not to have their routine affected/ They have dressed up in several layers and enjoyed a coffee in the outdoors.

The good news is that there are so many things to do here in Barcelona, regardless of the weather. There are some many wonderful exhibitions in Barcelona throughout the year and you can also choose from some excellent shops, museums and galleries for some indoor activities.

Happy Christmas you all of you and talk to you again in the New Year. Seasons greetings from Barcelona, Spain.
