In Barcelona hot summers contrast with cool winters,
and in August, despite the shade in the tree lined
boulevards, locals desert the city for the coastal
resorts to escape the heat. The table and charts
below show the average temperature and rainfall
in Barcelona. |

While the first temptation is to find a bar with tables
outside in the sunshine and an ice cold beer, a few
days spent in the heat has most people wanting to head
for somewhere cooler. The beaches south of Barcelona
at Castelldefels, Sitges and Vilanova are easy to get
to by train, while further south towards tarragona the
Costa Daurada offers miles of beaches. Also The Costa
Brava to the north offers many pictureque opportunities
to lie back on the sand and work on a tan.
