Introduction

Barcelona is popular tourist destination that boasts of extensive architectural design, history and many beautiful beaches. If you are considering going to Barcelona in October, these are the clothes you are going to need for a comfortable and fashionable trip. In this guide, we will also give you an idea of the kind of weather to expect during your one week sojourn and some recommended wear.

 

Part 6: Explaining the Weather of Barcelona in October

October is actually fall in Barcelona, and though it begins to get cooler by this time of the year, it is cool as compared to many other European cities. The average temperature during the day varies between 16-22 C/61-72 F, the evenings and mornings are however cooler.

 

Layering is Key

Because the temperature can vary drastically it is recommended to always dress in layers you can either put on or take off. In this way, it becomes possible to work in the open air in different weather conditions during the day. It also gives one the opportunity to respond to any rain showers when in the park or cooler evenings when rocking a t-shirt is much more appropriate.

 

What to Pack

Now that you know the weather forecast, let’s discuss what specific items you should pack for your week in Barcelona:

 

1. Light Tops and T-Shirts

Despite the weather changes pack both, short-sleeve and long-sleeves since they may be needed during the day. Choose loose and airy clothing whose fabrics are cotton or linen and other related materials. These will be good for warmer days, as they will keep you warm, though will not be too warm when it gets cooler.

 

2. Sweaters or Light Jackets

Two or three thin knitwear or joinery will be useful when worn under your tops during the cooler period in the morning or at night. Find items that will match well with other clothes since this way you will use the same clothes with different combinations.

 

3. Pants and Jeans

Pack one or two different pairs of pants and two different pants like jeans. Use fabrics such as denim or light weight and smooth cotton. These will be able to keep you warm in the day and yet you can have the warmth whenever you need it.

 

4. Comfortable Shoes

Barcelona is what I like to call a pedestrian’s paradise so it is very important that you wear comfortable footwear. If you want to be comfortable, then sneakers or closed-toe flats will serve you right. Do not wear high heel or uncomfortable shoes that will make you have a sore feet after having toured around.

 

5. Light Dresses or Skirts

As for fashion lovers who like dresses or skirts we recommend to wear light fabrics which can be worn with tights or leggings underneath. Select stylish and comfortable outfits that should be appropriate for various occasions and which do not require frequent washing.

 

6. Swimwear and Beach Essentials

While making a trip to the beach is probably not what we imagine when thinking of October, Barcelona will still afford you a nice sunny day on the beach. Bring your swim wear and a towel, a beach bag and sun block. Sometimes you might be lucky to find it a good weather to go and enjoy by the Mediterranean sea.

 

7. Accessories and Essentials

These include sunglasses, a sun hat and a small scarf that you may consider indispensable on your trip. These items can shield you form the sun in the day and these are great accessories to enhance your dressing code.

 

Additional Tips

Here are a few additional tips to enhance your packing experience:

 

1. Check the Weather Forecast

Before you go on your Barcelona trip, ensure that you consult the four or five day weather forecast for the area. This will help you decide on what to pack and what not to pack while on the trip, so that you create a new list which does not include items that are likely to cause a problem.

 

2. Pack a Portable Umbrella

It was a cloudy day and although it was in October they had some rain at Barcelona. In order to avoid being soaked by rain bring along a fold up umbrella which will be small enough to fit in a handbag.

 

3. Consider Cultural Dress Codes

Barcelona is a very liberal city, however, it is still important to dress more modestly if you wish to visit churches for instance. The best thing for such appearances is to pack at least one set of clothes that can cover the shoulders and the knees.

 

Conclusion

Preparation for dressing in Barcelona in October poses a need to carry both light and multiple layer wear since the climate is relatively changeable. Bring walking shoes and make sure to check the weather forecast and be ready for a little rain. If you follow these tips and pack the right clothes for your Barcelona week, you are going to get the best of the city ofBarcelona dressed up right and comfortably.
