A tourist trip somewhere in October-albeit in Barcelona-is not the most obvious entertainment. Indeed, by mid -autumn, summer vacation was not yet finally erased from memory. And fatigue – if your vacation has passed on traditional dates – has not yet managed to accumulate.
The new working season at this time is gaining momentum, bets and salaries They are growing, schoolchildren and students are already biting into the next layer of knowledge. In a word, there is simply no time for rest!
Or is there still?! Indeed, today the most cold-blooded and unperturbed people finally realized that trips with a large gathering of tourists in the very peak of the season and travels to relatively sparsely dates are completely different things.
Both in terms of quality of impressions, and in the amount expended. And the point is to plan your holidays in the non -most popular period of the year. Yes, what!
Especially when it comes to a city like Barcelona, in October thoroughly empty. Yes More than cheaper, perhaps, too. That against the background is still very warm weather and very moderate rains … After all, an occasion?!

The main city of Catalonia and the tourist capital of Spain in the literal and figurative sense is very hot in the summer. Yes, even in September, Barcelona is seething and literally dancing.
The international tourist at this time still hugs his vacation. Enjoying very good, and at times and generally excellent weather by European standards.
And what about the average month of autumn? Yes, too, everything is very good – the air temperature in Barcelona during October stubbornly holds at commendable levels, all in the last years it is in the afternoon does not fall below +17-18 ° C. And then, it usually does it at the very end of the month – on the threshold of November.
Day maximums are even such that it is just right to amaze – is it true in the yard of the average month of autumn? In particular: in the beginning and even mid -October, the weather in Barcelona makes gifts stably. And the air, and not one -time, but day after day warms up to +22-24sometimes even +26 degrees Celsius.
It is noteworthy, at night up to at least the middle of the month, also heat – not lower than +18 ° C. And only in the last decade of October after sunset in the capital of Catalonia it becomes cool, the atmosphere cools +14-16 ° C at night.
In general, the local climate is matured by a mature autumn – because in the literal sense of the word warm – stability! And she will undoubtedly appreciate the curious and loving a tourist to walk a lot.
When also to inspect the most interesting places in Barcelona, if not so even, non -fire, weather?
Precipitation
Statistically the average monthly rainfall is quite high – it reaches 60 mm. But the truth is that the lion’s part of this volume usually falls in just 2-3 inconspicuous days.
Therefore, probably, positive reviews about how in Barcelona in October it is good, warm and sunny, they are in the total majority. Although, we repeat, a chance to find one or two, slightly rain or even powerful rain, a chance to catch one or two-is present.
The second half of October in the sense of precipitation is much “more promising”. What is logical: the more mature the fall becomes, the colder and rainy in Europe even on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

What to take with you
Obviously, on the streets you will meet people dressed “in the weather.” Dress in Barcelona throughout October – at least two of its first decades – you can Quite easy: in loose trousers and sundresses, shorts and breeches, shirts, topics and t -shirts.
In the evenings or for a secular exit or in a restaurant you can wear a jacket or a jacket. Of the shoes, both sandals and moccasins or sneakers will come in handy.
Do not forget to put in luggage Battle accessories And other items that take with them on vacation at sea. Because almost certainly you will want to swim. And there will be (not one) the opportunity to do this – in Barcelona there are a lot of sandy beaches!
Water temperature
At first, everything is almost perfect. Mediterranean Sea at the latitude of Barcelona Heated to +22-23 ° Cthe beaches are replete with tourists, numerous figures are lazy along the surf strip.
Children play, responsible adults swim near the shore. In general, everything goes along the rolled rut, swimming in Barcelona both at the beginning and mid -October – you can!
But at the end of the month, this lesson becomes the destiny of people of hardened, not trembling when going into water with a temperature of about +18-19 ° C. Vigorously crawling out of the waves after washing and even deliberately striving to hide with a towel. What looks rather ridiculous, especially on a cloudy day.
The storm in the indicated period is already in full swing to the coast of Catalonia. And, if they happen, bathing is completely canceled.
Do not obey the red flags – they may not find you later. Precedents – there were, there is no reason to replenish mournful statistics. For the list of what you should see and where you can go for a day from Barcelona is by no means limited to coastal areas.
Prices 2025
A relatively small number of travelers travels to Barcelona as part of an organized tour. Not only because it is expensive (the travel agency will not offend itself), but mainly because they do not want to drive themselves into the framework.
However, if you plan an independent journey, you will have to make some calculations and comparisons. Personed tickets ahead and book a hotel
We will not spread about prices for airline tickets within this material – we just don’t know where your journey will come from.
But about how much Barcelona hotels and apartments want to get, we will tell you – you need to prepare for their levels in advance … and accumulate money. Since if you focus on something more private than hostels, then even in the middle of autumn for the night in Barcelona, a couple of tourists will have to Put from 150 €.
Plus, it is necessary to take into account the local tourist tax – it seriously increases the common check.
Of the inexpensive and high -quality hotels, we select the Hotel BestPrice Diagonal. Which is far from the center, but in a quiet area with excellent transport accessibility. The metro station is literally nearby, if you wish, you will reach a beautiful public beach in just 10-15 minutes.
Noticeably more roads (about 200 € per day), but is located right on the rabla boulevard and near the Hotel Lloret Ramblas Catalonia Square. The dislocation of which allows you to very quickly settled after arriving from the airport – buses from El Prat are parked directly in the square.

What to do
The list of Barcelona’s attractions required for at least external inspection, you can find in our separate review. At the same time, it is worth considering that the Gothic quarter with the cathedral and the Bokers market, the Picasso Museum, adjoins the port. In which, for example, there is a large oceanarium – a tidbit “piece” for tourists with children.
The houses of Gaudi (Kas Balo and Mila), the famous “quarter of discord”, as well as the sagrade, are located in Eshampla, north of Catalonia Square. And the guel Park is even further in the Grassia area.
The fortress of Montzhuik, the National Palace and the singing fountains you will see if you take a walk south of the Parallel Avenue.
For those who want to go somewhere in the vicinity of Barcelona, for example, by train, note that they depart from the Sants station in VIK and Figuras, Tarragon and Girona. And to the Montserrat monastery, for example, from the station of Catalonia Square.
A bus from Barcelona to Andorra also leaves with Estació del Nord and the same Sants.
Naturally, you can rent a car in Spain – in order to independently determine the routes of your movements in Catalonia further. Just do not go to the cheapness-the day of the rental of a completely insured car with a minimum franchise and a reasonable deposit will cost a minimum of 55-60 €.
Events
At the very beginning of October, Sitges Film Festival, dedicated to science fiction films and “horror stations”, took place in Sitzhee near Barcelona. Well, on October 12, all Spain notes Large holiday, national day.
In Barcelona, this event, of course, does not take place on a scale as in Madrid. It may be because Catalonia does not feel especially involved in the opening of America (October 12, 1493).
In any case, this day is a day off. And a large event in the life of the country.
