What's the weather like in Barcelona in July?

Ladies What Travel It's hot hot hot in Barcelona in July - well for us it most definitely was! Supposedly the average temp that month is 24 degrees C, but it was over 30 for us! We visited when our kids were still quite young, and stupidly got an Air BnB without aircon, so they were absolutely melting, poor little things. All we could do is strip them down to their pants as soon as we got in, and aim a fan at them. Lesson learnt: ensure you're staying somewhere with aircon during the summer months!

What should I pack for a holiday in Barcelona in July?

Ladies What Travel Light comfortable clothes that will help to keep you cool but also be comfy when you spend the day walking around the city. Maybe a light cardigan for when you go into air con'd buildings, and also a light long sleeved top to make sure you down burn. Speaking of which, you should make sure to pack lots of sun cream to protect your skin and also a stylish pair of sunglasses. Feet-wise, comfy sandals, sneakers or plimsols (I love my Converse for city breaks) for walking and since the city's on the sea you gotta take your swimming costume so you can have a dip!
