But if you're looking for a quieter holiday surrounding by green jungles, gorgeous cafes and beautiful accommodation then my list can hopefully help you out!

Barcelona is mostly sunny, but when it's raining, it's way quieter and feels more local. I have been living here for over 6 months and focused most of my time to exploring the city and round abouts as much as I can. It was easy when it was warm and sunny, but what do you do when it's raining in a city like this? How do you prepare? I'm not the one to sit at home for long periods and rainy days are wayyyy less crowded in BCN, so as soon as dark time of the year hit, I gave myself a goal to get out of the house as often as in summer. Here I share essentials needed to prepare for humidity in the streets and tips for exploring indoors: think cafes, restaurants, museums and other activities to do when it's gloomy.
