August is the hottest month in Spain when temperatures run
up to 40 degrees. Whether you like hot weather or not August isn't the best
month to visit vibrant Barcelona. Luckily the city has enough to offer for you
dare devils out there. So there are plenty of ways to enjoy Barcelona in the
middle of a heat wave.
First: copy the
locals and stay inside
You will notice that the majority of shops and even a few
tourist attractions are closed during the afternoon. Nobody in Barcelona wants to face the blazing
August sun during the day. There is
simply no fun to be had in the 40 degree heat so stay inside your air
conditioned apartment or hotel room. Only come out when the sun sets and the
city comes alive again.
Second: be cultural
The majority of museums in central Barcelona are open until
late. They often organise some pretty awesome events during summer. You could combine a visit to Casa Mila with
some jazz music and fine wine. Or you could go to one of the events organised
at the CaixaForum on Wednesday nights. The beautiful surroundings host a number
of great shows including theatre, music and dance.
Third: discover the joy of dining underneath the stars
Barcelona offers you the best opportunities for enjoying a
scrumptious meal outdoors. You can choose from anything in between a homemade
picnic in the park or the terrace of a four star restaurant.
Fourth: go and experience Spanish cinema
There are multiple venues throughout the city that have
organised outdoor cinema screenings. The most impressive venue is probably the
Castle on top of the Mont Juïc.
Whilst you are there you might also want to consider a
night tour around the area.
