On the coast, the influence of the sea gives a mild Mediterranean climate, so that in the coastal towns you will find warm summers and fairly mild winters. In the interior, the mountains and mountain ranges mark a Mediterranean continental climate. Therefore, in the center and east of the territory the temperatures are more pronounced, with hot summers and cold winters. If you visit the Pyrenees, you will enjoy the high mountain climate, with precipitation and snow in winter and very mild summers.

If you like hiking or cycling, it is probably the best season to enjoy the beautiful Catalan landscapes, which are filled with flowers and bright vegetation. Of course, the temperature difference between day and night can be considerable, so we recommend you dress in layers and bring a raincoat for occasional showers. PHOTO 48500Summer is traditionally the ideal season to enjoy the beach, although it is not the only one. Catalonia has almost six hundred kilometers of coastline with lots of sand and small coves where you can enjoy the sun and the sea. If you prefer a cooler summer, the ideal destination is the Pyrenees. You will find a landscape of green valleys, high mountain lakes and quiet villages of small houses with slate roofs where you can walk in moderate temperatures. In the evenings, you'll even appreciate a sweater or a thin anorak.PHOTO 544471In autumn, the heat eases and it's a good time to discover ocher and brown tones of landscapes and forests, where it is very popular to go out to look for mushrooms. The beaches are also a highly recommended destination at this time, as they are rarely frequented and the water temperature is still similar to that of summer. On the other hand, indoors and especially in mountain areas, the temperature can be noticeably cooler, so don't forget to take some thicker clothes to keep you warm if necessary.PHOTO 9369 Winter also undoubtedly has its charms. On the coast, the temperatures are very mild and days that could almost be categorized as spring are not uncommon. A sweater and a light coat or jacket will suffice in your luggage. It is one of the best times to do urban tourism, given that the influx of visitors decreases. And if you like snow sports, you can practice them on any of the many ski slopes in the territory. They are perfectly equipped to delight both alpine skiing lovers and those who prefer to make excursions with snowshoes, cross-country skiing or snowboarding. Don't forget to take a good coat or a thick anorak, scarf and gloves, because in the Pyrenees, in winter, especially at night, it can be quite cold.PHOTO 538825 These tips are a reflection of the climate in Catalonia during the different seasons of the year, but our final advice is that, before coming there, consult the weather forecast on one of the specialized local websites, such as Meteo.cat.
