Spain gets around 3000 sunlight per year, which is a lot. If you compare it with for example The Netherlands it is only around 1568 hours per year. So in Barcelona most of the year the sun is shining. However sometimes you just don’t have that much luck with the weather. But don’t let it ruin your trip, you can still see and enjoy a lot in Barcelona on a rainy day. Use this time to see all the indoor places on your list.
Here you have some tips on what to see and do on a rainy day in Barcelona:
Casa Batlló
Casa Battló is one of Gaudi’s famous work, it is located on Paseo de Gracia. The building was built in 1877 by Emilio Sala Cortés, one of Gaudi’s architecture professors. And later in 1903 it was purchased by Mr Josep Batlló y Casanovas, who put Gaudí in charge of the project and fully reformed the building between 1904 and 1906. It is a beautiful house, and they have a rooftop with a view of Barcelona. tickets are from 29 euros.
