The weather in Barcelona is just wonderful at the moment, considering it is the middle of winter. Yes it can be cold in the mornings and at night, but the days are often really warm. I think there has been one day in the past 3 weeks that was cloudy, for the rest it is blue skies. We have had lunch on the terrace and I have actually had to put sunblock on luca one day.

On Sunday we went to the beach. As we all know Alina is a cold creature, but there she was in short sleeves, tights and boots discarded nearby, rolling around in the sand! There were even people (probably Irish) sunbathing!! We sat there with a beer, while the kids made sandcastles. It was perfect. Days like that really make you want to stay in this lovely city.
