What should I pack for a holiday in Barcelona in February?
Whilst February is mild in Barcelona, it's worthwhile packing a light jacket and a hoodie to wear over holiday staples such as midi skirts and dresses. Similarly, a light scarf may be beneficial to keep away the occasional chill. Do not be deterred by the locals, who will be wearing numerous layers in comparison - the weather in February is likely to be much colder to locals than to other visitors from colder European countries!

What's great about Barcelona during February?
One of the best things about visiting Barcelona in February is you get to experience the city outside the hustle and bustle of the high season. Enjoy Barcelona life like a local, brunch al fresco without having to book ahead for a table, watch the sun go down at one of Barcelona's many viewpoints without queuing at photo spots, and check out Barcelona's top attractions with far fewer tourists! Visiting Barcelona in February also presents opportunities to try different seasonal dishes from the area that you may not be able to enjoy at other times during the year, such as calçots (a green onion often served grilled with a rich nutty romesco sauce, which is in season from January - April)

The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person.

You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in February. With moderate humidity, the wind will feel chilly, so you'll want to wear layers.
