Barcelona in April On 23 April, Sant Jordi, people exchange roses and books, and book stalls line the streets. If Easter falls nearby, rooms get expensive. A T-shirt is fine at midday but you need a layer at night, and the sea is still cold.
Highs averaged 19°C and lows 11°C, an easy range for walking around all day. 6 rain days in a typical April: noticeable, but most days stayed dry. Averages hide a lot here: one year saw 1, another 11.
