Groupon's Guide To Barcelona

Set on the Mediterranean coast, between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besòs, the Catalonian capital allures guests with a rich cultural heritage, trade exhibitions and street entertainment.

Cultural wonder seekers will rejoice in admiring UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as the architectural works of Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner, including world-renowned La Sagrada Familia. Live music fans can take a walk down venues such as Razzmatazz and Apolo, while classical music lovers can take advantage of the many concert halls this city has to offer, from The Gran Teatre del Liceu to the modernista Palau de la Música Catalana. Ramblers can climb the Montjuïic and revel in a panoramic view of the city, followed by more chill-out time spent sipping a cocktail at the outdoor bars and cafes along La Rambla. To make the most of the Spanish experience, tourists can head to flamenco talent display sites and witness genuine spectacles from internationally acclaimed dancers. During summer, temperatures can rise up to 28°C, but low humidity and a steady breeze help keep the weather conditions comfortable. September is the wettest month of the year, while in October temperatures drop to 21°C. November is much cooler, but mild temperatures still range between 8°C and 17°C. Winter comes in December and brings rather cold weather conditions that may be accompanied by snow and rainfall. Although temperatures may fluctuate in different seasons, Barcelona remains suitable for visitors discovering this cosmopolitan city.

Groupon's Guide To Costa Brava

Also known as Spain's Wild Coast, Costa Brava offers visitors a mixture of old-world Catalonian charm, modern-day excitement and Mediterranean dining opportunities. With some of the finest Blue Flag beaches in Europe, water sports enthusiasts can make the most of sailing, swimming, diving, and jet-skiing opportunities.

Historic sights and museums are aplenty in the Costa Brava region, as well as the ancient Greek and Roman ruins which can be found outside the seaside town of L’Escala. A leisurely day out may be spent in the fortified hilltop town of Begur, where tourists may stroll along winding cobbled streets featuring Moorish and colonial townhouses, quaint bars and high-end boutiques. Just outside Cadaqués, in a converted fishermen's cottage, the Salvador Dali House Museum can be visited, while below the hilltop castle in Palafrugell, the Cap Roig Botanical Gardens allure with cascading terraces, cactus plants and coastal views.
