 === What weather should I expect? ===
 Autumn is a very good time to visit Barcelona. Temperatures are more comfortable and the crowds are smaller. October has average temperatures of around 17 ºC. This means daytime temperatures will often be in the low 20s, yet a light jacket may be required in the evening and early morning. September through to December is the wettest time of the year in Barcelona and heavy downpours occur so you might want to bring an umbrella :)
