Overcome the crowds
One of the best things about Barcelona in the winter is that it is less crowded than it is in the summer.
The long lines disappear, tables are available in restaurants, and there are spaces for roaming without crowding.
The mushroom season
As soon as the weather gets colder at the end of autumn, market stalls in Barcelona start selling wild mushrooms, and local varieties such as rovellons are more in demand after them, and are represented by well-known species like ceps and chanterelles.
