Barcelona in May feels like the city just exhaled. The sun lingers till nearly 9pm, bathing everything in golden light. Day temperatures hover between 20 and 24°C—perfect for long, lazy lunches that spill into slow, honey-colored evenings. Wisteria bursts from balconies in purple waves. Terraces fill with quiet joy—locals returning, tourists just beginning to arrive. You can still breathe in the Gothic Quarter. Still find a bench at Park Güell. The Mediterranean is cold, yes, but it doesn’t matter. People dive in anyway, chasing the first real thrill of summer. Everything begins to bloom, including you.
