Looking for things to do in Barcelona in the fall? It’s a wonderful time of year, with plenty of that gorgeous Mediterranean sunshine.

Forage for Mushrooms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most cherished parts of Catalan gastronomy are the many mushrooms that grow in these parts in the fall. Grab a basket, head to the forest and just make sure you pick the safe ones! There are organized excursions, festivals and of course, many special seasonal dishes honoring the glorious fungi. For more information, check out our full post on mushrooms in Barcelona and Catalonia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat Chestnuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Around October, expect to see dozens of chestnut-roasting stands start to pop up all over the city. It’s a cherished part of the castanyada.<\/em> This is a meal celebrated on All Saints Day, but of course, you can enjoy them throughout the fall and into the winter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a Picnic in the Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There may not be fiery fall foliage, but Barcelona’s Ciutadela Park is beautiful during the fall. Contrary to the warmer months of the year, it’s absolutely wonderful for soaking up a bit of vitamin D as the sun casts long shadows and the perfect light allows for a memorable afternoon in the park. Want to stock up on some goodies before you go? Make sure to stop by the beautiful Santa Caterina Market in the Born neighborhood. Can’t wait to see inside?
