    There may not be fiery fall foliage, but Barcelona’s Ciutadela Park<\/a> 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<\/strong> as the sun casts long shadows and the perfect light allows for a memorable afternoon in the park.<\/p>\r\n

    Want to stock up on some goodies before you go? Make sure to stop by the beautiful Santa Caterina Market<\/a><\/strong> in the Born neighborhood.<\/p>\r\n
