Travel Project

Seeing that I've always wanted to visit Spain, and specifically Barcelona, I made that

decision.

Average temperatures for the months of March and October.

I learned that the average temperature in Barcelona is 51.7 degrees Fahrenheit (10.9

degrees Celsius) in March and 63.4 degrees Fahrenheit (17.4 degrees Celsius) in October

(Barcelona Climate).

A hotel with a short description.

To stay in comfort throughout my trip, I decided on the Monument Hotel. The Monument

Hotel can be found on the bustling Passeig de Gracia in the heart of Barcelona. Most of

Barcelona's sights are within easy walking distance. Four of their restaurants have been

awarded Michelin stars, and their executive chef has earned a total of 12.

Two tourist spots or points of interest for a vacationer and short descriptions of each.

Obviously, La Sagrada Familia is the first place you need to go. A total of 135 years and

counting have passed during the building of La Sagrada Familia. It is also a major tourist

3

attraction in Spain. Placa de Catalunya will be the second attraction. Barcelona's central plaza,

Placa de Catalunya, was officially opened by King Alfonso XIII in 1927. It's five hectares in

size and serves as the boundary between Ciutat Vella and Eixample (Placa de Catalunya).

A restaurant for fine dining

I decided on Boca Grande as my fine dining establishment of choice. Tapas, or small

savory appetizers, take center stage, but they also offer an extensive beverage menu and

seafood specialties like octopus and mussels. Everyone, from A-listers to tourists, receives

five-star treatment (Boca Grande).

An "exciting fact" about your destination.

I learned that there were no beaches along the shore before 1922, when Barcelona held the

Olympic Games. The seaside was the alternative home to many different types of industry. The

coastline wasn't developed as a beach until 1922, when sand was sent in from Egypt (Sadler).

When completing my study, I found the page that gave me the typical temperatures

between March and October to be the most useful. The website not only provided me with

monthly rainfall and temperature averages, but also with the altitude above sea level at where

Barcelona is located. If I need to refer back to the weather at any point in the project, I can do

so with this information at hand.
