what to wear in barcelona by carnetdemode.com ========================== The Catalans care about their appearance and are generally not too casual, keeping it classic is the key. Light colors, summers dresses or skirts paired with sandals is the perfect look from day to night in summer. A BIG BAG TO CARRY YOUR ESSENTIALS (which should include a shawl for when it gets chilly) with a good strap and zipper should keep you safe from snatchers. The church is an integral part of Spanish life and wearing shorts or being scantily-dressed whilst visiting Barcelona’s cathedrals will not be appreciated, so save that (and your swimwear) for the beach! For walking the cobblestoned streets, get A COMFORTABLE PAIR OF FLAT SANDALS OR SHOES . Espadrilles are great, and you’ll notice that Spanish espadrilles (alpargatas) have a much lower platform. Finally, DON’T FORGET A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES and get a lovely Spanish fan; not only is it a stylish accessory, it’ll keep you cool in the summer heat! shop the BARCELONA LOOK on carnetdemode.com LUXURY LINK LIFESTYLE 31
