💡 Travel Tips
💰 Buy a T-Casual card or Hola BCN! tourist card for unlimited metro/bus travel and skip-the-line museum access, saving 40-50% on transportation and major attractions.
📅 April-May and September-October offer perfect weather (20-25°C) with fewer crowds and lower prices than summer. December-February is budget-friendly but rainy, while July-August brings intense heat and peak tourist crowds.
🛂 Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa from the Spanish embassy in India (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, or Kolkata), which typically takes 4-6 weeks to process. You can apply online through the official Spanish visa portal and book your appointment at the nearest consulate.
