I was taught an easy way to remember temps in C by a bartender in Pamplona.
0 is Ice
20 is Nice
30 is Yikes!
Haha! That's a good one!
😂😂😂
Will be in Barcelona at end of Sept. Thanks for all the helpful videos!@@PatrickGuideBarcelona
You’re very welcome! Enjoy
🥶🥵😂
THANKS FOR SHARING VERY INFORMATIVE👍🏿 Celsius calculation genius!
Well, I wouldn’t go that far, but it usually works! Thanks for watching
Another tip--there are water fountains and spouts all over town that have drinkable water!
one helpful tip re: adapters and such is that some of the hotels have outlets located in not the most convenient areas next to the bed. Therefore, those large universal travel adapters may not always be the best thing to rely on because they may not be as easy to plug in. You might be better off keeping some of the smaller Type F adapters with you.
Second not-so-boring tip is that you can easily utilize Apple or Google Pay in about more than 95% of the places in Barcelona (as someone who's visited in April can attest!).
You're right, cards can basically be used everywhere here.
It is important to note that adaptors that simply adapt the plug type are only appropriate for devices that work with the target voltage and frequency. Most modern electronics will work with 110-240V 50/60 Hz. But, it is important to check the ratings on the “wall wart” to be sure. Most items with a heating element and/or a motor (unless they are specifically dual-voltage “Travel” appliances) will only work at one voltage. In this case, you must use a voltage CONVERTER (a different, more expensive device) which will step the 220 down to 110 volts while generally the 50 Hz will be unchanged. Be aware that not all converters can handle the >1500 Watts drawn by many hair dryers and might overheat and burn out. So, check the ratings printed on all of the devices and converters and make sure you are not overloading anything. Also, you may find that your hairdryer will be “wimpy” compared to home use, as the 50 Hz will turn the AC fan more slowly.
TLDR: If it says 110-115V 60 Hz AC, you will need a voltage converter, not just an adapter, with a Current/Watts rating that is comfortably higher than the maximum current/Wattage listed on the appliance. If you get this wrong, you may get a very brief fireworks show that will let the ‘magic smoke’ out of your device. And all electronics stop working, when you let the magic smoke out.
Patrick, do you have any tips for using the Rodalies de Catalunya trains? I've easily been able to book all other train rides for my upcoming trip all over the country, but not these regional trains. I need to go from Barcelona to Santa Susanna around noon on Sept 20 and come back around noon on the 23rd. Their app and website are terrible, though they work a bit better in Castellano than in English. Do tickets need to be purchased onsite? I cannot figure out how to book ahead. I know that I need to take the R1 or RG1 lines...in some places it looks like trains run every half hour, in other places it looks like there might only be one late-night train per day. Help!
Great tips!
hi patrick thanks for your video . i just would like to know about the weather in november is it cooler already. thanks
Thank you. thank you as ever Patrick..grateful for your tips!!!
Thank you!!!
Patrick, those are really useful tips. They're not boring at all, at least for serious travelers like me
Appreciate that
Do you think a bank in the u.s will give you euros at a better rate then withdrawing it from atm once you arrive in spain?
I was wondering about cash and how much to bring. What should a tourist tip? Coming from Toronto, Canada, we're all pretty much credit card now for everything... Especially after COVID. (and everyone wants a tip for everything now).
Depending on how long you’re here. But as I said in the video you really don’t need a lot, everyone accepts card. Couple hundred just in case. Tip maybe 10% if you want, or round up the bill. It’s not like the States or Canada
I come from Australia.
20 degrees is cool
25 degrees is warm
30 degrees is 👌
35 degrees is hot
40 degrees is really hot. 🥵
Great tips though!!
Gonna be different in different places. Thanks!
@@PatrickGuideBarcelona for sure!! I’m coming in September and I am looking forward to it no matter the weather.
Do people not have access to the weather network app?? You can convert from degrees to Celsius with a flip of switch 😅
Weather apps change it, yes. I was thinking more on the lines if someone told you the weather. You can more or less know from the guidelines or do it in your head faster!
A fun thing as a swede and the temperature. We usually go to Barcelona in February. It is not uncommon that the tempereture is between 20-25 degrees. The locals use winterjackets and I am wearing a t-shirt. ;-)
Hopefully the anti tourism locals won't be harrasing visitors when we arrive in late October
i was just there around july 23-25 and saw no protests, nor experienced any harassment from anti-tourism people. we had a great time. enjoy your trip!
Im gonna live there for 4,5 months. After 5 days I have not seen anything anti-tourist.
But I have seen 2 thefts of handbags, so keep track of your things 😅
