What should I pack when moving to Barcelona?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Barcelona to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"The only thing I should have brought is my patience! Everything here (compared to the UK) seems to take forever, especially when it comes to business matters. There are queues everywhere and the Spanish seem to take it in their stride to stand around for hours just waiting - can be very stressful. I wish I'd left my espresso coffee maker behind as I have not used it since I arrived and always take my coffee out in a bar (Spanish style)," commented one expat who made the move to Barcelona, Spain.

"When moving to Barcelona, it is important to pack clothing suitable for the Mediterranean climate. Lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen are ideal for the hot summers. For the cooler months, pack a few warmer items such as sweaters and a coat. It is also important to bring comfortable shoes for walking around the city. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few items to make your new home feel more like home, such as pictures, books, and other decorations. Finally, don't forget to pack any necessary documents such as your passport, visa, and other important paperwork," remarked another expat in Barcelona, Spain.
