Ladies Clothing for Barcelona & Madrid in Mid-October

HI, All,

I'm needing some more concrete ideas for outfits for women visiting Barcelona & Madrid in mid October. The weather forecasts show the high temps to be approximately 70F with the low in the 50s. I'm thinking of sleeveless and short-sleeve tops with jeans and khaki pants and comfortable walking shoes, a long sleeve top or two, a light sweater and water resistant jacket, skirt or dress too. As I'm only packing two pairs of shows plus the pair I'll be wearing, does anyone know if the locals wear sandals in October? One of my recent emails from the tour suggests bringing a bathing suit and quick-dry towel, so I assume it will be warm during the days.

Any ideas are welcomed.

Thanks so much!

A Trip Savey article recommend lightweight long sleeved tops for the mild weather of October in Madrid and light jackets or sweaters for evenings. Closed toe shoes for walking on cobbled streets and climbling steps.

Thank you so much for the lightweight long sleeve top and close-toed shoe suggestions. I have a better idea of how to pack now.
