My husband and I will be in Barcelona for 10 days as of Nov 21, 2008. I'm normally sensitive to cold weather, I'm from the San Francisco bay area. I like to wear corduroy pants during the months of November-Jan. What type of weather is it in Barcelona at this time of year? Should I take jeans as well? How dressed up or casual can I be in Barcelona? Is it necessary to take a light coat, heavy coat, gloves, etc?

Because Barcelona is same latitude as California, you will find the same weather. No coats or gloves needed. I have been there in October and November and dont remember any weather problems. Since B in on the coast the weather should be moderate. Women there do dress less casually.

Just because 2 country are at the same latitude I would not automatically assume it is the same weather. Frankfurt is the same as Nova Scotia and we sure don't have the same kind of weather. Italy is the same as New York and has quite different weather. We do have the lovely Gulf Stream that comes over and warms us up. If you really want to see what people have on, go to some live web cams in those cities. Check the weather forecasts online.
