Looking for the perfect weekend activity in or around Barcelona this fall to enjoy together with your family? Search no more! In this extensive guide, we'll uncover unique locations in and around Barcelona that are at their most enchanting during the autumn season and make for a perfect day trip.
Fall in Barcelona offers cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, making it the perfect season to explore popular attractions like the Sagrada Família or Montjuïc Castle without enduring long lines. It's also the season when you can enjoy a pleasant, sunny walk through the city's parks without the summer heat. However if you'd like to get out of the city we recommend the following day trips:
Granja Aventura
Embark on a wild adventure at Granja d'Aventura Park. Discover exciting adventures, playful animals, and endless fun for the whole family. Your ticket includes farm experiences, adventure circuits, playful animals, and more surprises!
Until the beginning of November you'll step into a spooky wonderland and will be able to explore secret cemeteries, find magical surprises, and meet adorable witches and vampires. Plus, you can enjoy storytime under the Chestnut Tree and indulge in delicious chestnuts.
Mushroom Picking
Mushrooms are one of the most appreciated ingredients in Catalan cuisine, and October/November are the best months to forage them! Experience the thrill of mushroom picking, an activity both fun and educational for all ages. For more detailed locations you can check out the following guides: Culture Trip or Lugaris, or book a guided tour, for example with Aborigens.
Hike in Montcau and visit the Simanya Cave
Embark on a delightful adventure with your family in the heart of nature! Discover the enchanting Montcau, the second highest peak in the Sant Llorenç del Munt i de l'Obac Natural Park. This scenic 6km circular hike, reaching 1056m altitude, offers breathtaking views. Along the way, marvel at the wonders of Simanya cave, a true gem! Dive into its depths with a guided tour, easily arranged at the Coll d’Estenalles Information Centre.
Poble Espanyol
From 21 October to 12 November, the Poble Espanyol will become an enchanted place where families can solve mysterious quizzes during the weekends. Survive the Halloween experience by solving all the tests and enter the new Creepy Houses of the Poble Espanyol!
Hike in Park del Montnegre and discover the megalithic tomb, the dolmen
Discover the enchanting Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor, nestled just outside Barcelona and overlooking the sea. These majestic mountains serve as a natural boundary between El Maresme, Vallès, and La Selva regions. Follow the well-marked trail through the Ca l'Arenes dolmen; though it's a bit lengthy (around 10km), the journey is simplified by its clear signage. Along the way, marvel at the Can Bosc ice well, stunning rock formations, and historic granite quarries. Your adventure culminates at the breathtaking Sanctuary of the Corridor, offering panoramic views. For a shorter hike, consider detouring after passing the dolmen. Start at parking next to masía de Can Bosc
Cal Trilla
Experience the magic of harvest season at the Cal Trilla farm! Gather your loved ones and join them this October for a delightful day of pumpkin picking. Create cherished memories, and embrace the autumn spirit.
Garraf National Park
Nestled between Gavà and Begues lies a breathtaking stone arch, reminiscent of the natural wonders found in Utah's national parks. What makes this discovery even more delightful? The short, kid-friendly path leading to it is perfect for little explorers taking their first steps. Just a stone's throw from the 13th-century Bruguers hermitage, where you can conveniently park your car, the trail to the arch is clearly marked—identical to the route leading to the enchanting Eramprunyà Castle. While the path boasts a slight incline and is strewn with large stones, it only adds to the adventure for your young explorers.
Barcelona in the fall is a true treasure, and its magic is accentuated by the autumn aura. Check out our Family Calendar for more weekend events happening in Barcelona.
