Things to Do in Barcelona in July
There should be quite a few warm and sunny days to enjoy in Barcelona this month, so chances are it will be an excellent time to consider a pay-what-you-want walking tour.
Since the weather will likely be nice, you might also want to head up the cable car to Parc de Montjuic for excellent views of the city.
If it's a particularly hot day, consider heading out on a cruise around Barcelona to feel the breeze across your face as you enjoy the view from the water.
Alternatively, you could also beat the heat by heading out after the sunset to see a live Flamenco show.
