Weather, Barcelona, Noia
There is no questioning that winter is now upon us and Noia is seeing the cooler climate along with rain and overcast days. You can check out the weather in Noia using this link: http://weather.weatherbug.co.uk/Spain/Noia-weather.html?zcode=z6286&lang_id=en-gb.
The next few days are none too exciting with cloud and rain, but next weekend sees a change with Sunday and Monday predicted as sunny but cool. As with everywhere else in the world, the weather forecasts there are never completely accurate.
A better place for the weather is to move to the south and around Spain to the seaside city of Barcelona. http://www.barcelonaweekendbreak.net/sightseeing.html will tell you about the out of season things to do there and even at this time of year Barcelona sees plenty of sun and some milder days. It is also a city that is rich in culture, so you can entertain yourself visiting museums, Gaudi’s buildings or any of the city’s fantastic parks.
Barcelona also has the best and most comprehensive tapas bars in Spain (possibly with the exception of the Basque region), so the eating experience is a varied and unique one. There are some excellent shopping areas in Barcelona in the old town, the main modern part of the city and around the marina.
A further footnote on the Ryanair’s Liverpool – Santiago flights for 2009.
After an even more extensive hunt using different search engines and every conceivable selection of related words, we have still been unable to find any English language statement to the effect that this route has been discontinued! We will simply have to wait for spring next year and see if this route appears on the Ryanair website.
