Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in TW as well as at Barcelona, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in July; quietest from November to January.

The year in Barcelona

No specific climate data is available; consider visiting during shoulder periods for better rates and fewer crowds.

Busiest
early Jun to late Aug — Warm weather and numerous festivals attract the highest number of tourists.
Quieter, still good
early Apr to late May — Mild weather and spring events make it a great time to visit with fewer crowds.
early Sep to late Oct — Pleasant temperatures and reduced tourist numbers post-summer.

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
