November invites you to savour Barcelona at a different pace: markets filled with seasonal produce, tables that embrace the most comforting Catalan cuisine, and glasses raised to the vineyards surrounding the city. Here are ten curated, close-to-home and deeply enjoyable experiences to live the month through your senses.
1.Celebrate the “vi novell”
Catalonia’s young wine is released around Saint Martin’s Day (11 November) and marks the start of the season. Toast it in the city’s bars and wine cellars, or join tastings dedicated to this tradition. More about Vi Novell (INCAVI).
2.Get lost among the stalls of La Boqueria
A timeless classic: mushrooms, pumpkins, late citrus fruits and fresh fish fill Barcelona’s most iconic market. Perfect for shopping and then cooking—or tasting right there.
3.A different market experience at the Mercat de Santa Caterina
Calmer and strongly focused on local produce, it’s ideal for a conscious, flavourful autumn purchase.
4.Catalan tradition at Can Culleretes
The city’s oldest restaurant still delights with stews, cannelloni and comforting recipes for cooler days. Book and take your time.
5.Seasonal cuisine with a contemporary twist at Fismuler Barcelona
Product, technique and a warm atmosphere for menus that evolve with the calendar. Perfect for a November dinner.
6.An exquisite glass at La Vinya del Senyor
A reference wine bar for discovering wines by the glass (rotating every two weeks) and an extensive list of labels.
7.Vermouth o’clock at Morro Fi
Anchovies, olives and a soda siphon at the bar: the most Barcelonian ritual, perfect for autumn afternoons.
8.Wine escape to the Penedès
Just a short trip from Barcelona: vineyards, cellars and wineries offering tours and tastings among rolling vines.
9.Modernist architecture and bubbles at Codorníu
An icon of cava production, with underground cellar tours, a little train, history and a final tasting.
10. Discover “Barcelona-made” wine at Can Calopa – L’Olivera
The farmhouse in Collserola preserves the city’s last productive vineyard: visit, tasting and social project in a beautiful setting.
Barcelona is best savoured slowly—just like it’s lived: with attention, curiosity and passion for detail.
At Valords, we believe every experience—a glass of wine, a conversation, a view from a terrace—is part of what it means to enjoy this city.
