Lows around 46°F. Goes under the shell when the wind picks up.

Wind at 20 km/h chills the air below the 46°F low, so a beanie keeps your head warm.

UV index of 5.7 in March sun still burns exposed skin even on cool days.

Glare off the Mediterranean and 11.9 hours of daylight make polarized lenses worth wearing.

Check ankles and, if there's a dog, paws and ears every night.

This country runs on Type C or F. Get one with USB-C so you're not fighting over the single outlet.

Daylight lasts only 11.9 hours, so a power bank extends your phone's battery through evening.

Set it up before you land. Signal drops for long stretches outside cities.

For the passport, the chargers, and the one dry pair of socks.

Coastal wind cuts through a t-shirt fast.

For temples, mosques, and churches that check at the door.

Tap water is safe here, so a reusable bottle saves money and plastic waste.

One brick charges the laptop, phone, and camera.

Hotel and cafe wifi is shared with everyone else in the building. A VPN keeps your banking and email to yourself.

Packing cubes organize clothes into outfits for 11 days, saving time each morning.

Eight rainy days mean laundry dries slowly indoors, so detergent lets you wash clothes frequently.

Lows around 46°F. One blanket that packs small covers the car, the campsite and the beach at sunset.

Noise from the city and roommates disrupts rest, so noise-cancelling headphones help you sleep.

Mornings drop to 46°F while afternoons reach 61°F, so a packable vest layers easily between temperatures.

A cap shields your face from the March sun when you're walking the streets for hours.

Urban Barcelona has high-touch surfaces everywhere, so sanitizer keeps your hands clean between washes.

One outlet at the guesthouse charges three devices at once.

A few phrases go a long way. Ten minutes a day before you leave is plenty.

International travel requires your passport on hand, so a holder keeps it organized and protected.

Shared hostel lockers need your own lock to prevent theft from other guests.
