What to Wear

Average daytime temperatures in Barcelona in May time range from 20ºC-22ºC (68-72ºF). This makes the weather typically spring-like to early-summer, ideal for city walks, architectural visits, and outdoor lunches—warm, but usually not as hot as mid-summer.

Casual dress with light layers is recommended for tours. All tours are rain or shine. Please check the forecast before you travel and bring an umbrella and waterproof jacket if rain is in the forecast. The welcome reception is casual.

Shoes

At the tours, comfortable flat-soled walking shoes are advised (at some houses even required); those in heels, please bring flat shoes or socks to wear in the houses. Also, please be advised that some sites have uneven, sloping or gravel terrain, and walking is required for short distances. Shoe covers will be provided and required at several sites.

Accessibility 

While we strive to make our tours accessible to all, please be advised that tour sites may not be able to accommodate all visitors.

Photo Policy

Exterior photography is permitted at all tour sites unless otherwise stated during the tour, provided it does not interfere with the tour schedule and is for private, non-commercial use only. Staff will advise when interior photography is permitted. Failure to abide by these policies may affect future access to private sites and the Iconic Houses Foundation's ability to interact productively with the owners. Thank you for your cooperation.

Policies

Iconic Houses tours cannot accommodate children under the age of 16. No pets are allowed at any of the conference sessions, afternoon tours or evening events. No smoking is allowed on tours or at evening events.

Schedule  

Please be aware that each day program starts at its scheduled time. Buses will not be delayed waiting for latecomers. Please respect your fellow conference attendees by arriving on time for bus departures, and by following the instructions of bus staff and tour docents who must maintain a strict schedule.

Transportation                                                                                               

Join us for the Friday morning tour, starting at La Pedrera and Casa Amatller. Please arrive there on your own. (Details may change, so be sure to review the instructions we’ll send you a week before the start.) Both Saturday and Sunday tour days depart from a pick-up spot at the central location (later to be announced). Buses will transport attendees from there to the tour locations. No private vehicles are allowed at the house locations; those attending must use the vans. Guests who choose to stay at alternate locations will be responsible for securing their own transportation to pick-up spot at the central location.
