ELOPE IN BARCELONA

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is located in the northeast of Spain. A fantastic location for history buffs, Barcelona has centuries of architecture to explore. In the Old Town, you’ll find the beating political and geographical heart of the city. Find ancient city walls, side-by-side with Gaudi architecture or Picasso artworks, and even the rediscovered pillars of the old Roman Forum. In addition to Barcelona’s stunning Gothic and modernist architecture, is the natural beauty of its stunning parks and gardens.

With its irresistible Mediterranean charm, elopements in Barcelona are like none other. We recommend having a photo shoot in the historical center, then escaping to one of the tranquil parks for an intimate ceremony. After exchanging your vows, we'll take you around the most special little spots: stroll the palm-filled promenades hand-in-hand, enjoy some amazing local ice cream, or sip sangria while admiring views of the city from scenic rooftop bars.

After a mesmerizing elopement in Barcelona, there are endless ways to celebrate your new marriage - from the stunning beaches of Costa Brava, perfect for a relaxing and intimate honeymoon, to the city's world-class cuisine, and buzzing nightlife, famous for its street parties and unique rooftops. Seek out hidden architectural gems like Gaudí’s grand Sagrada Familia, or lose yourselves in the cobblestone alleys of Born and the Barri Gòtic. Capture romantic photos of your beach elopement at sunset, then dance the night away to flamenco and salsa rhythms. Barcelona's perfect mix of lively culture, world-class cuisine, and unlimited coastal beauty make the perfect backdrop for a wedding elopement in Spain.

Barcelona’s summers are hot and dry, reaching a peak around July and August. The coldest months are January and February. But you really can travel to Barcelona any time of the year for your elopement. Nestled next to the sea, Barcelona enjoys a Mediterranean climate. That means autumn, spring, and winter can be wet, but temperatures are always nice and mild.

Every couple's elopement timeline is different, depending on the location, season and time of the day but generally speaking, the ceremony is usually around 20 minutes long and we will have to factor in the duration of the photoshoot. The whole experience usually lasts a total of 4 hours but we recommend keeping the whole day available in case plans unexpectedly change. 

The best outdoor lighting happens within the two hours around sunrise and sunset, so we usually recommend that the elopement ceremony is held around that time.

We will send you the schedule of your day around two weeks before your wedding elopement in Barcelona.

As a top leisure destination in Europe, Barcelona is very well connected to the rest of Spain, as well as the rest of the world. 

Once you are in the city, the best way to get around is by foot. Especially in the historical center, which is becoming increasingly pedestrian friendly. Otherwise, the metro and buses are easy to navigate and taxis are not expensive.
