Clothes for Parador of N Spain trip
Looking for suggestions for appropriate clothing for trip leaving Barcelona on Sept 19. Can shorts be worn? Is it cooler in the mountain areas???

As far as evenings, yes, many of the Paradors are quite lovely, but I did not think they necessitated a jacket for men. For instance, the one in Santiago de Compostela is very nice, but you have to remember that a number of pilgrims who have walked El Camino de Santiago are staying there (they are not all starving college students) and they haven't packed a dress jacket in their backpacks! My husband has been quite comfortable for the last few years on Tauck trips with a nice long sleeved woven shirt and dress pants. Yes, the Hotel Maria Cristina is fantastic (one of our favorites), and their dining room is quite elegant, but, again, there were many there in the type of dress I have just described. Ladies are fine with the usual dress slacks and tops. As you get closer, check the Accu weather forecast and that will give you a good idea of any weather patterns that may be developing.
