- Tourists in Barcelona are relishing their final days using gas-powered patio heaters before a ban takes effect on January 1, 2025.
- The ban is a response to carbon emissions associated with these heaters, part of broader climate initiatives.
- Although introduced in 2018, the city council implemented a gradual phase-out to help the hospitality sector adapt.
- From Nov. 1 to April 30, only electric heaters with a lower capacity will be allowed.
- Similar bans are observed in other locations, like France, where outdoor heating is prohibited due to environmental concerns.
