Can you wear shorts in Spanish cathedral?

They will even keep you from going into churches if you are not attired appropriately. Loose dresses meet any entrance requirements, will not earn you stares, and will keep you cool under a hot sun. In Spain, wear a skirt or long pants when touring cathedrals and other religious sites. Definitely no shorts!

The Cathedral is a must-see, both inside and out... and don't forget the roof. Yes, included in the ticket, you can take a tiny lift to the roof and enjoy a close-up view of the Cathedral spires and the rooftops of Barcelona. Open for viewing from 10:00 am and I recommend going early to avoid crowds.
