Is Spain Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Spain

Violent crime is rare. However, there are a lot of pickpocketing and bag snatching especially in popular tourist places. So you need pay an attention on that and be careful with your properties especially in Barcelona and Madrid.

I had a good time in Spain. They have everything very well controlled and safe. I have felt very calm at all times, I was able to walk at night without problems. Nightlife is very busy and in the months I lived I never had any problems.

It depends on where you live or where you visit. In some parts though it’s better not to go alone at night as it’s not so safe. In the big cities there’s more people that steal. Besides everything I don’t think that it is the unsafest country you can visit and there’s a lot of nice people too

Spain is safe, but I would avoid walking alone in big cities. Otherwise, I would say it is a country with good security, and female travelers can feel comfortable. The people are friendly and always willing to help.

Solo travel experience

I feel safe in Spain. I recommend the trip, especially to Barcelona, which is a beautiful city. I suggest visiting Barcelona for at least three days and booking your train tickets online. Madrid is also a beautiful and safe place to travel.

Solo travel experience

My experience in Madrid being hosted by a family through workaway. Amazing!! I didn't spend anything for sleeping and food, except when I was out to explore the city and for public transportation. The city is pretty safe for being a big city, just avoid bad areas. Food is great and there is so much to do, you can also just walk around the city, Madrid is very nice!

Family travel experience

The experience has been enriching. I traveled with my 20-year-old daughter Analía through the south of Spain and explored a bit of Europe. The cost of the places depends on what you want to eat or your budget. Granada has a peculiarity where with a drink, you get a tapa. The people are friendly. We stayed with hosts or in hostels. The transportation system is good and safe; from my point of view, it's not necessary to buy everything in advance. In our case, we wandered without a strict plan, arriving in Madrid and visiting various places without rushing. We are from Costa Rica and we enjoy meeting people and having good conversations.
