I've lived here my hole life snd never expirienced any kind of unsafe situation. As everywhere being a woman makes you be more alert about any kind of danger, but personally I believe it is a quite safe country for everyone.

I did a vantrip in Basque Country with my boyfriend and 2 friends in october next year and it was one of my favorite short trip ! We felt safe and it was very calm, only surrounded by locals! The weather was very lovely and we even went for a plunge in the ocean 🌊
