Barcelona is a beautiful city, but I never felt safe there. I was always on the fence of being mugged, but that is because of stories i ve heard from both friends and locals. The scariest was to walk at night.

I felt really safe and at home.I mostly went to the beach and the food was fenomenal.We rented a car so we can go where we want at any time.The prices were average. Overall we had an excellent time there.
Posted: September 29, 2024I arrived by ferry in San Sebastian and I started hitchhiking. I felt safe and I met a lot of amazing and chill people living on the beaches in playa del Medio and chinguarime. At the end, I have lived around the island camping on in caves for 3 weeks and it was one of the best adventure I ever had!

A very positive experience. The landscape is spectacular and the food is very good. The people are very friendly. I traveled by van and met many travelers who were doing the same. There are many beautiful places to sleep.
Posted: September 21, 2024I felt safe especially during the day time. I would avoid old town and area around the railway station and parque extebarria when it’s dark. Also i would avoid big spanish people celebrations according the risk of terror attack

the good thing about Valencia, apart from visiting the city of science and the cathedral and various monuments in the historic center is that if you go down to the Turia, the large city park that used to be a river, you can practice an infinite number of sports and especially dance. there are lots of groups that offer various activities and Latin dances and more. the city is very safe but you always need to be a little careful. there are bars and restaurants on every corner to enjoy international food and the legendary paella. don't forget to take a nice trip to the beach, another place to practice sports and have a nice sunbath and swim.

I spent two months in Spain. I spent approximately 1500 euros per month but because I did volunteer work in Asturias (north) that gave you housing and food in exchange for work (if you are interested I would love to tell you about it). The food is delicious (ham, sobrasada, calamari sandwich, supermarket food, ice coffee) It is very safe, as long as you are careful with pickpockets. I got to know Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Cordoba and the entire north of Spain (I thought the part was wonderful and economical).

Barcelona was amazing! I travelled with my two other friends and we loved Barcelona. The food was the best!!! It was my first time trying Paella and I fell in love; I still cannot stop thinking about it until today. The tapas as well- everything was just up my alley. The vibes of the city, a little too crowded and touristy for my liking to be honest, but the liveliness and the food makes up for it. The attractions are interesting, especially La Pedrera-Casa Mila and Sagrada Familia (though it's always in-construction). I particularly loved Barceloneta beach. While my friends went to Camp Nou, I strolled the coast of Barceloneta and had the best time jamming to the live bands on the shore.
Posted: September 9, 2024Experienced: March, 2024An unspoiled medieval city, with orange tree lined streets, charm and beautiful nature. I stayed near the quartz towers, hired a bike... The city and the beach I did as 2 seperate holidays Would definatley go back

seville is faily safe, specially around the city centre. just need to be on the lookout at night and don’t walk about sketchy neighbourhoods. public transport is quite safe too, but might want to take an uber at night.

Never felt unsafe walking during the day! I don’t go out much after dark, but early morning it’s still very safe even if it’s dark. There may be some drunk people, but they won’t hurt you. Salamanca is a smaller city and everyone mostly keeps to themselves, or are tourists.
