Lloret De Mar, Couple travel
Lloret isn’t a big town but it has everything for both soul satisfaction (beach, landscapes, calm pace) and nightlife/partying for those interested. After ~10 pm streets are packed with youth going places but you can avoid the crowds by climbing the hill and observing sea+stars

It was cool in Spain. The people are friendly, the architecture is beautiful, the food is delicious. but I didn't always feel safe in Barcelona, especially in Raval. The north of Spain is my dream, it's very beautiful and has a magnificent ocean. Octopuses in paprika should be tried by everyone

Well, the subway is incredible it’s really very easy to use worse a little expensive if you don’t know how it works when buying the tickets, in the center of Madrid there are many many tourists also scammers tried to rob me 3 times and they scammed me 1 time in the stores in the center so be careful there are also many policemen, the rest the food is delicious but if your suitcase breaks at the airport they won’t answer you you must write an email to the airline, I loved Madrid is beautiful it reminds me a lot of Bogota, it was incredible it’s a little expensive but if you are outside the center you can find better places to eat

This was my first solo trip :) Even though a lot of people would find Barcelona not so safe, i would say the quite opposite! I had the best experience meeting with the girls from the app as well. I stayed at „The Central Hotel“ Recommend!

Madrid
it’s very safe, only you have to be careful in the subway with your stuff because there are people that keep your things and you even saw them, there are very careful to steal your phone or your wallet
Posted: November 23, 2025Getxo
Getxo is absolutely safe to go. Especially the districts las arenas, Algorta and neguri. Romo is good as well. You can come home at night walking from the metro without being afraid. But always lock you bike, if possible, inside.
Posted: November 23, 2025Denia
Denia is a small town on the coast, just one hour by bus from Valencia. It has a huge port in it, so obviously a lot of rich pearls stay and live in denia. Because of that the safety level is high, “ocupas” are not active here and crime level is very low

Spain is decently safe as long as you stay aware and do not leave valuables in sight. In the bigger cities, beware of pickpockets. I have had a phone stolen during a large en event in the city of Valencia but in my smaller city in northern Valencian, I have never had problems.
Posted: November 20, 2025Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
The city is very safe and peaceful, a good place to live, the people are friendly and can help you if you run into trouble. I have been living here for 1 year and so far I haven't had any problems.
