I recommend go to Chueca, it’s a part of the center that is LGBT+ supportive and it has such a good vibe. I feel pretty safe bcs we stay the night at the center of the city, but I have a friend who live like 30 mins away of the center and she told me that when she has to go home after the university she don’t feel so safe she carry a special key-knife with her just in case
Posted: January 13, 2025Experienced: April, 2024My hostel was very social, almost too social for my first solo trip. I was happy to be on my own. During the day there were plenty of activities to do including a walking tour and walk through the park which is stunning. As a woman I did not feel safe at night, a few times I was cat called by men and this made me very uncomfortable.
Posted: January 9, 2025It was beautiful. I went to a town called Águilas and even though it looked somewhat old, the beach was amazing, the food was cheap and good and the vibe was just incredible. Highly recommend. Also the capital is great, it's a total different vibe to the town nonetheless.
Posted: January 8, 2025i went to madrid for a month in 2023 when i was in the city for school i felt pretty safe, expect for a few encounters with a local weirdo while i stayed with a relative, she told me a lot about the crimes in the area, but other than suuuuper loud neighbours i never felt like i had to worry i walked a lot and saw many beautiful buildings, shops and incredibly nice people the food was amazing and affordable. just like the public transport, i recommend the underground tickets for as long as you stay there and not the daily ones

I felt safe most of the my time in spain, the food was great but a lot with meat, in the south of spain there was also perfect weather for staying there in the winter, comparing to other countries like Germany :)
Posted: January 3, 2025Experienced: December, 2024It was a very nice trip ! In Autumn, it’s the end of the tourist season so there were not plenty of people but the weather was still excellent and the sea was really warm ! The locals are so friendly and welcoming and always volunteers to help us and gives us the best places to hang out !

Had a wonderful time in Barcelona! Art, food, people... everything was amazing. My artsy heart was fulfilled with all museums and such cool places. + : near Barcelona, try to go to Montserrat, it's is such an incredible place, clearly a must-see!

I lived my stay in Madrid! Even though it was only for 3 days. I got there by train from Barcelona, and i stayed in the heart of the city. It was very easy to get around, and i met a lot of interesting people. There are tons of pubs, bars and cafes that are really nice. I felt extremely safe even at night, but it is recommended you keep your items close to you in crowded touristy areas.

Spain
I’ve loved this country so so much that I moved here I’ve always felt very safe in Spain There are also many activities to do ( unlimited) I personally don’t like Spain’s traditional food but overall it’s good Spain is a very cheap place to travel to , I’ve stayed at a house with my family in the center of Malaga and it was very good and not that expensive We actually had a car when we were there but the public transportation system is highly recommended
Posted: December 24, 2024Seville is a great beautiful city full of old architecture, streets, green blooming parks, with singing birds 🦚🦜swans 🦢 , little turtles 🐢. Really I don’t remember much of the names of the famous places. Anyway you’ll like it all I dare. So I just enjoyed the surface, the Spanish 🇪🇸 vibe, Looking around and soaking all in with my favorite food 🥘 paella’s, drinking sangria the only thing that make you cooling in a hot 🔥 siesta time in summer. Sevilla is very hot, but as I told there’s a lot of parks to hide in a shade, of bars are always opened in a hottest hours. Something to see in Seville my recommendation is of course — flamenco 💃🏼. Hot charming passionate Spanish national dance. And just look 👀 around the city

Madrid is like almost all the other capitals: a busy city. We have people from all over the world living or just visiting all year round. I live on the suburbs and feel very safe even walking alone at night, I would say its very familiar (how can I be scared when there's an old lady walking her dog and a mom with its kids at night??). 100% the mainly thing you should worry about are the pick pockets, but at this point they are all over the turistic places (not just in Spain), just be aware of your belongings and you'll be just fine. Also, Madrid is veeery LGBT+ friendly (we have a whole neighborhood dedicated to celebrate the diversity), so thats very cool to :)
Posted: January 13, 2025Is pretty safe deppend of what part of the city are you, but at the center of the city you are safe meanwhile the day has light, at night it can be bit more dangerous. So I recommend to don’t go alone at night because of man you know they are no the safest thing in the world
