I felt very safe, but I was also always with my parents or my older sister. However, I never felt threatened by any man. I would definitely recommend Museo De Picasso in Malaga!! Absolutely beautiful. Regarding transportation I would say driving seemed the easiest mode.
Posted: April 24, 2025I got a very nice accommodation with an elderly woman, near the center. I enjoyed the sun, the very good food and the friendly atmosphere. Overall it was a marvelous experience, to walk through the streets, on the beach promenade, and meet new people everywhere.

My gf and I felt very safe as a lesbian couple traveling Barcelona. The local homosexual scene is very big and welcoming, we found some lesbian party completely by accident and had a wonderful time there. The food was amazing and prices were OK. Overall it was a wonderful experience. 🩷
Posted: April 21, 2025I visited Barcelona in July 2024 and had a great time. I felt safe throughout my stay. I went swimming and visited the stunning Sagrada Família, which is definitely worth seeing. Most of my time was spent shopping and exploring the vibrant streets. The summer weather was hot but perfect for enjoying the city. I stayed near Plaça de Catalunya, which made it easy to get around using the metro. I recommend checking out local markets like La Boqueria and grabbing some tapas. Overall, a fun and relaxed trip—I’d definitely go back!

Was solo traveling to Las Palmas in February- enjoyed it so much! ☀️ I felt safe during the day, okey during the night so long as I stayed in streets with people. The food was great! Would recommend visiting the botanical garden and renting a bike to see more of the city! the bus is really easy to use!

We didn’t expect the amount of male attention we received. Some was respectful but most was borderline harassive. Some men blocked our path and said they would keep the restaurant open after hours and give us free alcohol (we were all 17 and they were 40+). We did have an absolutely AMAZING time and met a French group of boys. We noticed when we were with them we weren’t being constantly approached. It was super fun but that was the only thing, we felt we had to get taxis everywhere.
Posted: April 17, 2025Overall I felt safe in the city. There were a lot if things to do and I must say I was never bored being there for a little more than a week. I really recommend going to the Sagrada Familia(buy your tickets in advance) and Park Güell (also buy your tickets in advance) We did find some good spots to eat wich dont really cost much. Bar Joan had really good tapas for low price. As transport we used the metro. I reccomend searching for a good plan of the tracks because at the metro itself it isn't always clear where to go.
Posted: April 16, 2025Experienced: March, 2025Spain was straight out of my ZNMD dreams – I finally ticked off skydiving and it was every bit as wild and freeing as I imagined! Stayed at a cozy beachside hotel, woke up to ocean views, and danced my heart out watching live flamenco under the stars. From tapas to sangrias, every meal was a flavor bomb, and the people? Warm, passionate, and always ready to fiesta. Spain wasn’t just a trip, it was a whole vibe – pure joy, freedom, and living my best life!

Traveled to Barcelona and Ibiza with my mom. The food was amazing everywhere, I especially enjoyed the paella. Barcelona was a bit overstimulating for me especially the metro stations, however, I really enjoyed the views and architecture, took many amazing shots there. Ibiza felt more laid back and free spirited which is why I liked it more. Went to a David Guetta Ushuaia concert for my birthday and really enjoyed it. I did feel safe in both cities but slightly less in Barcelona’s crowded spaces.

Public transport is good and cheap. Food is excellent but a bit expensive. The people are nice and to be honest you don’t need almost any Spanish, since everyone speaks English. I feel pretty safe, except for el Raval.

From my experience Murcia is pretty safe place to live or visit. I don’t think I ever felt somewhere uncomfortable or unsafe. However I believe that bad things can happen everywhere so sill be aware of it The biggest problem in Murcia is with your bikes, they are being stolen quite often

In the South of Spain, it’s very relaxed and everyone is friendly! I’m staying in a neighborhood with mostly British occupants and I feel perfectly safe walking around at night by myself. I wouldn’t say the same for Barcelona or Valencia though.
