Tinto de verano was the best drink i have ever had. I highly recommend to drink it instead of beer. Pastries are super delicious in general. Raval area can be sketchy at night. Public transportations are easy to use and fairly safe
Posted: July 25, 2025With Camino Frances, I refer to the part from Pamplona to Santiago de Compostela. I first had concerns about doing it by myself, but I was really surprised how safe I felt overall and very happy about having found the courage to do it. I went in March 2025. The first 7 days I travelled with my parents, then there were several days solo travel until I found a group of other pilgrims, and we became friends and travelled together. We split up in Leon, and I did the rest of the Camino by bike. There are two things I would recommend. Don't travel when it is dark. You might ending up with no accommodation if not booked before, and the dogs can get aggressive defending their territory if you have to pass them. Also, forests are creepy in the dark. The last day I was by bike and had to pass the last parts to get to Compostela and I was kind of scared because there was no light or people whatsoever.

Málaga is a small but pretty town. The beach and the port are really beautiful. The restaurants are really nice and people too. But It could get a little risky during the night. There are a lot of homeless and drunk people, so always be cautious and safe.

I went to Seville for the ACDC concert, so I was only there for a couple of days. It was very easy to get from the airport to the center of the city, a bit harder to find your way on the streets. Pretty hard actually. But it was okay, it's such a beautiful city so I've had to see much wandering around. I felt very safe. It was only at one point I was holding my bag extra hard, late at night in a small alley and I saw like 2-3 guys walking in the opposite direction as me, but I don't think they even looked at me. The concert was a big one, many people. It felt very safe to be there. And after there was a party outside the arena with lots of people. I met a few and all of them was just so nice and fun to party with. I would go back! I'm just sorry I didn't see more places in the city.

I lived in my boyfriends family’s house close to the ocean. It’s the nicest beach I’ve ever seen and swam in. There’s a lot of turist here, but that’s okay. I’ve been windsurfing a lot, and I can recommend to do some wind/water sports here! There’s a lot of good places, good teachers and a lot of wind. Haven’t felt unsafe a single time here

Barcelona is safe overwall, police is very responsive and watching the street often. You can get robbed and walking at night on la rambla can be sketchy, but otherwise it’s ok. Just beware of pickpocket because they are very smooth.

I’ve been here for over 8 months and so far have felt very safe! The pit pocketing thing is more important to be aware of when you’re in busy tourist areas. Keep an eye on your things and you’ll be fine.
