I was in Barcelona for two weeks with a friend, doing a Spanish language course. Barcelona is such a vibrant city, we loved being there for an extended time so we could really explore! We especially loved the gothic quarter, with all its narrow alleys and hidden shops.

Beautiful, charming, romantic city. Very safe, as a solo female traveller, I felt pretty comfortable walking alone at night. I recommend visiting these monuments both during the day and at night, it’s two completely different experiences. Musts places to visit in Sevilla : - La plaza de España 😍 Parque de Maria Luisa - Museo de bellas artes de Sevilla - Catedral de Sevilla + La Giralda - LAS SETAS!!! 🤩 (right before the sunset and at night) - a flamenco show (I suggest La Casa de la Guitarra), Sevilla is the birthplace of this traditional dance There’s so much to see and a whole week...

I went on a backpacking trip to Spain with my best friend for two weeks. We explored Barcelona, Valencia, Girona, and the surrounding region. We had an amazing time immersing ourselves in both Spanish and Catalan culture. We visited lots of museums and churches, and even went horseback riding in medieval villages—it was incredible! 🇪🇸

I walked the Camino: 700km from Lisbon to Santiago de compostela in 2025. An amazing and life changing adventure for me! I fell in love with Portugal and Spain - such a wonderful experience to explore two countries by walking, without using any buses or trains or whatever. Felt so natural and brought me back to my inner self. Highly recommended 🐚

Just be smart, if you are on your own don't get overly intoxicated etc. If you can, don't have too much cash on you. Barcelona is painted more scary than it is, but there are some levels of pickpockets.
Posted: February 8, 2026I've been living in Cuenca my whole life, it's a pretty safe city both at night and in the morning, nothing usually happens. It's a pretty quiet city, so life it's usually done in the morning. It's pretty well light, I would not normally go through the dark alleys in any city so, do the same in Cuenca.

Barcelona is safe, but there are many pickpockets in tourist areas like La Rambla. El Raval isn't very safe at night, although I wouldn't go there much during the day either. It's an area where it's easy to get robbed, but that's the worst that can happen. I recommend not wearing expensive watches, carrying wallets in plain sight, or leaving expensive cameras exposed and unprotected. Be careful on buses, trains, or in crowded areas; pickpockets are common there.
Posted: February 6, 2026It’s very safe in general, except just 2 neighborhoods very remarcables : “ el gancho ” y “ el Oliver ”. I don’t recommend to look for hostage in this areas. Apart of that Zaragoza is a medium size city with safe entertainment
Posted: February 1, 2026Cartagena is a very safe city for everything one. There are only a few places I wouldn't visit due to drug dealing and bands but they are very far from the center and in general I have always felt safe here. People are typically friendly when addressed but they tend to mind their own lives.

My greatest passion is travelling alone to open myself up completely to new realities, discovering new cultures, cuisines, customs and ways of life. I love life and I love it when the universe, with its magic, sends me incredible people on my travels. I am a very curious person who loves to learn, I love to take care of my planet as much as I can, I am a vegetarian and a dog mum. It will be a pleasure to welcome you to my little house by the sea if you enjoy nature walks, sunshine, good food, and conversations that can range from the most profound to the most absurd and fun. Looking forward to meeting beautiful souls ✨
