Is Spain Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

I feel safe in Spain. I recommend the trip, especially to Barcelona, which is a beautiful city. I suggest visiting Barcelona for at least three days and booking your train tickets online. Madrid is also a beautiful and safe place to travel.

My experience in Madrid being hosted by a family through workaway. Amazing!! I didn't spend anything for sleeping and food, except when I was out to explore the city and for public transportation. The city is pretty safe for being a big city, just avoid bad areas. Food is great and there is so much to do, you can also just walk around the city, Madrid is very nice!

Family travel experience

was very safe!!! I definitely recommend all of the food not a single thing you get could be bad. Just go look around at all of the chapels and everything that is there!! There are not too many activities but there are many tours and things to see just by exploring which is so great. The living here is very different but beautiful to see!

I was first in Malaga and then in Sevilla, Valencia, Barcelona and Madrid! Every City was a blessing♥️🌏 I can highly recommend this country for solo travel, you will never be alone ♥️

Solo travel experience

For many years I travelled alone in Spain - in big cities and small towns, in villages, making solitary hikes and using public transport, I never encountered danger or even an unpleasant situation. Sometimes people approach, but never aggressively, they respect "no". Of course, I always follow common sense rules - I do not wander at night in suspicious places, I do not enter strange alleys etc.

I travelled alone for the first time to Spain (Malaga, Granada and Madrid). I don't speak Spanish, but I noticed that most people speak English. Having Google Translate with offline translation to Spanish was nice, but I rarely felt it was even necessary. As for safety, I felt that Spain is very safe. I never felt in danger during my travels. Trains and buses in Spain are really cool. In Madrid, I stayed near the Plaza Mayor and felt that the location was perfect. I decided to stay in a hostel because I believe they are more sociable for solo travellers.

Solo travel experience

I made my first solo trip last October to Spain. I visited Madrid, Barcelona, and Majorca. Almost everyone spoke English and I felt very safe the whole time for 10 days. I was walking around Madrid alone at 1 in the morning, eating ice cream and frankly, I felt safer doing it alone than I would ever feel in downtown Chicago, where I live, which really says something. I traveled by planes, trains, and taxis/Uber. It was a wonderful experience.

Solo travel experience

I made my first solo trip to Andalusia, in Spain. I stayed there for 10 days: 3 days in Seville, 1 day in Cordoba, 3 days in Granada and 3 days in Malaga. I felt safe all the time and there was always something interesting to do, so I never felt lonely or bored.

Violent crime is rare. However, there are a lot of pickpocketing and bag snatching especially in popular tourist places. So you need pay an attention on that and be careful with your properties especially in Barcelona and Madrid.

I had a good time in Spain. They have everything very well controlled and safe. I have felt very calm at all times, I was able to walk at night without problems. Nightlife is very busy and in the months I lived I never had any problems.

Family travel experience

The experience has been enriching. I traveled with my 20-year-old daughter Analía through the south of Spain and explored a bit of Europe. The cost of the places depends on what you want to eat or your budget. Granada has a peculiarity where with a drink, you get a tapa. The people are friendly. We stayed with hosts or in hostels. The transportation system is good and safe; from my point of view, it's not necessary to buy everything in advance. In our case, we wandered without a strict plan, arriving in Madrid and visiting various places without rushing. We are from Costa Rica and we enjoy meeting people and having good conversations.
