Candelaria, Family travel
I visited Tenerife with my family this summer and we chose Candelaria because of it's a very significant place for native people and much more relaxed than the very touristic areas. We really enjoyed the town, the Guanches, and the beach there. Also we were able to visit the North area, Anaga, Masca and Teide. Also some more southern places like Puertito de Adeje and La Tejita. Puerto de la Cruz and La Laguna were my favourite cities.

Had such a lovely time in Madrid! The weather was so peaceful and relaxing, with a little rain. Everyone was so kind, warm, and helpful. Even when we didn’t speak the same language, they still made an effort to understand us and help in any way they could. And I can’t leave without mentioning the food! Everything was so delicious, it made the whole experience even better ❤️

I went to Barcelona with my work as a small group during the day. All in all there was no safety concern except for pickpocketing that i Heard of. Personally, nothing happened to me but we always advised our travel groups to not have their phones or wallet inside their jeans-pockets and keep an eye on their bags.

Barcelona, Solo travel
I were in barcelona for 4 Days from 17.07 until 21.07. I had an amazing trip to Barcelona. The city was vibrant and full of life, with beautiful architecture around every corner, delicious food, and a fantastic atmosphere. I spent my days exploring the stunning sights, wandering through the charming streets, and taking in the local culture. Most importantly, I felt safe most of the time,(not everywhere )which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. It was a wonderful getaway that I...

Malaga, Solo travel
i spent an erasmus semester in malaga and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me! the city is beautiful, the people are kind (if u try to communicate in spanish) and u notice that life is not that serious. sipping tinto de verano is a must, aswell as having churros at tejeringos, getting dirty from the sand after a beach day at malagueta, taking a walk by the port, being hungover after a club night at brø, taste testing everything at atarazanas market (esp olives) and last but not...

Honestly, I loved it in Malaga there were a lot of activities that we could choose from, and we always found delicious food. The infrastructure was great and even though we didn’t choose an Airbnb right by the most popular beach, we did have a lot of supermarkets and stuff around us and even the smaller beach was awesome. The view over the city was a highlight, which I recommend doing I do recommend traveling there as a group or minimum two people, especially if you’re a woman not because we...

I went to Ibiza for a day to see a solar eclipse! It was wonderful to finally meet someone from the app and spend time together. The buses were convenient, offering both accessibility and Wi-Fi. We stayed in Es Canar, which seemed less expensive than other areas. For the solar eclipse, we went to Cala Vedella.

Is Spain safe for women?

Tafalla
Quite safe and calm, most of the time there's nothing really happening. Good for historical tours, maybe a few drinks at night but beware, there's some men that are likely to harras you near "Cuatro Esquinas"....

Alicante felt extremely safe, especially as a woman traveling alone. I regularly walked around the city by myself, including later at night, and never felt uncomfortable or unsafe. I even felt comfortable going for runs alone around 10:00 PM. The streets were generally well-lit and there were usually other people around, which made the city feel lively rather than deserted at night. Of course, normal precautions are always important when traveling solo, but personally, safety was never...

It is a very safe city. I have never had problems personally nor know any other girls that had. If you want to come, I’ll say it is very safe for everyone, girls included. Both at day and at night.

Madrid is a really safe city overall, but if you stay on the surroundings you have to take care at night. I don’t recommend taking the metro alone at night for safety. Also in the center there are pickpockets sometimes but is rare, just keep an eye on your stuff

Hi Ladies, overall Barcelona is safe. There are spots that are unfortunately a bit unsafe in El Raval even during the day. You can definitely walk through this area, but I would rather recommend rather other districts to visit that are much prettier. Just watch out for your bag and keep your phone in your bag and stay alert. You may see someone fleeing from a robbery, just keep cool and don't get scared. El Raval is special but not necessarily dangerous. It has some pretty places.
