Maybe I will try this next time I’m traveling.


I was just in BCN for about four nights with relatives. I stressed to them not to take anything with them they didn’t need. I can promise you they were distracted looking in every window shop, loaded with shopping bags, and otherwise being aloof.

Thankfully no issues. They did see one young girl crying to the cops because her backpack was stolen.

As others have said, always be vigilant, and be wary of anyone getting too close and/or being too friendly.
