Is Barcelona a safe city?
Yes… Just don’t go round looking like a tourist (don’t look lost, don’t ostentatiously read a street map, keep your camera in your bag while you’re not using it, don’t wear Union Jack boxer shorts (or any kind of shorts if you’ve got snow white, pink or hideously hairy legs, for that matter), and Barcelona is one of the safest of European cities. Why, back Knutsford, in the UK, a two-year-old got attacked by a squirrel the other day! Now that’s something that wouldn’t happen here… Oh, yeah, and don’t even think about drugs. Barcelona has got one of Europe’s least luxurious jails.
