    y’all, pickpocketing is terrible in barcelona… be wary of your phone and belongings when sitting at restaurants and cafes, especially when random people come up to you to “talk” to you.. most likely a distraction to steal your phone…. also instead of uber, use cabify… similar concept for barcelona! perfect for coming home from the bars or getting to the airport!

I'm also very excited to see what kind of different Europe I'll encounter while traveling by AVE!

This has been so helpful to me. I want to come with my dog soon and it would be amazing if you made a video about dog friendly spots, beaches and other things. I have a friend who lives there and he said Barcelona is like London where they allow dogs on transport, in stores etc and I was so pleasantly surprised and happy - it's actually the main reason I am going to come there LOL Thanks again!

    Thanks for this - I will be in Barcelona late May. Have to say the biggest challenge for me is narrowing things down because there are just so many things happening. I have been pretty good at planning things without losing sight of what kind of things I want to get out of this trip. I am someone who doesn't want to rush things and take things slowly, but this Barcelona trip planning feels like a huge challenge due to FOMO creeping out.

    Barcelona is considered widely to have one of the highest rates of pickpocket and thieving incidents. I think I have seen stats to support this but as I can't find them, I'll say considered. The amount of theft is genuinely unbelievable I don't have any friends that have lived here for any amount of time that don't have multiple first hand stories. When "Safe" was stated, I was genuinely waiting for the punch line
