Security
Spain is a safe country, but the usual preventive and precautionary measures in European countries should nevertheless be adopted.
You should be aware of the possibility of theft or theft in cities and major urban agglomerations (in particular in historical and tourist-intensive areas), as well as in areas likely to be crowded, such as restaurants, shopping centers and public transport. As a precautionary measure, it is recommended that you do not carry too much money with you and, where possible, leave your identity or travel documents in a safe place (for example, in the hotel safe), replacing them with a stamped photocopy in the hotel itself.
