Best regards, Blanka PD: Important (even if it can be difficult to admit this fact) – Beware of pickpockets and robbers: Beautiful and cosmopolitan, Barcelona is one of the most visited cities in the world, with low rates of crime and delinquency. However during the last months, rates of pick pocketing and robbery (suitcases, purses, wallets, laptops..) have surprisingly increased. We strongly recommend you to be vigilant. As soon as you arrive in Barcelona, please check on your belongings while you wait for your luggage or the Aerobus, train or taxicab. Beware that nobody is standing next to you while waiting or walking on the streets mainly downtown. The new fashion is that burglars tend to dress like tourists to delude real ones. Do avoid looking at maps while you walk down the streets, don't wear eye-catching jewellery or watches.
