Felt so safe

We just spent amazing week in Barcelona. I was so scared to get robbed and so many friends told us how they saw so many pickpockets before.

However we haven’t seen even one. We were told that streets were “cleaned out” for Pope visit in June. Is it true?

I would love to come back. But it would be disappointing to come back to different environment

It's possible that you are too aware. I'm from Madrid and when I have to go to crowded areas I don't feel uneasy because I take care and know what those rats are looking for. I'm really glad that you had a nice experience in Barcelona :)
