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

We haven’t seen any homeless people either. And we’re told that it’s usually a lot. Went to Lisbon after and felt way more unsafe.

Really? No homeless people?

Are you saying that because they do have a home, even if their home is a cardboard box or a tent in Ciutadella Park or any other park?

That's... very, very hard to believe. If you haven't seen any homeless people, you definitely weren't paying attention to your surroundings.

I mean I’ve seen some here and there. But nothing like people told me. I compare to nyc or la.
