Holiday Safety
Whilst most holidays in Spain are hassle free it is important to remember that, like all countries, there is a risk of pickpockets, etc. By taking a few sensible precautions you can ensure that you have a stress free, enjoyable vacation.
- Street "scams" (such as "find the lady" and flower girls ) are common throughout major Spanish tourist areas. Avoid being roped in.
- Don't leave valuables unattended on the beach.
