Here is the testimony of a customer who has sent us her experience through our blog. We have added some photos.

"The story started out with an internship that I had to do in Barcelona. I had found a three month contract from April to June, and I had to prepare my luggage and my trip to this new city, which would be my new home. Looking for an apartment, changing your habits, leaving your family and friends behind, discovering a new city… all these things can sound very scary.

I took the plane, nervous about the days to come…  After three days of intensive research, and nights spent in hotels, I finally found an apartment with a rental agency: ComeToBarcelona. I moved into a flat near the gothic area, only 5 minutes away from my work place. A kitchen, bathroom, two rooms, and a large living room; clean, luminous and in the center of the city, I was thrilled!

I spent my days doing my internship in the morning, shopping, sun bathing and visiting in the evening and at the weekend. My first visits were to the Sagrada Familia and Montjuïc Park. Great places to relax and enjoy the scenery and the sea breeze during a hot summer´s day. My other visits included: The Guell Park, Barceloneta area, Montjuïc castle, the chocolate museum and many more!

I have discovered a cultural city and I won’t list the number of museums, architect houses, parks and concerts that I went to visit during my stay.

The Ramblas, and the Gothic area near my new apartment have become my living spaces. I went shopping in the famous Boqueria market as a real Catalan inhabitant (I don´t recommend you buy anything from the first shops which are real tourist swindles!). I went out at night at the Olimpic Port, ate  at “Tuccó” a little restaurant which offers you fresh pasta for less than 4 Euros in Escudellers blancs street! I went to cheer Spain on at Plaza de España for the World Cup Final, and now I have returned home with great memories and new friends…

On the whole, I realize that I have spent a great time in Barcelona. Even if I left my friends and family for a moment, it has been an entertaining trip which has made me discover the Spanish way of life. "

While traveling to another country is an exciting experience, there are many things a tourist needs to know before immersing themselves in the culture. Barcelona is a thrilling place to be year round, but like all major cities, one needs to know how to be safe, especially as a tourist. While there is very little violent crime in Barcelona, because it is a very touristy city pick pocketing is a common problem. However, preventing pick pocketing is easy; just follow these tips and you´ll be sure to enjoy your trip to Barcelona without having to deal with the annoyance of missing things. 

 Keep your belongings close.
Whether you´re taking a stroll down Las Ramblas or just a trip on the Metro, it´s extremely important to watch out for pickpockets. Keep your belongings, especially money and passports in a money belt or bag close to your body, and never walk around with a purse or bag wide open. When on the Metro, be ultra aware of your surroundings and keep an eye on your things, especially during rush hour. It is best to leave your most valuable things at your hotel or apartment and not to carry more money than you need in one day. Keep your camera in your bag rather than around your neck, and try not to carry a backpack unless you can keep it turned around so you are always aware of it.

Be a savy tourist, not an obvious one.
Nothing is a more obvious target to pickpockets than a tourist blindly walking around Barcelona looking at a map. While exploring the streets, try to be aware of your surroundings and duck into a café or restaurant when looking at a map. Also, be aware of pickpocket scams, and don´t let anyone distract you as they may be working in a group to take your money and belongings.  Even if you don´t know where you´re going, try to look like you do, bag snatchers love tourists that look completely distracted.

Conclusion
Don´t let our safety tips scare you away from coming to Barcelona, just by being aware of your surroundings you can avoid 99% of all petty theft. Barcelona is a great city to visit and knowing how to be a savvy tourist can make your trip that much more enjoyable.

Metro, that’s where most of the visitors are! We don´t suggest avoiding these lines, they lead to the best parts of the city, we just suggest being careful. Watch your belongings and be aware of any suspicious persons around you and don´t get distracted by a phone call, IPod or conversation on the train. While areas like the Ramblas, Parc Guell and Sagrada Familia are highly concentrated in most of the pick pocketing, there is little to no crime in the lesser known parts of the city but keep your guard up no matter what.
