Safe Travel
Most visitors to Spain never feel remotely threatened, but a sufficient number have
unpleasant experiences to warrant an alert. The main thing to be wary of is petty
theft (which may of course not seem so petty if your passport, cash, travellers
cheques, credit card and camera go missing). What follows is intended as a strong
warning rather than alarmism. In other words, be careful but don't be paranoid.
