Barcelona is a city with much history, culture and life, but there is one really unattractive characteristic about it that you must always keep in mind. In general, it is important to be careful of pickpockets in Europe, but in Barcelona, Spain, one must take extra precaution because the Spanish pickpockets use their creative ways to gain possession of your belongings.
As one of the most-visited cities in the world, Barcelona overflows with tourists 365 days a year, and the pickpockets are well-aware of this. Although it can happen in almost any part of the city, there are certain places in which you must exhibit exceptional care, of which Las Ramblas is the most popular for pickpocket incidents.
Las Ramblas is the street that extends from Plaça Catalunya to the sea, and numerous smaller streets branch off from it. On Las Ramblas, you will find various vendors and kiosks that sell souvenirs, flowers, home-made goods, and even pet animals such as turtles, chicks or birds. It is a very busy street and there are always activities and attractions that draw tourists. The pickpockets of Barcelona know that this street is filled with plenty of distractions for tourists, and they do not hesitate to take advantage of this.
