Caught an older woman at Las Ramblas who looked as if she’d just stepped out of a Channel catalogue trying to slip her hand into my wife’s bag. Don’t be fooled by appearances.
Paradise - lived here 7 years and love it . Most tourists stay near La Rambla (tourist trap - worst part of the city) and judge the city from that. But still mainly good vibes there.
Great advice Kevin Though we think this is a beautiful city you have to be aware of your belongings as in any city in Europe You should have done a hop on/off bus tour as it’s a great way to see & learn about the architecture & areas x👍👍
Beautiful city but virtually everyone has had or knows people who've been there and had problems with thieves. Someone i know was there with her friends and a gang of lads ran at them and dragged their bags off their shoulders. Having said that, it hasn't stopped me from visiting as it's worth it, lovely city.
My favourite city, famous for the unique amazing Guidi buildings, cathedral and park you have to see. The market near the Ramblas is a must.🐟 The Gothic quarter, the English store, 🚠 and so much more
We where pick pocketed in Barcelona was distracted in McDonald’s my husbands wallet taken out of is pocket and i was stood behind him☹️went to the police station loads of people reporting thefts have to be honest spoil our holiday x
I have a friend there that l visit, so been umpteen times & never had a problem. But l've seen loads.....l don't wear a watch, don't carry a wallet & just have enough cash for my needs. Everybody knows the problem, if you want to make yourself a target then that's up to you, l am of no interest to a thief. Crimes are assessed on a financial loss, so petty crime pretty much doesn't count, the shark goes where the fishes are...
Kevin, get yourself down La Rambla to port area, along to Brecoleta beach and to Ciutadella Park for a few videos. Also, the Plaza Espana with the Las Arenas Bullring shopping centre. You can walk up the Avenida del Paral Lel from the front 👍
Maybe someit to add to your vids, say about the tourist spots, eg cathedredals, boating ports, museums, great watching you johanne from pollock glasgow x
Went there in 1986 , the old man was pickpocketed by thieves masquerading as Nuns of all things . Handing out flowers , he chased the woman up the street and caught her, handed her in to the police who let her go .
Also was in salou at the fuertaventura park went to take a picture of ma mrs n wee girl at th waterfsll 3 wee guys standing aboot offering to take of you and your familly ...not a chance a said 😅😅
Went to blanes with stmarys boys club back in 96 and it was horrendous wee guys way machetes stealing your caps 3 of the boys nearly got trampled to death by a mob of a hundred cahsing them we where only under 12s ffs horrible bastards
Thanks for Watching !

I am so jealous Kevin. I love Barcelona. Yes, you do have to watch your stuff. But it's still an amazing place! Wish I was there!

Yes you’ve definitely got to have your wits about you. Not a relaxing city but definitely one to see. Thanks Kevin.
Only visited once and that was enough Kevin thanks for sharing 👍 ❤❤
I don't put my phone on the table, it stays in my pocket, and I talk to my friends-rare I know!
Kevin, it's a beautiful city . Go off to the side streets lots to see.
Lots of pick pockets, be careful
My gold chain was snatched the last time I walked Las Ramblas during the day
oh no

Oh no sorry to hear that
One day I'll get to go here. Shame I didn't on my Salou trip.
Been in the city off Las Ramblas twice. Loved it. La Fonda was a brilliant restaurant at the bottom Inthe theatre area.😊

Yes beautiful but many many thieves been once won't go back.
it's dirty and filthy not beautiful, not sure which parts you went to..!
Maybe someit to add to your vids, say about the tourist spots, eg cathedredals, boating ports, museums, great watching you johanne from pollock glasgow x
Barcelona is a beltin city but like you said it’s huge 👍
Looks beautiful just be careful kev 👍
Cheers for the great video.
The sightseeing buses have 2 routes Kevin the red route seems to be the busier of the two from past experience
Nice location again. Are you visiting LLoret de mar and Blanes also?
Wonder if it would be cheaper staying in the areas near the airport and get the bus into the city 🤔
Went there in 1986 , the old man was pickpocketed by thieves masquerading as
Nuns of all things . Handing out flowers , he chased the woman up the street and caught her, handed her in to the police who let her go .
Shocking
Watch out Kevin. There been demonstrations against tourists
Wow busy Kevin
plus they hate tourists big protest last week
Amazing, we are safe in Alicante
'Such a wonderful horizon' someone sung. If anyone goes near your possessions just talk in your broadest, they should give up 😂. Enjoy your vids Kev.😊
Lol thanks
Me and my partner didn't enjoy Barcelona to busy to noisy and rude people give me salou anytime
Hi Kevin, which resort for u done the best chicken curry? 😋
Hi Kevin Barcelona is OK for a day trip too crowded for me and you have to have eyes in the back of your head it's puts me off😮
Crikey. All I see is beautiful women walking around in the video! Wow!
Good one Kev, football stadium worth a tour, Barcelona over rated city me thinks,,,
beware of the guys with tshirts and watches they pull a bag string and do a runner
Look at the crap all over the floor , maybe they could get prosecuted pick pockets on litter duty . Shocking .
the famous market is pickpocket square if you want tapas. little tricksters play on people
Hotel suggestion?? Hotel Fornos is reasonable
I’ve been twice, just keep your wits about you, like any big city really.
Barcelona and Madrid are known as pick pocket central aren't they? Read so many stories.
East europeansxand moroccons are Robbins tourists there.
Also was in salou at the fuertaventura park went to take a picture of ma mrs n wee girl at th waterfsll 3 wee guys standing aboot offering to take of you and your familly ...not a chance a said 😅😅
Watch your back there, bud, guy with a beard following you around. Not sure if you clocked him..
...think he was from Motherwell... Lol
*Barceloneta Beach
Barca not my city it rough, crime ridden and large parts are well filthy..outside of the beach and port area it looks 3rd world.
Went to blanes with stmarys boys club back in 96 and it was horrendous wee guys way machetes stealing your caps 3 of the boys nearly got trampled to death by a mob of a hundred cahsing them we where only under 12s ffs horrible bastards
🔫🔫🔫🔫😂

Cities are not a holiday place
If ye can handle Glasgow,ye can handle anywhere.Get real gay Barca...
Lol
