Fresh Airfare:

Barcelona has just been nominated #1 city in the world in which to be pick-pocketed!

Although our observations over the past 9 months have certainly led us to believe that the activity has certainly decreased from January's high levels. We don't see them standing on every street corner and in every metro station like we used to!

It's great that you had a crime-free visit to Barcelona - a lot of people don't. But then again, judging from their general lack of awareness and preparation against being robbed, it's almost like a lot of people are asking to be pick-pocketed.

Unfortunately, Bicing does have its vandals and abusers, but on the whole most residents are respectful of the bikes and thankful to have this service.
