was very safe!!! I definitely recommend all of the food not a single thing you get could be bad. Just go look around at all of the chapels and everything that is there!! There are not too many activities but there are many tours and things to see just by exploring which is so great. The living here is very different but beautiful to see!

Itinerary Hong Kong -> Gran Garania -> Sevilla -> Granada -> Valencia -> Cuenca -> Madrid -> Dubai -> Hong Kong I felt safe in Spain because I could speak Spanish People are nice I lived in the hostel, so I met many new friends all over the world.
Posted: December 13, 2023I hiked the Camino Frances route across Spain this summer. It was a 550 miles trail from the French border to the Atlantic Ocean. I absolutely loved it! Every few miles there was an Albergue(cheap hostel) and centuries old village. You can embark the trail alone but never feel alone. If you are ever looking for a walk that is focused on self-reflection and spirituality set to a scenic Spanish country-side backdrop, this is for you.

Hey Girls, I did my first solo travel trip in Spain in October! The country was really beautiful and I felt safe at all times! The weather, the people, the architecture and the food was also great! I was first in Malaga and then in Sevilla, Valencia, Barcelona and Madrid! Every City was a blessing♥️🌏 I can highly recommend this country for solo travel, you will never be alone ♥️
Posted: November 2, 2023Experienced: September, 2023I traveled through Spain and visited Madrid, Seville, Cordoba, Granada, Toledo, Cadiz, Valencia and Barcelona. I would say that Barcelona was one of my favorite places, because I really enjoyed the opportunity to explore all of Gaudi's works. Seville was also amazing, I especially liked the Plaza de España there.
Posted: October 11, 2023For many years I travelled alone in Spain - in big cities and small towns, in villages, making solitary hikes and using public transport, I never encountered danger or even an unpleasant situation. Sometimes people approach, but never aggressively, they respect "no". Of course, I always follow common sense rules - I do not wander at night in suspicious places, I do not enter strange alleys etc.
Posted: October 8, 2023I travelled alone for the first time to Spain (Malaga, Granada and Madrid). I don't speak Spanish, but I noticed that most people speak English. Having Google Translate with offline translation to Spanish was nice, but I rarely felt it was even necessary. As for safety, I felt that Spain is very safe. I never felt in danger during my travels. Trains and buses in Spain are really cool. In Madrid, I stayed near the Plaza Mayor and felt that the location was perfect. I decided to stay in a hostel because I believe they are more sociable for solo travellers.
Posted: September 23, 2023I made my first solo trip last October to Spain. I visited Madrid, Barcelona, and Majorca. Almost everyone spoke English and I felt very safe the whole time for 10 days. I was walking around Madrid alone at 1 in the morning, eating ice cream and frankly, I felt safer doing it alone than I would ever feel in downtown Chicago, where I live, which really says something. I traveled by planes, trains, and taxis/Uber. It was a wonderful experience.
Posted: September 17, 2023I flew from Berlin to Madrid in search of the cheapest flight, which cost 250 euros, even though it had one layover. I arrived in Palma de Mallorca and had an 8-hour layover, which allowed me to visit the Cathedral in Palma de Mallorca. Then I arrived in Madrid and visited various places, such as Cibeles Square, Crystal Palace, Puerta de Alcalá, Retiro Park and Toledo Bridge. Using the OMIO app, I took a bus from Madrid to Barcelona at night, and the cost of travel there and back cost me 62 euros. I could sleep on the bus and saved two nights of accommodation. In Barcelona, I visited icons such as La Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, Park Güell, and the Barcelona Cathedral, among many others. Upon returning to Madrid, I finished sightseeing by visiting the Royal Palace in Madrid, Plaza Mayor, Debod Temple, Cibeles Square and other places. One day, I went to Toledo, which is beautiful, and I took the bus from Plaza Elíptica for the journey there and back, which only cost 10 euros. For accommodation, I used Airbnb, finding places in Madrid for 22 euros per night and in Barcelona for 28 euros. These were simple accommodations with the basics and centrally located. To get around both cities, I used a 10-trip card, which cost about 10 to 11 euros. It was a great option, and I downloaded maps to plan my trips, creating circuits with nearby places to see as much as possible.
Posted: September 3, 2023It depends on where you live or where you visit. In some parts though it’s better not to go alone at night as it’s not so safe. In the big cities there’s more people that steal. Besides everything I don’t think that it is the unsafest country you can visit and there’s a lot of nice people too
Posted: March 25, 2024Spain is safe, but I would avoid walking alone in big cities. Otherwise, I would say it is a country with good security, and female travelers can feel comfortable. The people are friendly and always willing to help.
