Luckily, violent crime is extremely rare in Spain and most visits from Brits go smoothly, but it is important to be aware of several dangers.
The UK government advises: “Thieves often work in teams of two or more and tend to target cash and passports.
“Don’t carry all your valuables in one place and remember to keep a photocopy or scanned copy of your passport in a safe place.”
The government also says personal attacks and sexual assaults are rare but can happen and are often perpetrated by other British nationals.
It said: ‘Buy your own drinks and keep an eye on them at all times to make sure they are not doped.’
