Practical Information

In extremely populated areas such as Madrid or Barcelona, tourists should watch out for pickpockets.  Suggestions: Cling tightly to purses, carry purses with short straps so that it can be worn close to the body, attach a chain to a wallet, or keep a wallet in an inside pocket close to the chest.  Always leave passports in hotel rooms.

If you know Spanish and visit the country to improve your knowledge, you should be aware that in the autonomic regions like Cataluña, Galicia or País Vasco, they each have another language other than Spanish, but also you should know they all speak Spanish and are completely capable of understanding it and using it.
