safety etc of Barcelona?
The pickpocketing plague when I was there a few years ago was out of proportion. Speaking from personal experience, from what I've witnessed, and from numerous stories from fellow travelers (not from the internet).
This is not so to debate the virtues and shortcomings of Barcelona.
I feel obligated to warn anyone who plans to go there to be double, triple and quadruple careful about his personal belongings.
