Cruise Passenger Safety in Barcelona

Good medical care is available in Spain. Regulations regarding medications may vary from those in the United States. Check with your insurance carrier to assure you have coverage out of country. While most of Spain has a moderate rate of crime and most of the estimated one million U.S. citizen tourists have trouble-free visits to Spain each year, street crimes against tourists occur in the principal tourist areas. As a matter of personal safety, it is advisable that you travel in groups, or go to places where there are large crowds of tourists when you are in Barcelona.
