Hello everyone! I will be in Madrid and Barcelona from August 14th to 19th. Is it safe? Are pickpockets particularly common? Is it safe for the 18th at 9:30 PM to attend the Flamenco performance at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, which ends at 11:00 PM? Thank you in advance ?

Aside from the occasional pickpocket, it's very safe. Barcelona is still bustling at midnight. You can see people eating and drinking everywhere.

I really did encounter a thief. There were three of them, two to separate my companions and one to take action. In the end, they failed. Remember to keep your bag in front.

We heard about it before going, so we paid more attention. In fact, it was too hot, so we usually went out at 6 or 7 in the afternoon and played until 11 or 12 at night, and we didn't encounter any problems.

It's not easy to say whether it's safe or not. You need to have a sense of security yourself. The public security in Madrid is very good. Don't leave your belongings unattended in the car.

I also met a pickpocket, but he didn't succeed in stealing from me. I was carrying a small backpack in front of me, and when we were waiting on the subway, we were looking at our phones. The pickpocket was squatting behind me and much lower than me, reaching out to open my bag. Be sure to pay attention. I saw someone getting robbed and calling the police near the main cathedral in Barcelona. The pickpocket looked like an Indian, so everyone should be careful!
