 Pickpockets are a problem Apr 16, 2008
Yes sadly, pickpockets are everywhere tourists and travellers go. Stories are plentful of how a traveller's experience of a city as beautiful as Barcelona are ruined by the sneak theif. I personally always wear a money belt or a pocket monster when I am out and about. If you take a bit of time to protect your valuables it is worth it. I have heard that it can take several months to get a stolen passport sorted (although thank goodness that has never happened to me!)
