That gets more difficult in SE Asia where being european and over 5'6" makes you stand out a chuffing mile, epsecially in places like Vietnam!
One big no-no, everywhere, which is surprisingly easy to forget about, is not to put your phone on a table, anywhere. Wrap your bag strap round your leg, or chair leg when you sit down, and tie you jacket onto your chair too, if you have one.
and above all, just go to Barcelona and enjoy it, its an amazing place. Get down to the beach too, its throbbing after work and at the weekends, brilliant place.
Re: Barcelona. Lovely place as long as you're careful. Well safer than London IME though.
Just to counter all the bad vibes - my wife left her purse in a cafe, the owner found it and kept it safe for 3hrs until we collected it.

I used to go up your way, not as far though, to play innebandy with some Swedes in a Swedish school. Bizarrely, I found a proper innebandy stick in El Corte Ingles.

Its all fine tbh, don't know why people get all twitchy about it. Its a city, same as any other in terms of crime and that.
@Evilmags - last few times I've been to Madrid (work) we ended up drinking and eating around Calle Barcelona - I liked it round there, buzzing and cheap too. Ended up in some bar, may have been called something like Pompeii, but it was full of orgy paintings and other baccanalia, good place.
Around Mercado de San Miguel is nice too, not as colourful as the above though.
Think I was there 4 times last year and each time we stayed in an apartment on Calle de la Montera which is, err, hilarious. And eventful place shall we say. Found a superb beer place - Fabrica, not far from there. They brew their own beer on the premesis. Good tackle. I tucked into what I thought were nibbles on a plate at the bar. Thought thye tasted a bit rank, and my mate (who is a qualified brewer) was laughing himself sick at my face: what I thought were a nice savoury snack, where in fact dried hop pellets. Not that tasty.
You can have any beer, as long as it's blonde or black.

I'll probably go to Germany/Austria again instead
