Scams to watch for in Spain
- Pickpocketing and team distractionsThieves take wallets, phones or passports from pockets and bags. Some work in teams. One person distracts you while another steals. Barcelona has a particular warning about passport theft.
- Theft from rental vehiclesThieves steal luggage and valuables left in rental vehicles. Theft from these vehicles is reported as high.
- Fake police and staged directions requestsThieves pose as police and ask to see your passport, ID or wallet. They steal when you reveal your belongings. In one version, an accomplice first asks for directions, then fake police arrive to demand identification. This also occurs elsewhere in Spain.
