Default Re: Barcelona crime rate?

As a tourist they'll probably have to deal with petty theft, if anything. Not too big of a deal. Tell your family members not to carry too much cash in their wallets/purses. Don't be flashy with any valuable items. I've heard of basically burying the wallet or cash in places that make it difficult for them not to notice it's being stolen. Maybe a plastic or something loud like it.

Theives seem to have a sixth sense about tourists and can spot them anywhere. An advice: don't behave as the typical one. Doing this can make the trip that much more smoother.

Being female, you'll also want to encourage them to ride a taxi at night. Walking in the dark or unlit areas are definitely higher risk for them.
