We understand that some of you might be concerned about traveling to Barcelona due to recent local protests. We're here to reassure you that the situation is under control, and there's no need to worry about your safety while visiting this incredible city.
On July 6th, there was an isolated anti-tourism demonstration involving around 2000 participants. This protest does not reflect the general sentiment of the people of Barcelona. Unfortunately, some videos circulated on social media showing demonstrators with water pistols bothering visitors on the terraces of Barceloneta. While this incident was unfortunate, it was a one-time event and does not represent the city's overall atmosphere.

You need to know that this was an Isolated Incident: The protest was a singular event. There are no more demonstrations planned.
Barcelona continues to be a safe and beautiful destination. The city authorities are vigilant, and your safety is their priority.
Barcelona is indeed busy, especially this year, but it’s not different from other bustling European cities. The vibrant atmosphere, cultural richness, and numerous attractions draw visitors from around the world, making it a lively and dynamic place to explore.
Barcelona remains a vibrant city full of life, culture, and attractions. The temporary protest should not deter you from enjoying everything this wonderful destination has to offer. Come and experience the magic of Barcelona without any worries!
Safe travels and enjoy your visit!

🌉✨ The Totally Spain team had a fun visit and lunch at the Puente Colgante in Portugalete! This UNESCO World Heritage site is a marvel of engineering and a stunning piece of history. Have you visited this incredible spot yet? 🇪🇸🧳

The Puente Colgante (Hanging bridge), also known as the Vizcaya Bridge, is a fascinating blend of tradition and innovation. Built between 1890 and 1893, it was designed by the architect Alberto de Palacio, a disciple of Gustave Eiffel. This transporter bridge was the first of its kind and remains one of the few still in operation today.

Spanning the Nervion River, the Puente Colgante connects the towns of Portugalete and Getxo. Its unique design allows for the transport of passengers and vehicles across the river via a suspended gondola, offering breathtaking views and a unique travel experience. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2006, it stands as a testament to the ingenuity of 19th-century industrial engineering and continues to be a beloved landmark in the Basque Country.
