Like any big city, be mindful of your surroundings and take usual safety precautions. Stick to well-lit and populated areas, especially at night.

Avoid roaming charges:

Now that you are planning on traveling to Barcelona and want to stay in touch with your family and friends, or need to stay connected on your business trip, how do you avoid excessive roaming fees? Ever considered an eSIM? Download the RedBull Mobile Data App to avoid expensive fees.

Here are some tips on how to avoid expensive fees with eSIM for traveling:
