I have friends who stayed by La Rambla in an apartment they rented, but the most sophisticated camera he had with him was an old yashica D so not much chance of theft there (I'm looking at one on RFF for a whopping $99 plus $20 shipping to canada, less than my last medium format film order was
)
Since we're off topic and the thread has taken more "friendly" terms
I was in Barcelona in 2005 with my elderly mom -
and was totally oblivious to the possibility of crime -
fortunately for us - we encountered no problems.
Here's my
album/slideShow of 83 photos all taken on kit lens**
as with most of my overseas travel these days - I did not take my SLR -
actually truth be told 2005 was before I owned my first dSLR
(although I still had more film SLRs than arms and legs)
- I merely had the
Canon S70 (digital) compact
with equiv 28-100 fixed "kit"** lens
.
The one significant discovery was a small Dali Museum across from the front of the Barcelona Cathedral (it's shown starting from shot #8 - that's the main Barcelona Cathedral - not to be confused with Gaudi's famous Sagrada Familia Cathedral which I also have shots of from #15) - although small it was actually pretty rich in Dali stuff.
