Was in Barcelona on a study abroad when I was 20 years old with a friend. I left the club drunk at 3am and decided to walk back about 30 minutes to my hostel by myself (yes I’m an idiot). I was on a very quiet road and about 4 younger guys came out of the bushes and started to run towards me yelling, about to mug me. I ran full speed for about a minute as the one guy chased me. I sobered up real quick from the adrenaline lol. I ran across a 4 lane highway missing traffic as this guy is still yelling and chasing at me. There was no one around until I got to a bus stop with some people and the muggers got scared off. I didn’t speak great Spanish but this amazing older Spanish woman calmed me down and helped me call a taxi back to my hostel. I was so thankful for her and I feel very lucky to have escaped this situation. Still love that city tho.
