Follow the advice of police and local authorities. While most demonstrations are peaceful, there is a risk of unrest or violence. If your passport is lost or stolen, you must renew your passport or apply for an emergency travel document. You cannot use a police report to leave Spain. Be alert to the risk of street crime. Thieves use distraction techniques and often work in teams.
