IV. Top Risk Drivers

• Torrential Rain and Flooding in Catalonia (high) — Torrential rain and flooding have caused fatalities in the Catalonia region surrounding Barcelona, prompting local travel restrictions. → Comply strictly with local weather advisories and official travel restrictions during heavy rain events.

• No travel insurance (medium) — Out-of-pocket costs after illness or theft can be significant. → Purchase coverage that includes medical, evacuation, and theft.
• Crime exposure (medium) — Pickpocketing and tourist-targeted scams are common in busy areas. → Use front-facing bags, avoid back-pocket wallets, plan ATM use in daylight.
• Personal preparation (low) — Preparedness can reduce the impact of small incidents. → Save emergency numbers, document copies, and a backup payment method.
