Question

Answer 1

It depends how the people react to you. I know those men with hispanic blood(not all), you dont wanna know what's in their mind all the time. I too am a hispanic mix but I have a high respect for women.

Answer 2

First, try to learn the language, at least basic phrases so you are not completely helpless. Second, just follow basic travel tips and you will probably be fine. Try to travel with others in well lit places, walk confidently, be aware of your surroundings, carry a whistle, don't dress in impractical clothes (tight skirts and heels prevent running) or flaunt expensive jewelry, don't flash your hotel key or let strangers know where you are staying and for how long.

Answer 3

Depends on how ugly you is. But yes.

Answer 4

To be honest if you're not going down dark back streets in the middle of the night you'll be fine. Spain is hardly like some crazy lawless country. Just because you read that people get kidnapped in South America doesn't mean Spain is crazy like that too. Same as any place, don't do anything stupid and you'll be fine. In my experience UK is less safe than Spain.
