Beware of the chains of American Coffee Shop which are springing up around Barcelona. They are targetted by theives and bag snatchers. I had my shoulder bag stolen from next to me in S***bucks on Passeig de Gracia, opposite La Pedrera!! There were warning signs up at the counter, but the theif managed it all the same :( Bag thieves know that American and British tourists feel safer going to familiar branded stores so will target them to get your camera/money etc. The Coffee Shop on Passeig de Gracia is immediately next to a subway for the metro, so theives can disappear quickly and be hard to follow! When I went to search for my bag, I found another two empty handbags in litter bins on Plaça de Catalunya!! It underlines how common thieving is.
