Not one of our better days.
Picked up the hire car after navigating to Sants Estacion. Headed out of town on the freeway getting used to driving on the RHS of the road and a very different set of car controls. Decided to pull in to get some petrol and re-check ourroute etc. when some dude decides to slash our tyre to create a distraction so he could rob one of us of handbag containing passport, credit cards, licence and some money.
Apart from the mental shock and card cancellation phone calls etc of all this we lost the rest of the day being taken back to Barcelona airport for a replacement vehicle as the tyre could not be repaired and completing a Police Report.
Worst of all we had no time left and had to drive straight through to our accommodation at Valencia and were not able to stop at Tarragona for any sightseeing.
This despicable person got maybe 60 or so Euros from us but could end up costing us over 500 Euros depending on how things go with insurance.
A hard lesson to learn as it all happened so quickly but beware of
anyone making out they are trying to be helpful and causing you to be distracted. First stop and secure yr valuables.
