Should I leave my Rolex at home? I'm touring Spain and Portugal for 3 weeks. I never take it off put I don't want to be a target.

I certainly would. You can do all you can not to look like a tourist, but you're still going to look like one; therefore a target to be taken advantage of. When I go to Spain at the end of August, aside from my wallet, I'm not taking anything that I would greatly miss if it was lost or stolen.

With so many pickpockets around crowded areas I wouldn't take a Rolex with me.

Don't take risks, leave it at home.

Regards,

Antonio
