ATM, CAREFUL!!!
the latest issue in safety is in the ATM or cashpoints.
Beware of children, yes, children, mostly romanian, who will try to steal the money as it comes out of the ATM. There are two ways
1) a child throws a note (usually 20 euro) on the ground and tells you that you have dropped it by accident. As you bend over to pick it up, another child takes the money out of the ATM and runs
2) A child spits on your face/eyes. Your reflection is, of course, to wipe it off inmediately, leaving them enough time to pick the money from the slot and run like hell
This is fairly common in the center of Madrid, but I would not rule it out in other big cities, in a small town, you should not have any problem, in any case, just keep an eye for idle looking people or children nearby when you want to get cash.
This said, such a thing never ever happened to me, but those things can happen.
