(AP) Security is high in Barcelona following a U.S. warning of the risk of a terror attack during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
The security alert, posted online and sent to U.S. citizens in Spain’s second-largest city, recommends exercising “heightened caution” around buses and public transport in the Las Ramblas area. Barcelona’s downtown boulevard, beloved by tourists and residents, was targeted last year during an attack claimed by Islamic State militants that killed 14 people.
