Spain hotel robbed while they played

Post by Impose »

Six players from the Spain squad had money stolen from their hotel rooms in Recife while they played their Confederations Cup opener against Uruguay, Spanish media reported on Thursday.
The players affected, including Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, made the discovery after the world and European champions' 2-1 victory over Uruguay on Sunday.

Nephew's mother in law travels there a lot. There is the "rich side" and the "poor side" pretty much in most major cities there. Nothing really in between. If you go, be prepared to spend up to be safe.

Clearly Spain must have skimped on accommodation.
