I hear stories of a lot of violence in the Catalan referendum and that could be an issue for expats in the area.

Catalan officials say at least 337 people have been injured in clashes as police try to prevent voting in Catalonia's independence referendum.
Without political comment, is the area generally safe and are there any likely problems for expats either directly due to the election or any underlying tensions?
