Monaco, who only left Australia three months ago, had her narrowest escape Thursday when a van rammed into a crowd on Las Ramblas, killing 14 people and injuring more than 100.
The 26-year-old Melbourne woman hid in a shopping mall in Placa de Catalunya during the attack when a van entered the pedestrianized strip nearby.
Something is happening in #Barcelona. Complete and utter chaos. Currently in lockdown in an Urban Outfitters. People running, crying.

Genuinely terrifying experience. One minute I'm shopping for tshirts, the next I'm running to get away from the windows #barcelona

Speaking to Australian radio station 3AW, she described the panic in the mall but said it had not deterred her from continuing her travels.
