There are ladies outside the gates of the Alcazar selling embroidered shawls. They will really try to get your attention and get you to buy their ware. One of them approached me and said that she needed to the money to buy food or whatever. It was really difficult for me to communicate with her because my limited Spanish. And because I was too softhearted, I agreed to buy a black shawl for 5EUR.
However, when she was putting the shawl in the a dark blue (garbage) bag) she turned her back on me because she was actually putting in another cheapy type of shawl which was not the embroidered one I liked earlier! Twas a good thing that I saw her doing it and suspecting something fishy, I insisted on canceling my order and asked her to give back my 10EUR!
Oh well, after 10 minutes of trying very hard to communicate with her, I gave up since I really needed to get to the train station! So well, I got the cheapy shawl (a red one which was also embroidered but better than the black cheapy shawl) and my 5EUR change.
So people please, please, please, DON'T EVER ENTERTAIN THEM IF YOU DON'T TO BE RIPPED OFF!!! Leave a Comment
