But if you want to become it, is easy. To beging, you must go in the beach and make your skin all the red that you can. Are you red yet? Is the moment to go in a tablao flamenco, and pay a good money for to see four persons dancing flamenco for first time in their life, to get a little bit money this summer. Barcelona is specyally good for this. Inthe flamenco show, clap your hands and sey "ole, ole". Don't you feel ridiculous? Well, you are becoming a guiri, but still you are not. It's indispensable that you go in the Rambles and buy a mexican hat and walk with them. Finally, when you return at home, make a page in VT, and put the tittle: "Ole Barcelona" or "Viva Barcelona".

Especially around Las Ramblas, but really at any outdoor cafe (Catalunya, Passeig de Gracia, wherever) - you'll get these people randomly strumming a Spanish guitar and then asking for money. Personally I just emphatically shake my head until they go away, but it's entirely up to you if you want to throw them a euro!
Maybe just give your money to the good ones. Some of them are just plain bad.
Save that euro for another glass of cava! Leave a Comment

If you see a group of people one of them with a cardboard box, 3 glasses and a ball don’t stop!!! It’s a very old swindle but there are still now some people who don’t know it… They’ll try you bet to guess where is the ball, it seems easy but it’s a swindle… The best: don’t stop, sometimes there are “pickpockets” around "working" with them… In the exceptional case you win probably they will hit you in order to recover the money!
Don't play! don't stop! Leave a Comment

placa real
just off las ramblas, home to a great falafel shop and a few cool bars but also home to every schemer in the world. don't believe anything these guys who hang around the centre tell you. don't go side streets with them no matter what they say they can sell you. it's pretty safe physically - there's loads of police around.

In Les Rambles at night, there are people who play with shakers in little tables. CAUTION! BE CAREFUL! They put a little ball into one of their four or three shakers on the table and after make bets, they will ask you where is the ball and you SURE won't guess, because they always cheat! Also, the man who moves the shakers has friends among the people who is seeing the game and they are pickpockets... Leave a Comment

Be aware of thieves-gangs. They are everywhere and very fast. Especially in internet cafés keep an eye on your bag since the cafés are often crowded. people coming and leaving; you won´t notice them taking your stuff. Leave a Comment

When I came to Barcelona, one told to me that there were a lot of boutiques on the 'diagonal' street. However, nothing of all that was true: just some small kiosks of memories or florists. Therefore it is not necessary to waste his time on this street, it is necessary to leave rather in the small alleys to discover the truly Barcelona.
Warning also to your business, even though you are in group. The thieves are very gifted. Leave a Comment
