Bandidos
Spanish friends were warning me about being robbed at monuments like the Alhambra gardens and other such parks and places where you might be wandering alone. I hadn't had any sense of trouble until my daughter and I went up alone to see the "Castillo" in Fuengirola. It's wooded and hilly. There were very few people around, we only saw a couple small family groups go up there and we were about to come back down the hill on the path when a man, around 30 years old passed by us sitting on the wall, he literally rubbed right past my legs and then he went and sat on the hill nearby and kept looking around and back at us. My instincts said I should get out of there, so I when I heard a family coming up the hill we made our move and went back down the hill past him. The number for general emergency in Spain is 112. I had a mobile phone with me and I always keep in touch with friends there since...
