  • Tip Rating:
  • Swindle and steal is the everyday's job for this people! Their name is 'trileros'. One of their prefer places is in 'Las Ramblas' or 'Plaza Catalunya' where they are trying all the day make a deceit to pedestrians: specially tourists!!! What's the way to do it? Really easy! They are groups and they do a 'timba' that is a table make with cardboard, and hide a ball inside 3 boxes. Obviously, each person in the group has their function: vigilance, 'hook'...the main objective is tempt people to do a bet!

  • Tip Rating:
  • Bullfighting is a form of torture to animals simply based on amusement. In recent years, there has been an increase in the cruel practice of this fact, mostly due to a power which has strong financial support. These groups are able to portray a false representation of public sentiment toward this fact taht majority of Spanish people are against this cruelty. Today is a tourist attraction benefiting and entertaining a minority. For as long as each new visitor to Spain visits just one of this events, the event will continue.

    Be Aware!: I recommend you PAY ATTENTION...
  • Tip Rating:
  • I recommend you PAY ATTENTION to your wallet specially in La Rambla. Pickpockets are common people there. A comic Strip shows you the Typical thief, that's funny but not in the reality so...please avoid open bags, be become confused or pay too much attention to the human statues forgetting that you're there with wallet inside your pocket.
