I would also warn anyone going sunbathing on the beach that they do not leave their possessions at anytime especially if you go for a swim. This will be my 4th trip to Barcelona and on the last 2 visits there have been teams of thieves operating on the beach looking for any opportunity to grab your possessions and run. Once they have done it once give it 15 minutes, half an hour and they are back on the beach again looking for their next victim, you have been warned....

C'mon the wire...

Good info for the fans that, nice one.

You are the love child of Chris Evans and Kerry Katona and I claim my £5

Good info slim stick together in groups if poss another tactic they employ is to get young groups of women to come over and make a fuss dancing etc whilst they riffle through your pockets a few of my mates got chased by pimps on the last visit they had to barcelona because they told the women to **** off when discovering that they simply were not being friendly and just wanted to nick their money.

As the pretenders sang slim i'll have brass in my pocket and no one aint getting my money other than the bar owners.

simple stick together on the beach, at the bars and never walk to your apartments when your steamed on your own.

See you there were off on the 8 o clock flight tomorrow.

As somebody who won't be in Spain in the next few days, can I just say good luck to those of you who are, because after reading all that it sounds like hell on earth!!...

Stop being such a bunch of drama queens. I would say the average foreign visitor would be far more at risk in the centre of Warrington.

Go enjoy the sun, sand and the game and have a few dozen bottles of Desperados.

Exactly what i was thinking!!....I bet the Barcelona Tourist Board loves this type of promotion!!...

To be fair I wouldnt leave my possesions unattended on any beach in the world....not even on the luxurious surroundings of Rhyl Beach.....


another bit of advice keep your hand on your Ha'penny

It is illegal not to produce ID when asked in Spain, though.

The Spanish can be a bit Standoff-ish with foreigners at first, especially tourists, so probably best not to offend the locals too much.

excuse me hitman was it not you makin comments about voting bnp and now using words like spic shame on you

Just testing the old irony meters.
