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

Could nt agree more,christ on a bike have a wander round birchwood or Dallam any night of the week.

Why do people think they have to scare monger people all the time..

LOOK what we are inbetween Liverpool and Manchester,every weekend someone is shot,raped,stabbed,tortured or hospitalised in some way shape or form??????????

Whats goin on in other countries is nothing but slap and tickle..

Guys.....I just got back from a weekend in Barca and you will love it but do be aware of your surroundings.

A bloke in front of me on a very crouded train got his pockets felt by two girls.......luckily another passenger saw what they were doing and shouted at them and they did a runner.

There seems to be quite a lot of homeless people sleeping on the beach and grass verges......they even have matresses.

Dont let this spoil your trip.........its only like any major city in Europe........just be vigilant at all times and have a great time.

i've been before and am far from a drama queen, i feel your a little naieve, are you going?

Ive' been twice for England games, and though nothing has happened to me personally, have heard lots of stories from others. Just keep your wits about you and not start being daft

hopefully tony may be looking at a replacement for briers while over there
