We went to Barcelona last September. We had a great time there. Beautiful city and one of cities I LOVE to visit it again and again.

Before the trip, I read few warming from the TripAdviser forum regarding some women post as fundraiser in the major monuments. So, I had no surprise to meet them few time in Madrid & Barcelona.

Here we go, just some photos of two scammers I took in the steps of Montjuïc, Barcelona.

Take care and have fun during traveling :cool:

They always ask the tourists to sign something 1st:

I probably would not have a hard time laughing my way past them after that last pic.

At least no one was picking their pockets. And I guess it's better than having a baby tossed at you like I hear happens in Rome.

Thanks for the post. It's always good hear what the latest scams are. I know there are theives in every city, but the internet sure has made it a lot easier to know what to expect when traveling.
