    Default Going to Barcelona soon. Any problems with Gypsies there?

    So I am leaving to go to Barcelona in a few days and since it seems from what I've read that Barcelona has a lot of gypsies and that quite a few people on the internet are complaining about gypsy crime.

    I've been to Spain before (mostly to Valencia and the Canary Islands), but never to Barcelona. Are there problems with gypsies in Barcelona?

    A neighbour of mine who is from Barcelona told me that the ones to watch out for in most of Spain (including Barcelona) are the "Russians" (but by this he meant Russians, Romanians and other assorted Eastern Europeans).

    none, are friendly people, is even probable that a gypsy wants to help you carry your luggage when you arrive in Barcelona.

    Yes, there is a lot of pickpocketing in Barcelona, watch out, avoid romanians, gypsies, moroccans, etc. There is also a lot of Latino bands.

    True. But that also encompasses Eastern European Gypsies, mainly Romanian ones.

    They are quite well organized and have a variety of distraction methods, even dressing themselves as tourists too. Men can be easily distracted by a hot tourist girl asking them something while another one takes his wallet, so I highly recommend always to be alert in crowded places, specially in the Ramblas and the subway. Northern absent-minded tourists, specially those women who are so careless with their open summer bags, are asking out loud to be stolen. Another pole of attraction are the Japanese, as usual.

    And if they steal you they don't go to jail, remember that moor in the camera who said "Viva Espańa, we can steal and they don't put us in jail ". Our system is a joke.

    Just with gypsies? Modern Barcelona has one of the highest ratios of criminals and misbehavers (including licenced drivers of cars and bikes) for average wealthness in the whole world. Although, obviously, their authorities use to keep it for themselves and not for the tourists guides.

    Actually I don't recommend anyone to come to Barcelona. The city is taken by urban tribes and there are curfew laws from 6 pm to 6 am.

    Anyway, I can teach you some words in Spanish to deal with the gypsies "Por favor tío, déjame al menos el pasaporte".
