So what is the first thing to know when you have already arrived in Spain? The first step is to keep track of your belongings and wallet, there are many pickpockets and common thieves. When you stroll along the Ramblas or stare at some sight, you will attract the attention of such a contingent without any problems.
Many tourists, to avoid disastrous consequences, carry small handbags right on their chests. But I will not frighten you, recently the situation with theft in Spain has stabilized, now the police are patrolling in places of tourist congestion, and not in small numbers.
What to say about the Ramblas market. Do not forget to bargain for each product, although fruits or things there are much cheaper than here in Russia, especially with regard to fruits.

It turns out that in Spain you can't throw coins into a fountain ... did you know about that? But I’m not, and the tourists sitting next to me also hardly guessed about it when they emptied their pockets of change in the hope of coming here again. And if you want to relax on the seashore with animals, then you will have problems, this is strictly prohibited by the laws of the country. The local population also negatively treats tourists if you decide to play, for example, volleyball on a public beach nearby.
You can rinse yourself after swimming in the sea, but only strictly without cosmetic chemicals (soap, etc.). All beaches in Spain are municipal, that is, you can relax completely free of charge, but you will need to pay for the rental of sun loungers or umbrellas and so on. Nudists can only be found on specially designated beaches.
