C\Robadors: During the day, it definitely is not the best part of town. Junkies, prostitutes, thieves and homeless people conglomerate ?n dirty, seedy road. It smells and if you look like a blatant tourist, you will most probably be robbed. Some have even descr?bed this road as having more whores than doors. Strangely enough, at night, it is not that bad. Prostitutes move out to the Ramblas taking the dirty cl?entelle with them.

Drug use and possession for personal use do not constitute a criminal offence under Spanish law. However, public consumption is penalized with administrative fines. Public possession of less than two ounces of cannabis is not a criminal offence, although heavy administrative fines can be levied. Possession of more than two ounces, growing for sale, or selling are considered criminal offences, but prison terms are not as severe as those levied in the US.

"Marijuana, Haxixe, Cocaine?" You are bound to hear these words whilst walking around the streets of Barcelona by night. There is an increasing amount of North Africans who are taking their Masters degree in this area of business in Barcelona.

Guiri gives money, takes package. After 5 minutes of unwrapping a thousand layers of plastic and paper, guiri finds small rocks. Turns around, looks for "dealer". Nada. He is long gone. And so, another guiri bites the dust.
