We spent three days in Barcelona, hitting all the touristical spots,
taking the scenic bus, and the only shady things I saw were guys
playing the old shell game in the old town, using cardboard boxes for
a stand (easily folded and taken away, also easily discarded).

My wife and I have the advantage of not looking American, however.
Europeans uniformly address her in French, and me in German. We travel
by ourselves, or with her sister and her husband. (He is a real
squarehead, but can joke about it: "Mein Kopf, er hat vier ecke...")
