It is usually very easy to recognize a tourist, especially those who visit us on Spanish beaches ...
They usually have the appearance of shrimp peeling, devido to want to eliminate their natural milky color in a week's vacation and go to the beach back and forth torrarse which grilled steak!.
An essential accessory for any tourist who boasts, are the sandals open, but to look like a true foreigner, must be accompanied by white socks (if possible, well estiraditos) that reach almost to the knee.
The rest of the look is complemented with matching shorts with a floral shirt that is usually carried out, a hat or visor and the all important camera around your neck.
Any thief or con artist sees the league, I've even seen some who "dress" for tourists to get close to the real, and try to steal the hand covering that slides into the bag with a map. When you live in a tourist area you see many things, and in summer some pockets are filled with Romanian scammers claveleras and several field day trying to make.
This is not to say that we can not visit the tourist areas because thieves are everywhere, also in certain countries will be evident from our appearance that we are not the place, but we must avoid falling into esteorotipos and mingle with the locals, always leaving aside our comfort and taking certain security measures .
Obviously we need a tour guide and a map, but also need open brazenly through a busy street. Ideally estudiárselo before leaving the hotel, organize visits a day and if we need to look at en route, do so without attracting too much attention.
What the camera is another topic ... Ok we feel the need to take pictures of everything around us, but there is no reason to take it to the neck, because we are drawing attention, and will be much easier for us removed. Nor should take up too much jewelry, there is no reason to boast, especially when traveling to areas where poverty abounds.
The things of value, the original passport (should take a copy over) and most money or checks, should leave them in the hotel safe. If the hotel does not have safe and want to carry it, a very handy travel accessory belts are hidden zippered carry money or money belts of safety that can be worn under clothes and go completely unnoticed.
