Geoff Tuckley Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hello, All, We are going to Spain through France next month for the Winter. We have been hearing all kinds of rumours about bandits on the motorways in the Barcelona area. We are travelling with two other motorhomes so should be safe enough and the wheelbrace is always there for an added deterrent. Does anyone have a telephone number to get an English speaking member of the Guardia when in Spain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Do you think the Guardia will be interested? Look at thier faces are they bothered :-S Best thing is to mount a machine gun on the roof and keep the foot down on the gas. :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1ntersun Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Its not as bad as made out. Just ignore anyone trying to flag you down and make sure some one is in your van at all times when you stop. For peace of mind here is the english speaking spanish police no 902102112 Land line no Mobile police 112 spanish but there may be an english speaker available French landline to report crime is 17 Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Tuckley Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Thanks, We have done that route in Spain on 2 occasions before (Sept 08 and December 09) without any problems. It's just that we keep hearing these reports and I assume they must have some foundation somewhere even allowing for exageration on the telegraph.
