How it works
In the Albaicín quarter and on the steps leading to Mirador de San Nicolás, roaming musicians begin playing near tourists without invitation and then aggressively demand payment, surrounding the group and blocking movement until money is handed over. The amount demanded escalates if the tourist hesitates, and confrontation can turn intimidating. A second variant involves placing a CD or small item in a tourist's hands and then insisting on payment.
