Barcelona bars hire private security guards to protect clients.

Several bars and restaurants located in tourist zones in Barcelona have begun hiring private security guards to stop their clients being robbed. Especially in summer it is common for gangs of teenagers to roam the terrasses (pavement cafes) and when the clients are distracted, they steals their bags or cameras. Security firms have admitted that they have recently received many more demands for security than in previous years. The establishments interested are mainly in el Born, Rambla Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia. Another hotspot is Port Olímpic, though businesses there have security guards all year round. One of the measures security firs advise bar owners to undertake is to close off the area with a mobile fence so that there is on single entrance to the terrassa.
