    Eliana Guerrero is amazing she has been at this for many years and she simply says she wants tourists to go home and say they enjoyed Barcelona rather than to say they were pickpocketed in Barcelona. She knows who the pickpockets are and where they like to work how they work. As already said, if the police did their job she wouldn’t have to do it for them

      Eliana Guerrero is from Venezuela 🇻🇪 she migrated from her motherland because the socialism destroyed the whole country. She loved Spain and gives all her heart to defend it and avoid the collapse of this country like Venezuela. Definitely, she honors her surname (Guerrero = Warrior).
