Circulate
Be careful with private vehicles. Traffic is chaotic and thefts from inside cars are very frequent. Never leave anything in a vehicle, even in a parking lot!
"Gorrillas" (caps), often marginalized, earn some money by watching the cars in certain streets: it is strongly recommended, if one of them comes to see you when you park your vehicle, to give him a few euros. It is a guarantee that he, at least, will not damage your car.
