In this chapter we talk about Alexis from Gran Cita working as a gigolo and Paul Mescal in Barcelona. "And is this news?" is the question we often see in comments on news about gossip magazines and pop culture. And, evidently, they are not news that occupy newspaper front pages, but they are indeed topics that we often discuss with friends or family around a table or at the bar counter.

If you are the victim of a crime in Barcelona right now—a scam, for example—and want to make an appointment with the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) to report it, it will be difficult to find a time slot overnight. You'll have to search extensively among the available times at the various central police stations in the city; this will be practically impossible if we ignore the night and early morning time slots. In Ciutat Vella, for example, there is one at 8:15 a.m. on Thursdays, and this situation is repeated in Sants, Sarrià, and the Eixample district. 232,000 crimes could be reported. Of these, 199,000 could be reported using the appointment system, which is only available for certain types of crimes, such as threats, damage, scams, theft, bodily harm, occupation, and loss of documentation, which use it. 40%.
