Yes, It happened. We definitely gypped Even after I warned Ebony about the elusive gypsies in Sevilla. Let me just say that they look nothing like the very likable Esmeralda. I have a better comparison of what you should expect to see most times. STORY TIME!
While we were walking looking for our destination to meet, we got bombarded with a group of women holding these thin branches (depicted below). The idiot/foodie in me got excited and was like "Oh! Free Rosemary!" but as the females got closer, I was deceived! They take hold of your hand while they tell you the worst pre-scripted story about your life and future that is so vague that not even they believe it. Then, they ask for money for the crap they just blew up your orifice where the sun doesn't shine. Tips for future occurrences:
#1 Be very firm and avoid them at all costs, Run!
#2 Run!
#3 Run!
#4 Pretend like you don't speak whatever language they want to speak in and then Run!
#5 Give as little as you have (I gave American money only $2 which practically will be nothing after conversion and rate change literally a couple of cents maybe) then Run!
