history of the lookie lookies
they originally arrived here in spain about 20 years ago selling african artefacts, carvings of giraffe's, that kind of thing. however as most people travelled by plane some of these objects didn't sell very well so, keen on exploiting new markets, our african friends began selling fake goods, sunglasses watches etc. on the mainland in the big cities, they sell fake designer sports gear laid out on street corners at night. in ibiza a new market reared its ugly head with the arrival of clubbers and so called recreational drugs and the lookies moved into a new area by selling 'stuff' to young people.
i believe that lookie persistance in trying to do a deal can be annoying, however i would say that for most 'normal' people lookies are not a problem. not a single one of them has offered me anything for at least 15 years.
