As far as I know there is no word for busker in Spanish.

Yes, they do. But we would say something like 'Toca la guitarra en la calle'.

Nunca lo he visto. Lo que sí veo por todas partes es REA. A ver si puedes adivinar lo que significa.

I think "busker" must be specific in Spanish:

Músico/bailarín/payaso/mimo (etc.) callejero.


@Bob: "No se permiten vagos/vagabundos" might be the expression for "no loitering", but I have never seen it in writing as an official warning.

Las bardas aquí dicen "No Anunciar", aunque poca gente que les pone anuncios hace caso.

Supongo que es porque donde vivo ya no hay carteles diciendo "Prohibido fijar carteles", está prohibido en todas partes excepto en las zonas destinadas a ello. Digo yo que será por eso

¿Y un trovador no es un busker?
Sé que es una palabra que evoca el pasado. Sin embargo son buskers

Gracias a todos.
Me gusta trovador. Una palabra muy antigua que se traduce el concepto bastante bien; artistas callejeras que tocan la guitarra, pintoras, cantores y malabaritas en la calle.

When you say trovador (minstrel) I think of a medieval castle...but if you like the word...

Sí mi diccionario dice "minstrel / troubadour", pero la palabra suelta de la boca tal suavemente
