Police say the sex workers are not being targeted because of their work, but because they pose a danger to drivers.
The move follows recent legislation introduced by Els Alamus town hall to ban prostitutes from offering sex for sale in public urban areas.
The mayor Josep Maria Bea has been accused of starting a campaign to drive the sex workers out of the area.
