Tipping
You are not expected to tip on top of restaurant service charges, but it is common to leave a small amount, say EUR1.00 per person. If there is no service charge, you might consider leaving a 10% tip, but this is by no means obligatory. In bars, Spaniards often leave any small change as a tip, often only EUR0.05 or EUR0.10. Tipping taxi drivers is not common practice, but you should tip the porter at higher-class hotels.
