Tip Most tourists tip in the same way as they do at home. If you’re satisfied about the food and service you could leave about 5% on the table. Smaller amounts you simply round off. Personally we really think the tip should reflect your appreciation so don’t be afraid to leave nothing or a little more if you feel like it. Change is called ‘el cambio’ and the tip is ‘la propina’. 'Rebajas' means sales.
Cash machines
Spain of course has the euro and you find cash machines all over town.
Mostly you can choose your own language. Some banks charge commissions but you can always abort. Mostly you need to confirm by pushing the green button. (continuar).
In most shops and restaurants you can pay with Visa or Eurocard / Mastercard. They don’t always use the secret number but you need to sign just like it’s a credit card (and they want to see your ID). Always make sure the machine looks trustworthy and make sure nobody can see (or film) your details.
