How do you ask to pay in Spain?
How do you ask to pay in Spain? In Spain, you can simply say la cuenta, por favor (the check, please) when you catch your server's attention. Another common phrase many locals use is ¿Nos cobras cuando puedas? (literally Can you charge us when you can?). Either one is a perfectly fine way to ask your server to bring the bill.
Is it best to take euros or bank card to Spain?

Do you tip in Spain?

Is it rude not to tip in Spain?
In Spain, tipping is entirely optional and it's not very common. You may see people leaving small change at cafés and bars and, eventually, someone tipping at a nice expensive restaurant. But most of the time, you won't see anyone other than tourists leaving a tip.
Do you have to prove you have money to spend in Spain?
