Language: Catalan
  • Tip Rating:
  • Although Spanish is spoken all over Spain, Catalan is the official language -next to Spanish- in Catalunya, where Barcelona is the capital. So you'll find everything in Catalan, such as the name of the streets, some menu in some restaurants, and even TV channels!
    But don't worry. The people are well aware that this is a touristic place, and they will speak to you in Spanish if you need to. Well, that is if you speak Spanish....

    Tipping / Money Matters: Tips
  • Tip Rating:
  • Spanish people are not used to tips, so they don't give them out. It's not usual to give tips in restaurants, taxis or bars. So don't. Now, if the service was really good and you feel that you can't go without leaving some tips to the waiter or waitress, give it to them directly and don't leave them in the table.
    Anyway, if you don't leave anything, you won't be seen as a f*****g tourist. They will smile and that's all.
