  • Please take some time to learn some Catalan before you go. Your high school Spanish might help a little but the people don't speak it. Some places are english-friendly but be prepared to ask for what you need in the native language. This is especially true in taxis.

    Tipping at restaurants is not required. You may leave your small change as a token, but if it is too much, the waiter may actually give it back.
