Holidaymakers are being urged to make sure they know the rules
For many, holidays can mean good food, relaxation and perhaps a glass of something. If you are watching the pennies, as most people are, then all this holiday indulgence can cost. However, there are some restaurant features that travellers to Spain can enjoy and for which they don't have to pay for when dining out. It's worth knowing exactly what they are and when you do need to pay for them.
Water First on the list is water. An essential, especially if you're visiting a country where the temperatures are high. Restaurants can't charge or refuse to give people free tap water, even if they think it doesn't taste good.Service charge Bars and restaurants in Spain are not allowed to charge for table service or cutlery unless it is specified in the menu and customers are not required to leave a tip if they don't wish to do so.
Sitting outside Some restaurants charge a small supplement, often around one euro to two euros, to use the terrace. According to the Organization of Consumers and Users, supplements cannot be charged in bars and restaurants for terrace service, unless it is clearly indicated on the menu. Restaurants can set a minimum consumption or a maximum time on the terrace, but customers have to be correctly informed first.
