Tipping in Spain

0-10% typical

How it works

Tipping in Spain is far less structured than in the US or UK, and staff do not depend on it as part of their income.

How much to tip

Rounding up the bill, or leaving small change, is enough at most restaurants. Up to 10% is reasonable at a nicer restaurant for attentive service.

In practice

Tipping is rare at bars for a coffee or drink — small coins left on the counter are common but not expected.
