Question

How much should I tip in Spain? How much should I tip in Madrid?

Answer 1

Tiping in Spain is not a costume. Not everybody tips, and when they do is not much. It is not like in N. America, where people tip 15% or more.

For example, if you have a coffe that normally cost 1 euro, then 5 cents is more than appropriate.

If you go for a meal that costs less say 60 euros, 5 euros will be considered a very good tip. Rule of thumb is some change from the 'change' they give you after you pay.
