Part 3/9:
The concept of tipping in Spain can differ significantly from what many expect. Waitstaff are compensated adequately, so tips are entirely at your discretion. While it's appreciated for good service, it is not compulsory. However, some tourist-centric places might suggest tipping amounts, which can often feel uncomfortable. If you pay with a card and wish to leave a tip but lack cash, you can ask to charge a higher total, effectively adding a tip.
