    Due to our forced rescheduling our planned stopover in SdC can no longer take place. We need to fly out on the same day we arrive. Are there any facilities in SdC for a pilgrim to cleanup, change clothes before heading the anirport?

    If your bills are less than €10 then €1 is a good tip. As I said above, no obligation to tip and people who are too tight to tip won't anyway, like I said, if you are happy with the service be generous.

    Yes, I realise that. I've never had a €50 bill in Spain, though. My bill is usually less than €10, unless I have a menu del dia. Having said that, there is still no obligation to tip at all.

    If your bill came to say €50 rounding it up to €51 would be very insulting.
