Type bares precios site:.es into Google Search and you get plenty of search results that say that information about prices must be made available to the public. For example even this: ¿Puede el bar o restaurante ofrecer su carta sólo a través de... -

@Molly Cassidy offers an excellent general guideline for the cost of drinks and snacks at Spanish café/bars. To my eye, and in reference to what I pay for drinks in bars in the US, these prices are delightful! But more than that, they are... -

Like @henrythedog, I also have had that experience, though I don’t know what the mark-up was. It was in Santiago, in the Tertulia bar years ago. I had a long conversation with the owner after having had a couple of cafés con leche and a whole...

Another surprising turn of the thread ;): So you don't just suspect that this happens in Spain, you know it for a fact. Thanks for sharing. Did Gaspar happen to mention the markups to you, like +72% or +0.05 eurocents or something? :cool:

I do not speak Spanish beyond a few short pleasantries, so I don't ask questions. I also know that Spain is one of the least expensive countries in the EU to visit, so I know that all the basic items of food and drink are reasonable, especially...

I can confirm dual pricing on at least one occasion. Whilst consoling myself after an abandoned first attempt on the C. Madrid some years ago with a flare-up of plantar fasciitis I regrettably took @Tincatinker s advice and embarked on orujo with...

Most of the bars that I stopped in on the Invierno had no kind of menu at all. It was often hard to know what food, if any was available, without spending a lot of time asking questions. I assume that locals just know what's available. There's...

On thing I would say about Spain, in contrast with some other countries, is that there doesn't seem to be a big difference in prices between one bar and the next. There isn't the same mark-up that you might see in the UK, where going to a fancier...

Okay, now this thread makes sense to me: You know that there are tourist areas in the UK with different prices for locals and non-locals and you suspect that this applies to the bars and cafes along the Camino de Santiagos in Spain, too. Why did...
