I'm sure this info has already been shared, but here's an update: the Tuna are still working their magic under the arches in the Praza Obradoiro (facing the catehdral) in the evenings. I was there two nights ago. I'm guessing as of 10pm onwards... -
Originally, and stil in major university towns, a Tuna was comprised of students. But, for those of us who are fans of the Santiago tuna that performs almost nightly under the arches of the Raxoi Palace on Plaza Obradoiro, we might all agree that...

It's a brilliant addition to the atmosphere of the plaza, I always make a point of catching them. They could be a mixture of students straight from high school and mature students I suppose.🤔 They create a great vibe either way

Like.
In my 64 years of travel … I used my debit card 2X at bank-owned ATMs in Spain this past week to get Euros with no problem. To simplify, I change my debit card from a 6 PIN to a 4 PIN before my trip, to ensure compatibility with ATMs in Europe... -

I return my cups and glasses in Frankfurt quite often, and I did it in Spain quite often too. Especially in the small places where only 1, maybe 2 people were working. Always got a Gracias in return. Is it needed? No, but just something nice to do.

If the bar is busy, sure I'll bring them to the bar regardless if I might look a bit daft. It's the nice, kind thing to do. Also, have worked in restaurants for many, many years. In our view, it's always appreciated.

There was a long thread on this topic recently. Some who live in Spain said this may disrupt the work flow and at the least seem eccentric. Thinking about it, I don't usually return my glassware or plates in the US unless there is some kind of...

I do the same, it is certainly not expected but often welcomed. It is unlikely you will ever see locals doing it (not that is a negative per se) as it is not expected by the bar owners. Well done to you though as it's a very thoughtful gesture...

I always do it. Seems like just a nice thing to do. Most of the bars that I went into didn't have a lot of help and I don't mind doing a little bit to help keep them in business. You certainly don't get rich running a bar in the small towns that...
