      Take your rucksack off before you walk into a bar, please! If someone walked into my local with a sack on they would be thrown out. Carry it by all means, but try to appear civilised. It’s Spain not Mars so behave like you would at home and...

      I always clear my table (before and after is needed) and it usually gives me a chance to go inside and ask for a stamp (cello) or use the bathroom. On busy days, there may be someone waiting to sit at that table and I personally don't like to sit...

      Drinks inside, 99% of the time it's self-service. If the seating is outside, then there could be a server, best option is ask inside: 'Sirven mesas?'. Don't worry about offending, bars will not take offence about getting this wrong; and a smile...

      When stopping at a bar/cafe for morning cafe con leche and slice of tortilla etc, I would generally order at the counter, wait for the items and then take them to a table. If the bar is not busy, often one is not charged upon ordering but rather...

      Make sure that you start with a greeting, such as buenos días. I gained a lot of insight from this post from @MariaSP, who is Spanish:

      Generally you order at the bar. You can then either drink standing there, or bring back the drink on a table.

      Ok Pilgrims, I’m starting my first Camino (Frances) in a little over 2 weeks and am “wrapping up” my miscellaneous questions. This is a little trivial (no snarkiness, please): I’m a solo pilgrim. If I stop off at a Bar or Cafe and want a beer or...

      Mary Colwell’s new book The Gathering Place: A Winter Pilgrimage Through Changing Times. Why did it make the 2024 shortlist of the best travel books? Several of the books on the shortlist are centred around walks or hikes, including The...
