Emergency
police: 112 / ambulance: 112 / fire: 112
Tipping
Tipping, or "propina" in Spanish is not mandatory nor considered customary in Spain. As a result, you may find that waiters are not as attentive or courteous as you may be used to since they don't work for tips.
Cash vs. Card
€500 banknotes are not accepted in many stores—always have alternative banknotes.
