Really have to be careful with places in tourist spots.
We went to a bar, sat us down, and the waiter through a basket of bread on the table.
"Ahh yes this is so you nibble and get more thirsty so you order more drinks" we all think.

Nope, its that plus 7 euros! 7 euros for a bit of bread! i mean come on!

In Ronda I once had a "Terrace Charge" of 5 euros added to the bill because we decided to sit on plastic chairs on the pavement outside rather than inside?? Sorry but spain is all about eating outside. So i complained at that and said there was no sign about it.

Another bar, and I will name and shame this one for being utter wankers was the Buddah Bar in Marbella centre. Really nice inside being a Buddah place. We order some drinks. Theyre 6 euros each. yeah fair enough its nice we just go for one. Half way through our drinks the guys came round and swapped the menus. Suddenly 6 euro drinks were 10 euro drinks.. ok price goes up after 11. We go to settle the bill, oh and suprise suprise they charge us the highe ramount. I said err no we ordered before you changed the menus. Then suddenly they dont speak english anymore. He just stood there like a gormless twat with a smirk on his face and i nearly laid him out there and then. Coz they knew. I put the exact money down for the original price and said, call the policia if you want. And then said, oh by the way Im not a tourist I work for a big company int his town and I was going to organise a big night out here.. not now. you just fucked that one up. I hope he understood.


In Spain go find your local poligino. (Industrial Estate) and find a nice local spanish tapas bar there. Literally 200m from the sea front bars and suddenly Tapas are €1 rather than €3 and its better stuff.
