MeHeartCruising Posted July 31, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Looks like it is still fixed at 39 euros. https://taxi.amb.cat/en/usuari/tarifes See the Fare 4 (T-4) subsection on that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Toronto Posted August 4, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Turns out that I have one more question re this discussion. We have traveled extensively in Europe over the past 50 years but not for the past 6 or 7 years. I was wondering if the practice of tipping has changed. For a taxi fare of E39, it used to be considered a proper tip to bring the amount up to E40, for instance. Is that still the custom or is it now more like North America where 10% is considered the least and 15-20% is expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Spain taxis donot look for a tip ,if they get one it is a bonus , I gave 40 EU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeHeartCruising Posted August 5, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I love to tell this story, so here it goes again... In 2009 in Barcelona, I attempted to give a taxi driver an American-sized tip at the end of a ride. He refused to take most of the tip. I think I was attempting to give him €3 in coins on top of the €15 in bills I had given him for a €14.75 trip. Something like that. He would not take the added €3. You won't see that happen in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Toronto Posted August 5, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Good story MeHeartCruising! Thank you roger b. Lucky you living in Mallorca. We spent 2 weeks in Mallorca several years ago. Saw most of the island and have to say that it is beautiful. We enjoyed great food, great weather and lots of wonderful experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
