How much should you tip a tour guide in Spain?

Guides on Alhambra, Sagrada Família and Andalusian day tours are used to tips from international visitors. €5–10 per person for a half or full-day tour is standard. Spain has a very large free walking tour scene, where the guide earns nothing but tips — €5–10 per person is fair there.

Cash or card?

Card terminals occasionally offer a tip option in tourist areas, but cash on the table is the normal way to tip.
