BATHROOMS AND HYGIENE
 
We welcome your comments on bathroom travel in Spain. Please write to backpackspain@backpackglobe.com

Type
Mainly Western toilets.

Hygiene
Generally clean, sometimes a little smelly

Costs
May have to pay a little in tourist spots, or leave a voluntary tip.

Things to Watch For
Huge queues in summer, the right change, occasionally the toilets are Asian style.

Tricks of the Trade
Go in restaurants like McDonalds where it's free

Language Guide
To ask for the bathroom in Spanish try: Dónde está los servicios?
In Galician in north-western Spain use: ¿Onde está o baño público?
And in Basque (around Pamplona, San Sebastian etc): Komuna non dago?
Catalan (Barcelona): On és el bany?
