Some More Information to Highlight

CURIOSITIES AND INTERESTING INFORMATION

In Spain the Metric System of 7 basic units, known as International System of Units (SI); all our units of weight, measure and distances are ruled according it.

The tapas, an institution at our region, are hors d'oeuvre served on a small plates that were used formerly to cover glasses (their name comes from this, as a tapa is Spanish for lid) in order to prevent that way dust got into them. They are served at bars, cafés and restaurants along with drinks. We have to stand out that raciones (portions) are bigger than tapas.

It is usual leaving tips at bars, cafés, restaurants, hotels and taxis, not included in the price, or at least round up the amount, especially if the service has been satisfactory.

Telephone booths and Cyber-cafés spread all over our town make possible connection to Internet at different prices, and most tourist establishments offer this service to their guests.

Although Catholic churches are predominant, it is also possible to find cult centres of other minority religions, such as evangelical churches, halls of Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. If you want to learn more regarding this, we ask you to contact your local community or to contact with the community of your destiny.
