What is expected in each country, so you neither stiff anyone nor overpay.
Morocco Tip 10% in Moroccan restaurants if service isn't included; hammam attendants expect 20–30 MAD, and it's customary to tip guides 50–100 MAD per half-day tour.
Spain Tipping is not expected in Spain and menu prices already include tax. In casual bars and family restaurants locals just round up or leave a few coins, and 1 to 2 euros per person is plenty. In upscale places check the bill for servicio incluido; if service is not listed, 5 to 10 percent for good service is generous.
