lint fix pass. Currency & Banking keeps the same exchange rate and date in the corrected Dénia wording. Tap Water now says generally safe nationwide, with higher mineral content possible in southern regions. Cashless Friendly replaces the shop-identification detail with the prep’s advice to carry cash for smaller venues and markets. VAT and Property Tax use the same national wording as Dénia without changing the 21% rate or annual cadastral basis. Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads narrows the wording to employed remote workers with the international telework visa, retaining the conditional 24% and 47% withholding bands and six tax periods. Best Coworking Space address, price and hours, Best Hospital address, Main Train/Transit Hub address, Museums & Art Venues address and the historical Local Markets hours were confirmed and retained; current coworking tariffs, current Local Markets hours and former Networking Events frequency are explicitly listed as not verified. Research attribution and verification date updated for this fix pass.

Lint fix. Currency & Banking uses the shared Spain card wording with the exchange rate unchanged; Tap Water uses the shared national safety and mineral-taste wording; SIM Card uses the country prep’s 10 euro per 28 days rather than confusing card validity with bundle duration; Highest Income Tax Bracket distinguishes national withholding from combined regional rates and the tax profile’s effective top near 54 percent; Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads matches the shared inbound-worker wording without changing its rates or eligibility. Updated research date and model attribution. Added explicit evidence limits for Best Coworking Space, Main Train/Transit Hub, Public Transport Passes, Cashless Friendly, Regional Travel and Historical Sites; those local values were retained.
