Fix pass: Currency & Banking now uses the exact prep exchange rate and card guidance; Tap Water and SIM Card use the common Spain wording; Tax System restores the residence test; Highest Income Tax Bracket uses the national withholding and regional variation summary; Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads uses the shared passport-dependent visa and optional impatriate wording rather than the British-only opening and company-tax addendum. Theater Venues is now listed as unverified for its desk hours, address and capacity because the retrieved page did not confirm them (https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Spain, https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/spain/individual/residence, https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/spain/individual/taxes-on-personal-income, https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements, https://teldecultura.org/areas/teatro-municipal-juan-ramon-jimenez/).
