Fix pass. Tap Water now uses the shared Spain description of generally safe water and regional mineral taste. SIM Card now states 10 euro for 28 days and omits separate card validity. Cashless Friendly now uses the shared cards-and-cash wording. Corporate Tax now gives the shared 25 percent general rate. Highest Income Tax Bracket now distinguishes the 47 percent national withholding guideline from combined regional rates and the tax profile’s approximate 54 percent effective maximum. Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads now states employed remote-worker eligibility, the previous-five-years non-residence requirement and the limitation to the relevant income types. Best Cafe for Work and Parcel Delivery Service are explicitly listed as unverified because their map citations were inaccessible. Updated research attribution and verification date; retained the exchange rate and its date.
