Fix pass. Tap Water now uses the shared Spain wording. SIM Card now states the country prep’s 28-day bundle, removing the separate card-validity detail. Corporate Tax and Tax System use the corrected comparison-city wording. Dividend Withholding Tax adds the non-resident rate and treaty caveat. Highest Income Tax Bracket distinguishes the national withholding guideline from combined regional rates and includes the country profile’s effective top. Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads explicitly includes eligible international-telework employees and the 600,000 euro threshold. Updated research attribution and date, and added the Orange tariff-table citation. Best Coworking Space, Best Hospital, Religious Sites and Historical Sites now have explicit evidence limitations under Not verified; their item values are unchanged.
