    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.
