AVE & Tipping

Ministerios or Chamartin.
2. For general tipping info, I recommend you read the info on this page:

The Iruña sits on the Plaza del Castillo, once a bullring and now the buzzing nucleus of the northern Spanish city of Pamplona. Children skipped rope next to a gazebo, older men in berets chain-smoked, backpackers wandered and gawked, and clusters of hipsters mingled and gabbed on cellphones.... more »
