Tipping 10% in restaurants is standard. Dress is casual but tidy for most places; some upscale wineries prefer smart-casual attire. Greet with a single kiss on the cheek.
Safety Warnings
Take caution in poorly lit or isolated rural roads at night. Petty theft can occur around busy transit stations; keep valuables secure. Rural areas are generally very safe, but be mindful of stray dogs.
Hidden Gems
Explore the Espacio de la Memoria museum, olive oil farms for tastings, and cycle the lesser-known wine routes through Russell and Lunlunta for authentic local encounters.
