I was a ginger once and can usually be found in the shade, I don’t sunbathe at all ever! I would like a refund for all the time I’ve not sunbathed please!

Even after sundown?

Can they also charge for sitting in the sun in winter?

We have had to apply a similar tax here in East Anglia!

That's not correct (I mean dailymail)
The Junta de Andalucia states that restaurants or bars can charge different price (if previously announced), depending on if you are being served inside the local or in the terrace. Nothing to do with shade or sun.

Perhaps Jim can take this down, if it's misinformation.

I did a research in Spanish in Google, because it did sound weird to me and found out what I just replied.
Don't worry if it's misinformation, that's the good thing in this forum, to have a debate and more sources to contrast and create your own opinion.
I believe it's a bad translation from dailymail.
Nothing bad about the thread itself

Or maybe the DM published a few days early?

I can't see why it would be that surprising even if what was in the daily fail was true ( however unlikely!).
If some tables are more sought after than others why shouldn't you pay more just the same as you pay more for better seats at a theatre.I think in the UK we commonly have the strange idea that what your paying for in a restaurant is just the food. I suspect that forms a very small part of the final bill.

Always been like that in France, 3 price levels, at the bar, sitting down inside & on the terrace.

It's the usual daily fail spin the story says it's going to mean they charge "tourists" more to sit in the shade are they saying it won't apply to locals?

Any charges will apply to all . You pay more for sitting in sombra(?) seats at football etc

I think Jim should leave it up as an example of misinformation and to be wary about trusting what you read on the internet. Also shows the value of this place in that misinformation will be caught and pointed out. Brilliant thread.

Surely no one is suggesting the Daily Mail isn't truthful and accurate?

 

[David and Sally]

I’m sure I noticed another ‘tax’ in Spain. Some bars, less in the glass if British than locals. ? Might be just me being suspicious or paranoid and being used to a full pint in the UK.

And I found once it gets to a certain time of evening prices went up too?

I think it's the glass half full Brits looking for examples of being picked on

I always understood that in Spain standing at the bar eating and drinking was the cheapest way to eat and drink, then inside, then more for the terrace as it would take longer to serve and clean the tables.

 

[The Ice Man]

You do all know what date it is ?

I suspect it's partly that but mainly because everyone likes to sit outside if it's nice weather. It's supply and demand.

31 st March what did you think it was!

 

[David and Sally]

Yeh. 31st March. (Sorry, can’t see above two posts as someone”s posts are not appearing)

I really regret posting this now. Perhaps I'll stick to just asking questions.

Nooo. We all get caught out now and again I have dropped quite a few gooduns in my time

No. Carry on adding value to this forum.
