Greet staff with a friendly '¡Hola!' or 'Buenos días' when entering a establishment.
Start browsing or ordering immediately without acknowledging the people working there.
Explicitly ask for the check ('la cuenta') when you are ready to leave a restaurant.
Wait for the waiter to bring the bill automatically, as they consider it rude to rush guests.
Keep your hands visible on the table at all times during a meal.
Rest your hands in your lap while eating, which is considered impolite in Spanish culture.
Accept the 'dos besos' (two kisses on the cheeks) when being introduced to someone in a social setting.
Offer a firm handshake in casual situations, as it can seem overly formal or cold.
