Cultural notes
Spanish moving crews ("mudanzas") work for a quoted price and tipping is not standard. Offering cold drinks, coffee, or lunch during a long move is the more typical and appreciated gesture. For an especially difficult move (stairs, heat, fragile items), €10–20 cash per mover at the end is generous and noticed but never expected.
