 Brits should ensure they read up on tipping etiquette before taking holidays to Spain and elsewhere, it has been claimed.

She added that in some countries it is considered rude to leave money at all.

 The key to surviving family holidays in Spain and elsewhere is spending enough time apart.
This is according to Bob Atkinson, a spokesperson for Travelsupermarket.com, who suggested that groups with older children should make sure they go to a place where there are plenty of activities to enjoy together and plenty of things to do apart.
"Do some things separately, do some things differently and you can still join up and chat about it later and have a meal out later," he explained.
