[In Toronto]

Would anyone know the approximate charge for a taxi for 2 with luggage from airport to cruise port in Barcelona?

Thanks.

Looks like it is still fixed at 39 euros.

See the Fare 4 (T-4) subsection on that page.

Thank you both.  Fixed fare is good because then there is no confusion.

Turns out that I have one more question re this discussion.

We have traveled extensively in Europe over the past 50 years but not for the past 6 or 7 years.  I was wondering if the practice of tipping has changed.  For a taxi fare of E39, it used to be considered a proper tip to bring the amount up to E40, for instance.

Is that still the custom or is it now more like North America where 10% is considered the least and 15-20% is expected.

I love to tell this story, so here it goes again...   In 2009 in Barcelona, I attempted to give a taxi driver an American-sized tip at the end of a ride.  He refused to take most of the tip.  I think I was attempting to give him €3 in coins on top of the €15 in bills I had given him for a €14.75 trip.  Something like that.  He would not take the added €3.

 

You won't see that happen in the US.

Good story MeHeartCruising!

 

Thank you roger b.   

Lucky you living in Mallorca.  We spent 2 weeks in Mallorca several years ago.  Saw most of the island and have to say that it is beautiful.  We enjoyed great food, great weather and lots of wonderful experiences.
