LOL! I was in Spain (I think) in 72. They had toilet paper, yes! But parts of Mexico still do not (as of a few years ago...). An attendant at a bus station wanted the equivalent of about 10 cents for my step-daughter to use the washroom. She started bawling because she KNEW there was no toilet paper; she KNEW she was being ripped off! I paid the man and even tipped him surreptitiously...:-)

Again...I remember a seafood dinner in Venezuela at a swank restaurant that tasted like aquarium fish in a sea sand sauce! One of the few times food has made me physically sick. And they DID have toilet paper.<g>

I stayed near Malaga and have never been to Barcelona. What is your favourite place in Spain? Mind you, after listening to E, I am having trouble thinking about anywhere other than Venice!
