Napkins: Less is Not More

Napkins in Spain are...different. In bars, at least. Bars in Spain, or at least in the southern part of the country, serve food with drinks, and thus there are always plenty of napkins around. However, they are about as useful as using a sheet of wax paper to wipe my mouth. Actually, I am convinced that they have a wax coating, because they are always so pretty and shiny. And they always thank me for patronizing their bar, how very polite.



I can see my reflection!



As there is always a huge supply of these napkins in bars, I never feel bad using many of them, as 8 of them use about as much paper as one normal napkin. Oh, and bonus! These napkins serve as toilet paper for women in bars, as there is never toilet paper in the bathrooms in bars and thus these napkins are the next best thing.
